From easy-to-use and intuitive functions to smart appliances which can be connected to your WIFI and smart home devices, appliances are becoming more advanced than ever before to offer the most convenience possible. With the cooler seasons approaching, we’re turning our thoughts to streamlining your entertaining from intimate dinner parties to seasonal parties.

A social kitchen layout

To successfully create this social hub, it’s important to open up the kitchen design and to move the appliances out into places that allow work zones for more than one person. This means that a friend or partner can pick up a knife and chop some vegetables or stir the sauce – creating a shared experience. Today’s kitchen needs to be able to respond to these needs through modular distribution and exceptional functionality.

An oven that gives you a helping hand

The latest oven from Fisher & Paykel has three main cooking methods that allow for a personalised experience with perfect results: Cook by Function, Cook by Food Type and Cook by Recipe. Cook by Function provides 16 primary cooking options familiar to all, Cook by Food Type gives the optimal oven set up for specific food types, and Cook by Recipe completely sets up the home chef to create specific meals by providing easy step by step guidance with imagery and menus, making your dinner party easier than ever.

Convenient beverage storage

CoolDrawer™ provides five temperature settings to deliver total flexibility at the touch of a button– Freezer, Chill, Fridge, Pantry and Wine modes, merging intelligence with convenience. So, whether you need to quickly chill wine for last-minute guests or keep Crudités fresh, the CoolDrawer™ is the perfect solution.

For the wine connoisseur, Fisher & Paykel’s integrated wine column provides ideal cellar or wine-serving temperatures for red, white and sparkling wines. It has two independently controlled compartments that feature four specially developed variable temperature settings. With the Integrated Coffee Maker you can round off the evening with a barista style coffee at home.

Simple clean up

The worst part of any party is cleaning up afterwards but the DishDrawer™ offers a cycle to suit every load. DishDrawer™ has been created with flexibility in mind, while still offering the premium technology and look that our customers are accustomed to. With the option to seamlessly integrate into the kitchen, both the single and double drawers offer customers quiet operation and use only the energy required for perfect wash results. The new series 11 DishDrawer™ even has a specific glassware cycle and is installed with convenient wine glass supports, meaning that your glasses will be ready to entertain again in no time.
