Gaggenau, the luxury professional-grade home appliance brand, has launched upgraded 200 and 400 series culinary warming drawers.

Warming drawers have always been popular with chefs involved with large-scale gatherings. The reason is simple: keeping culinary delights ready to eat, and plates, servers and cups warm means everyone can stay calm during preparation and dinner.

Multifunctional models
Both models have finely tuned temperature controls that can be adjusted in 10°c increments, adding functionality to an already versatile appliance. Bakers can use their drawer to prove dough in ideal conditions, for example, while home chefs who like to plan ahead can use theirs to slow cook casserole or ragu to delicious perfection. Equally, for those in need of a late-night supper, drawers can be used to heat leftovers.

Precision controls
Each culinary warming drawer is controlled via a sleek touch panel revealed when the drawer opens. Its design means you can set the temperature yourself or choose from four preinstalled programs with pre-set temperatures: slow cooking, food warming, heating of cups and heating of plates.

Smart capabilities
Gaggenau has channelled its technical expertise into ensuring the culinary warming drawers slot perfectly into a smart kitchen. For example, via the Home Connect app, you can do practical tasks such as setting a timer to end a program or add a favourite setting to the drawer’s control panel. The app also offers access to additional programs and exclusive recipes so you can unlock even more of the drawers’ culinary capabilities.

Perfectly placed
Exceptionally crafted, the warming drawers are designed to complete the Gaggenau kitchen. They can either be placed under an oven, combi-steam oven or microwave, or combined in a bank of appliances with two drawers for the ultimate in flexibility. Equally, they can be installed separately so they are placed exactly where you need them. For example, the 140mm drawer is compact enough to slot under a worktop so you might site one in an island close to where you serve up. Alternatively, a drawer adjacent to the coffee machine will ensure warmed cups are always conveniently to hand.
