New World Expands its Ellingwood Range Cooker Collection

New World's successful Ellingwood range cooker collection has just got bigger and better with the launch of five new models. Now with 10 Ellingwood SKUs available, all models feature in charcoal and silver to create two very different looks across a range of sizes and fuel types, offering retailers a flexible, affordable package for consumers.

Adding even wider appeal to the existing collection, the 80G and 100G gas and 100DF dual fuel Ellingwood models are now available in a sleek Charcoal finish. The new collection is completed by the 110G and 110DF versions which now come in a stylish silver finish for an alternative look.

The 80G 80cm gas model is a good choice for customers with limited space but who still want range cooker styling with its five burner hob, including a wok burner, conventional main oven, separate grill and side storage compartment.

Or for those with additional room the 100G and 110G gas versions have two spacious gas ovens, a separate grill, seven burner gas hobs with a wok burner and each have a gas grill and two conventional gas ovens. The 100DF and 110DF dual fuel models feature the same seven burner hob but provide the option of an electric grill, a fanned electric oven and a second conventional oven. All models have a removable griddle and handy storage compartments and the 110cm versions have a glass lid with automatic shut off for added safety.

Jayne Hall, marketing director of New World comments:
‘The Ellingwood has proved so popular with retailers and customers alike that it was important to make sure that the range catered for all tastes and colour choices. These new additions make the range cooker even more flexible for the consumer and add that extra versatility to the range.’

Neff Offers the Ultimate Oven for Aspiring Cooks

Whether you are a cordon bleu chef, occasional cook or total novice in the kitchen, you need an oven that provides you with the maximum number of alternative cooking options for the ultimate in choice and culinary flexibility.

Built in kitchen appliance specialist Neff says that it has introduced just that: a powerful multifunction oven with an integral microwave facility and a whole host of other combination options. What’s more, this compact oven fits neatly into a 45cm aperture for teaming up with a matching Neff single oven.

At first glance, the B6774 looks just like a normal oven but looks are often deceiving. Combining standard oven heating elements with an integrated microwave in one single oven, this model recreates traditional cooking & browning results in a fraction of the normal time taken.

This compact model has a selection of over 51 alternative automatic cooking functions, plus baking, grilling, hot air cooking and multi level cooking options using the latest combination microwave technology to provide all your culinary needs in just one cooking appliance. An LED ClearText display on the control panel lets you know what’s cooking at all times.

There are 5 power levels ranging from 90W to 900W on the B6774, plus memory programmes to record your favourite recipes, advanced InnoWave technology for even better cooking results and a reduction in cooking times for lower energy consumption. A useful child safety lock is also incorporated.

Cleaning is made easy, thanks to the built in CeramiClean roof and back liners, which keep on working throughout the life of the appliance. An integral cooling system means that this appliance is flexible enough to be built in next to a fridge or freezer, as well as at eye level or under the counter.

Available in a choice of four different colourways – black, white, brown and stainless steel with matching signature retractable oval controls and stylish bar handle – this new oven blends in perfectly with other Neff built in cooking appliances, such as single and double ovens and warming drawers, from the company’s comprehensive new collection for 2005.

Wine Cellar at Ground Level

Vestfrost is launching a new product for wine collectors and restaurants - multi zoned wine cabinets that can be fitted into the kitchen or dining room for the optimal storage of red, white and vintage wines. The FZ 295W and FZ 365W wine cabinets are multi-zoned so you can keep your red wine at +22°C in the top at the same time as storing your white wine in the bottom at +6°C. The cabinets have wooden shelves and a carbon filter to clean the air, ensuring that impurities do not penetrate the cork and affect the wine.

Traditionally, wine is stored in cool, dark cellars in order to keep it at the right temperature and in the right air quality. Now, this is no longer necessary. Vestfrost makes it possible to have a wine cellar at ground level for your convenience, keeping your wine in the ideal conditions within well-designed cabinets.

The stylish cabinets have brushed aluminium door frames, wooden shelves and smoked glass doors. The smoked glass doors provide UV protection for the wine, and a sophisticated lighting system means you can keep the cabinet dark while the door is closed, or illuminated to show off your amazing wine collection. There's also an integrated lock for security, just in case anyone finds your collection a little too attractive!

These wine cabinets are designed to be extremely easy to use. The electronic thermostat ensures precise and simple regulation of cabinet temperatures.
Once set, temperature regulation takes place electronically. Temperature options range from +6ºC to +22ºC.

The height of the wooden shelves inside the cabinets can be adjusted to ensure optimal storage and display. The cabinets and shelves are designed to ensure that the wine is not subjected to any vibrations, allowing it to mature undisturbed.
