Cooking is one of our favourite tasks here at Foodism. We love eating, we love great restaurants, and we love whipping up something great in the kitchen. We also love when something comes along to make the latter as easy as possible. We can work with the most basic of tools, but there’s nothing like incredible appliances to help you level up your game – and AEG have just released some of the best in the biz.

Turning to technology to help optimise your performance in the kitchen, AEG have developed a bunch of new advancements, including the CookSmart Touch and CookSmart Touch+ displays which offer step-by-step guidance, and eco-tips, alongside the 8000 Series SteamPro Oven with a Steam Function which helps to retain up to 90% of food vitamins (1), while earning an A++ energy rating, and, perhaps most impressively, the AI Taste Assist. Accessed through the AEG app, this digital sous chef suggests the best oven settings for each dish, based on the oven’s capabilities, so you get the most from every ingredient.

Plus – and perhaps most importantly – each appliance looks incredible in your kitchen, too, thanks to contemporary design and thoughtful touches like the glass of the SaphirMatt® hob – matt black glass that’s up to four times more scratch-resistant(2), combining durability with minimalist style.
