The kitchen may be the heart of the home, but it is also the brain centre, where the latest in innovation and technology can help us cook, entertain, and connect better than ever before. The newest release from Siemens is taking this to a whole new level, with the launch of the iQ700 studioLine range bringing cutting edge performance and a chic new design profile to kitchens around the country.
Made for master chefs to novices and everyone in between, the iQ700 oven empowers us to dream bigger in the kitchen, enabling consistent, supported cooking that also looks as good as it cooks. With a dark black profile that juxtaposes artfully against stone, timber, stainless steel, and tiles, the oven is a visual statement, with a sleek, polished look that elevates an entire kitchen space. The black handle sits as a wide, thin feature, blending seamlessly into the oven frontage for a modern interpretation of the appliance’s most functional element. A simple and intuitive touch-screen navigation reflects the oven’s slick design approach, packing the impressive suite of features into an easy, comprehensible bar.

From a technological perspective, the iQ700 range offers AI powered automation and an unprecedented intelligence for home cooking. Perfect for those that would prefer to relax or entertain rather than watch over their oven, the new range is like having a sous chef by your side. With technology across the range including automatic food recognition that currently recognises up to 50 dishes, the oven will automatically select the right program for a perfect finish, while new bakingSensor Plus and RoastingSensor Plus features can predict the time remaining in the cook by measuring the moisture levels and the meat temperatures respectively. A fully integrated camera will also adapt baking and roasting results to personal preference, harnessing artificial intelligence to produce the desired amount of browning from five different levels.

When a quick and easy cook is on the menu, the iQ700 range’s built-in microwave and/or steam cooking functions can allow for faster, healthier meals, without the fuss. The integrated microwave works alongside hot-air cooking, to speed up the preparation of dishes by up to 50%, while a coolStart feature cuts out time consuming thawing, allowing you to put frozen dishes and foods directly into the oven for a single-step cooking session.
When it comes to steaming, fullSteam Plus combines steam and heat at 120°C for a 20% faster cooking time that still preserves the vitamins and goodness of your vegetables. A plumbed water connection automates this process, ensuring the oven’s water tank is always full, while the adjacent pulseSteam feature uses hot-air to allow for crisp and moist finishes to raise the bar on traditional steaming. Additionally, the iQ700 comes with an AirFry option to create extra crisp finishes with hardly any oil.

Whether you’ve got a soufflé or frozen fries on the menu, the iQ700 range is ready to turn out a perfect dish, every time. The ultimate convergence of design, innovation and cutting-edge performance, the different options in the range can see baking, roasting, steaming, microwaving, and air-frying made easier than ever before, all just a swipe and a touch away. What’s more, simple navigation and a beautifully sophisticated frontage mean performance and design go hand in hand, bringing michelin-level cooking and magazine-worthy interiors into one, futuristic range.
