Panasonic’s Countertop Induction Oven makes meals in minutes

Panasonic is now in the high-tech food market with the introduction of a new counter top appliance that the company says will cook your food in just minutes.

Panasonic unveiled the world’s first Countertop Induction Oven (CIO) at the International Home & Housewares Show over the weekend.  The device combines induction and double-infrared heating technologies to quickly grills, bakes, toasts, and re-heats and requires little or no preheating, resulting in perfectly cooked meals.

The oven comes along with pre-set menu options and adjustable temperature control, allowing users to  grill steaks, as well as cook chicken and vegetables all at once.

According to Panasonic, the secret to flavorful results is the combination of direct induction heat and a sealed, compact interior, which is accompanies by flavored, circulating steam to enhance taste. The CIO also has a dishwasher-safe grill which produces BBQ-quality sear and sizzle.

“Our new, one-of-a-kind Countertop Induction Oven will change the landscape of the consumer’s kitchen,” said Lisa Knierim, Vice President of Panasonic Home Division. “The CIO is an example of innovation at its best.  It delivers a quick, yet high-end and healthy cooking experience to consumers in a compact, easy-to-use design.”

The Panasonic Countertop Induction Oven will be available in October 2016 with pricing and availability to be announced at a later date, but word is that the oven will price at about $600.
