Smeg launch Maxi Plus Cavity ovens

Maybe we wish for a simple dinner for four, but Christmas time is rarely simple, and you just know that the mass of relatives will undoubtedly descend on your household (and kitchen). You will then have to face the inevitable problem of not being able to fit everything in at the same time, and cooking eventually becomes a trial in multi-tasking and time-management. Yet, with 68 litres of space in your oven consider this problem solved.
Available as a multifunction or multifunction pyrolitc oven in stainless steel, graphite or silver glass, the frameless design, flush fascia, touch controls and digital display of the five Linea-elite Maxi Plus Cavity ovens adds to the sleek and stylish look synonymous with Smeg appliances. You can impress your guests with your culinary prowess and your stylish décor.
If you are cooking a typical Christmas roast for four people, the minimum oven space you will use will be roughly 22 litres* yet you will need at least 55 for a party of 10. When people often use their ovens for warming plates or retaining the heat of vegetables, extra space is vital. And if you are cooking for less than ten people you have the added benefit of not being judged for scrimping on portions!
In fact, you could cook a three-course Christmas dinner altogether in just one of these ovens. The extra large capacity of the Linea-elite allows you to bake your hors d’oeurves, roast a turkey with all the trimmings and heat your Christmas pudding simultaneously; using the Circulaire cooking function and the extra room to its full advantage. Circulaire cooking allows you to cook both sweet and savoury food without flavour transference, allowing you more time out of the kitchen to enjoy a glass of sherry!
The Smart-Chef programme of the Linea-elite Maxi Plus Cavity ovens provides ten convenient pre-set recipes for quick and easy cooking whilst an extra shelf allows five cooking positions and maximum cavity usage. The oven also exceeds energy efficiency Class A, reducing energy consumption by up to 25% in comparison with other large cavity ovens.
For a hassle free Christmas dinner, and the dinner parties that accompany the holiday period, this oven is a necessity. They start at approximately £950 so there is no reason not to reap the benefits of this fantastic new design, even during the thrifty Christmas period.
