Last year it was announced thatHome Connect full range of home appliancesAfter introducing the 8 series infrared smart double-suction range hood and the 4 series 5D hurricane ring suction range hood with improved suction power, BOSCH announced today (10/3) the launch of the new 8 series ultimate black smart oven and steam oven in Taiwan. It boasts that it can combine artificial intelligence technology to identify different ingredients, and provides 1-5 levels of baking color selection, estimated cooking completion time, and can capture the cooking status of ingredients through the built-in camera lens, allowing users to accurately grasp the baking status without repeated visual confirmation.
The 8 series of ultimate black smart ovens launched this time are designed with a calm and clean black main tone, and the classic knobs are replaced with digital control rings, which can be operated intuitively like a mobile phone.
Among them, the 8 series ultimate black steam microwave oven has added a new "baking color palette" function, providing 1-5 levels of baking color selection. By pre-training with thousands of photos of dishes during the baking process, the oven can automatically bake the ingredients to the desired color according to user needs.
In addition, the built-in camera can still operate normally even at high temperatures close to 500 degrees, and can take and transmit clear photos of the ingredients being cooked every 10 seconds, allowing users to more conveniently confirm the cooking status of the ingredients without having to repeatedly open the oven to affect cooking.
The new 8 Series Ultimate Black Smart Composite Oven, which can detect the core temperature of ingredients with three food probes and control the doneness of ingredients through the "AI Smart Baking" function, can use artificial intelligence analysis to allow users to select the doneness of meat through the Home Connect App, and the oven will automatically cook the meat to the specified degree of doneness.
As for the "Dessert Master Bake+" function, it integrates the cooking experience database of thousands of chefs around the world and combines it with the core sensing technology of BOSCH's automotive business department. By detecting the oxygen content and humidity in the ingredients, it can automatically determine the oven temperature and cooking time, making it easy to make desserts.
Both the oven and steam oven launched this time are equipped with BOSCH's exclusive 4D hot air technology. Through a special airflow design, heat is evenly distributed at 360°C, and the circulation direction is changed every 3 minutes, so that the baked goods on each baking tray can be evenly heated and baked, and perfectly colored. It can even remove excess moisture from the ingredients through the "crunchy effect" function, thereby increasing the crispy taste. In addition, it can also use "healthy air frying" with the function of an air fryer, and the effect of frying ingredients can be achieved without using additional oil.
When preparing baked goods such as European bread, the "Baking Steam Injection" function can be used to gelatinize the dough and increase its moisture. The surface of the bread can be baked to a crispy texture, while steam is allowed to enter the bread to accelerate the temperature and expansion, creating a crispy outside and soft inside. Users can even customize the manual injection time and frequency to bake European breads with different textures.
The oven is also equipped with a "Healthy Steaming+" function that shortens cooking time at 120 degrees, thereby retaining more vitamins and nutrients in vegetables. It can also speed up the steaming of potatoes by 35% compared to traditional blanching methods.
In terms of cleaning functions, it is equipped with activeClean high-temperature decomposition self-cleaning mode and EcoClean Direct self-cleaning wall function respectively. The former will heat the oven to 480 degrees and start the high-temperature decomposition self-cleaning function. The user only needs to wipe the remaining ash on the bottom after the oven cools down to complete the cleaning work. The latter is equipped with a special coating of fine ceramic balls on the inner wall of the oven to automatically absorb splashed oil and dirt. When the oven is heated next time, it can be decomposed into water and carbon dioxide, and then gently wipe the interior of the oven and the glass door to complete the cleaning.
If it is slightly dirty after daily use, you can add a drop of cleaning liquid to 400 ml of clean water at the bottom of the oven and select the oven cleaning assist system function. It can soften the baked stains and grease within 20 minutes and wipe it to complete the cleaning.
The 8 Series Extreme Black Smart Coffee Machine, launched simultaneously this time, integrates the smart IoT functionality of the Home Connect App. In addition to the original 11 beverage options, it also adds 21 new specialty coffees from around the world, and offers three different aroma options: "Light", "Balanced" and "Intense", allowing users to mix coffee that suits their taste. The AutoMilk Clean fully automatic steam cleaning system automatically cleans the milk frothing system after each use, ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the coffee machine.
