Neff introduces a new range of slideaway door ovens with AquaAssist® to enhance your everyday cooking options

AquaAssist® is the name of Neff’s latest cooking concept.  It brings together two established elements of Neff expertise – namely built in ovens and steam competence – to create an ingenious new method of food preparation which adds extra moisture to the cooking process.  In conjunction with seven cooking functions, the addition of AquaAssist® not only enhances the visual appeal of food, but also significantly improves the texture and moistness of the final result.

Water content

AquaAssist® is specifically designed to work in tandem with seven standard cooking functions, including CircoTherm®, CircoRoasting, CircoTherm grilling and Bread Baking.  It works on the principle that foods like potatoes, meat, dough and vegetables all have different water content and therefore react differently when cooked.  The addition of AquaAssist® boosts the traditional finished result by increasing the humidity for all seven standard cooking functions.  It is also ideal for crisping food such as Roast Pork and refreshing food such as bread, because the additional moisture prevents them from drying out.

New technology

The AquaAssist® technology features a patented two-stage pump system, unique to Neff.  One pump brings fresh, pre-heated water into the cavity as water vapour and the second pump removes any residual water.  The inclusion of a second pump guarantees that the water is always fresh and also avoids any chance of tainted water affecting the outcome of the food being cooked.  Not only is this method very hygienic but it is also highly energy efficient.

Total convenience

To operate the AquaAssist® function, water has to be added to the 500ml capacity water tank to the left of the oven controls.  After filling up the water tank, one of three humidity levels can be selected. If you decide halfway through that you want more or less humidity, you can change the setting.  In fact, water can be refilled at any time, even while the oven is operating, so it is always fresh. For emptying and cleaning, the container can be removed for total convenience.
Two choices
There are 2 new 60cm wide SlideAway door single ovens with AquaAssist®: models B46C74 (Series 5) and B45C42 (Series 3). These new versions are in addition to the existing Series 5 and Series 3 models.   Finished in stainless steel to coordinate with other Neff built-in appliances, they are ideal for combining either vertically or horizontally with the company’s In-Line range of compact cooking appliances, such as the coffee centre, steam ovens and warming drawers.
Multiple options
The new SlideAway door ovens with AquaAssist® boast a capacious 67 litre capacity and multiple shelf positions.  This means that they can accommodate much larger food items than compact models, offering additional flexibility for everyday cooking options.  Both models boast an A rating for energy efficiency and will be available to order from Neff retailers in April 2011.
