Reasons to love smart ovens, hobs and hoods.

Thanks to the digital technology that powers Home Connect, you can control your cooktop and oven via the touch display on any smart device. That means you don’t have to be in the kitchen to adjust your appliance’s settings. In fact, you can even preheat your oven before you get home from work or the shops. And since the app’s dashboard design is intuitive, operating your stove, electric or induction cooktop operation is easy. Want to go totally hands free to get more hands on? Use voice control with Amazon’s Alexa and Google Home.

Instead of trying to develop a chef’s sense for frying, baking and roasting, get Bosch sensor technology. It works with the automatic programmes to ensure you’ll never undercook or scape burnt food out of pots and pans again. Simply enter your dish and its weight, the Home Connect app will transfer the correct time, temperature and settings directly to your appliance. Planning a leg of lamb? Whatever the size of your cut, the PerfectRoast Plus meat thermometer accurately determines the core temperature and the app will let you know when know exactly how much longer it needs to reach peak succulence. Try PerfectFry on your hob for a sauté to make your day. Or how about a cake? The PerfectBake Plus baking sensor works much same way, constantly measuring moisture levels to determine the precise timing needed to achieve the ultimate crumb. And thanks to 4D Hotair, you don’t have to worry about which rack to use or even loading all of them. The fan distributes heat for consistent results from top to bottom.

Instead of cooking making you moody, let Home Connect help you become a foodie. In the app, you’ll find a wide range of seasonal recipes, created to make the most of your appliance’s features, including the added steam as well as the microwave function and “keep warm” option if someone is delayed. You can even specify what ingredients you have on hand and the app will provide recipe ideas. Looking for help with the preparation process or nutritional values? Home Connect can help with those, too. And when you discover a dish that you love, save it to your favourites so it’s always at your fingertips.

At Bosch, we do our best to ensure that you spend far more time cooking than cleaning our high-quality and incredibly durable cooking appliances. Whether your model features pyrolysis or the EcoClean Direct ceramic coating, you can count on our self-cleaning ovens to handle most messes and spills. The Home Connect app also provides lots of tips, tricks and reminders to help you keep up with the little things that make a big difference to extending the life of your stove. And if there’s ever an issue with your hob or oven, you can contact a Bosch technician through the app. They can support you remotely by analysing your appliance data and diagnosing the problem. In fact, they often resolve it without a visit. If work on your appliance is needed, the technician will arrive fully briefed and with the correct parts.
