Thermador microwave goes under the countertop

Kitchen countertops are busy landscapes. As with any endeavor, tools of the trade can sometimes clutter the work area. However, cutlery and cutting boards are much easier to store away and out of sight than appliances are. Usually.

The Thermador MD24JS Built-in MicroDrawer Microwave employs a creative use of space that allows it to always be at the ready while not being in the way. Installing directly into standard-depth cabinetry, the 24-inch built-in microwave slides open at a touch (no handle) and features a full-flush front for an attractive aesthetic that blends into the environment of the kitchen. With a … Read more

Speedy new Thermador dishwasher sets the pace

Tearing through prep work to create a meal is a natural experience for any cook. Things need to get chopped, sliced, and diced, and hungry people don't like waiting.

Thermador opens up the induction cooktop

Cooking is interactive and requires a certain degree of flexibility.

Things don't always go as planned in the kitchen and even when they do, the necessity to be able to hop from one thing to the next is something that is as natural as stirring the sauce while keeping one eye on the meat.

Dealing with variables is a fact of life in the kitchen and the Thermador Freedom Induction Cooktop can accommodate. The new cooktop for home kitchens is designed to allow cookware of any size to be placed anywhere on its surface.

A series of 48 individual … Read more

Thermador upgrades refrigeration for 2012 collection

Food (and wine) storage requires a commitment. The big appliances that house our food and drink often do so with little regard for their surroundings. Considering that these appliances dominate the kitchen landscape, it should be easy to make them act and look like we want them too. The Thermador 2012 Freedom Collection would agree.

The ability to customize the kitchen according to how we see fit is an achievable goal thanks to the modular styling of the collection. The built-in appliances include customizable refrigerators, freezers, and wine-storage units with a host of improvements that have been applied to the … Read more

The gleam of a steam range

Central to any kitchen is the cooking. But when speaking specifically of appliances, that begs the question of what kind of cooking. Not too many appliances are geared to tackle a variety of different methods of preparation. Finding one that does it all and delivers it in an attractive package can really make the kitchen shine.

The Thermador 48-Inch Pro Grand Steam Range combines convection baking with steaming, expands the gas burner cooktop, and throws in a griddle and a warming drawer for good measure. No less than six burners and two ovens provide all this fire (and steam) power.… Read more

Steam and convection combine for versatility

Home cooks are faced with many different options for preparing meals. Unfortunately (or not, depending on how you look at it), not all of them are healthy. After all, at times it can be a chore to try and produce a healthy meal. However, one of the healthiest ways of cooking (steaming) doesn't have to be relegated to countertop appliances or elaborate stovetop setups. Instead, it can be as easy as opening the oven door.

The new Thermador Steam and Convection Oven offers an easy way for home cooks to make healthy meals. The oven features three distinctly different … Read more

A masterpiece of a cooktop

In its line of Masterpiece Cooktops, Thermador has included a number of technological improvements to make cooking an easier matter. These electric cooktops include the largest cooking elements on the market, Thermador's CookSmart and SensorDome technologies and touch controls.

The innovation of the SensorDome system is especially useful: the infrared sensor technology continuously measures heat coming from your cookware and instructs the heating element to cycle on and off to maintain a precise temperature while eliminating boil overs. The SensorDome system works in conjunction with CookSmart, a Thermador innovation that allows you to preprogram your cooktop for common recipes, … Read more

Do away with the one-size-fits-all fridge

If there's one thing I could use more of in my refrigerator, it's vertical height. If your refrigerator door is buckling under the weight of several bottles of wine and cartons of milk and juice, then you know what I'm talking about.

For some reason, most refrigerators have not been designed with these vertically challenged containers in mind, and when I run out of space in the door, I have to stuff bottles on their sides on the middle shelf in a pyramid of glass and plastic that takes up all of the room and often leaks … Read more

Three-in-one oven offers kitchen planning options

For some kitchens, finding a spot for every appliance you want can be difficult; an oven can take up a surprising amount of floor space and a microwave can monopolize counter space. And setting the microwave on top of the range is just asking for trouble.

Or is it? Thermador's Triple Combination Oven implies otherwise. This appliance is a microwave, oven, and warming drawer, all in one. You'll still need a cooktop to go with it--Thermador's line of induction cooktops are a nice match if you're shopping--but the Triple Combination Oven has the potential to free … Read more
