Innit Delivers Breakthrough Smart Kitchen Assistance
Technology company Innit® is collaborating with LG Electronics USA to deliver smart kitchen solutions that make everyday cooking less complicated and time-consuming for home cooks of all skill levels. At this year’s CES® 2018 and the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show, LG and Innit demonstrated how Innit works with 2018 Wi-Fi-connected LG smart ovens and ranges to help families plan, shop, prepare and cook meals with more confidence.
Innit’s automated cooking programs work seamlessly with LG connected ovens and ranges featuring the company’s LG SmartThinQ™ technology to help at-home chefs create meals with step-by-step support — from getting personalized meal recommendations and real-time cooking guidance to automatically programming their LG ovens with customized cooking programs for delicious results every time.
Starting with personalized recommendations in the Innit mobile app, consumers can customize delicious meals based on diet, allergies and dislikes. They can customize every element of the meal, including protein, starch, vegetables, and sauces, allowing them to experiment with new flavors and ingredients to match their cravings or make the most of what’s in the refrigerator.
Once consumers design the perfect personalized meal, Innit acts as a “Culinary GPS” system with how-to videos and real-time cooking guidance that update with every meal customization. The Innit app intelligently sequences multiple steps from several dishes simultaneously, saving time and ensuring that all components of the meal are ready at the same time. Once it’s time to cook, Innit’s adaptive cooking programs seamlessly send cooking instructions — including cooking temperature, mode and timing all customized to the selected dish — to LG smart appliances.
Innit will launch later this year across LG’s expansive portfolio of home appliances in the US.
