What‘s New
Bluetooth Scale – Designed to accent any modern-day kitchen, this professional-quality wireless scale is the most accurate kitchen scale on the market, measuring from 6 kg down to 0.1 grams. It measures all ingredients by weight—the most accurate way to measure. The scale has a backlit LCD screen as well as directional buttons, which can be used to navigate the app and even light up to correspond with any in-app actions. The scale also functions independently as a standalone kitchen scale with a built in timer.
Shopping List – Allows consumers to easily create a shopping list of the ingredients missing from a recipe they want to make. Shopping lists, user inputted recipes and the cabinet feature will also be able to be synchronized across all user devices.
Recipe Packs – In addition to the hundreds of recipes sorted by category, the apps now feature collections of recipes for specific holidays, celebrations or type of liquor, providing an easy way to organize recipes, as well as select only the types of recipes they want. When new recipe packs are available, users can choose which packs to install and opt to subscribe, enabling the recipe pack to automatically update when new recipes are added.
Current recipe packs for Perfect Bake Pro include Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Hanukkah. Additional recipe packs will be introduced over the next few months including appetizers, frozen desserts, pets, gluten free, good (healthy) eats, pies and more.
High-Profile Content Partners – The new recipe packs feature an impressive list of recipes from world renowned professionals in the food and beverage industry. Perfect Bake Pro features recipes by Chef Francois Payard, from his book “Simply Sensational Desserts.” Payard was a pastry chef at some of the world’s finest restaurants in France and New York City before opening his own bakery FPB and PFP Patisserie at various locations in New York City.
New recipe packs for Perfect Drink Pro will feature Absolut®, one of Pernod Ricard’s most prestigious brands, with “Absolut Classics” and “Absolut Holiday” recipe packs.
Increased Compatibility – Perfect Bake Pro and Perfect Drink Pro scales are compatible with Apple devices with iOS 6.0 and higher, and Android devices with OS 4.3 or higher, now including Amazon Kindle and Barnes & Noble Samsung Galaxy Nook.
Sharing the Experience – Early next year, consumers will have the ability to share recipes and photos from the app to their social channels.
How they Work
To make delicious treats with Perfect Bake Pro, users simply follow the app’s digital recipe, which is laid out in easy-to-follow color-coded blocks from prep to cooling. Rather than using measuring cups and measuring spoons, users just pour ingredients—wet or dry—directly into the mixing bowl on top of the scale, while a virtual bowl fills up in real time on their smart device.
The Perfect Bake app includes hundreds of savory and sweet pastry chef-tested recipes—from cakes and cookies, breakfast and ice cream, to gluten-free, sugar-free and vegan options—and users can add their own recipes. The app can also rescale a recipe to a desired serving size, pan size or shape, or to the least ingredient on hand, automatically adjusting all ingredient amounts. Other features include: a virtual pantry; in-app timers for mixing, baking and cooling; a portioning meter; plus, more than 60 original how-to videos. With Perfect Bake Pro, baking is more consistent, efficient and less messy.
Perfect Bake Pro Includes a stainless steel wireless scale (Bluetooth 4.0), free app (downloaded for free from the Apple App Store or Google Play), three color-coded mixing bowls, an oven thermometer and device stand. Requires three AAA batteries (not included). The suggested retail price is $99.99.
To make world-class cocktails with Perfect Drink Pro, users place the included shaker or any drink container on the wireless scale, follow the onscreen pouring instructions and watch as a virtual glass fills up in real time on their smart device. Perfect Drink Pro knows the density of each ingredient and senses the perfect pour. The app alerts users when to stop pouring and even compensates for over-pouring by instantly readjusting the drink’s other ingredients.
The Perfect Drink app includes more than 400 drink recipes searchable by category, liquor or other key ingredient, and users can also add their own recipes. Other app features allow users to adjust a recipe’s serving size, create custom cocktail menus for any gathering, and save drink variations along with an original photo. A virtual Cabinet allows users to catalog on-hand ingredients, generate a list of cocktails that can be made using those ingredients, and also make a shopping list of any missing ingredients.
Perfect Drink Pro includes a stainless steel wireless scale (Bluetooth 4.0), free app (downloaded for free from the Apple App Store or Google Play), 750ml stainless steel shaker and device stand. Requires three AAA batteries (not included). The suggested retail price is $99.99.
