This past week, I got a first look at an absolute game-changer of an
oven: The Samsung Flex Duo Oven, which was announced at CES earlier this year. In short, it converts easily from a single oven
to two, with just the insertion of a dedicated insulated tray through a center channel. Pretty nifty.
The Flex Duo Oven is a single 5.9 cubic foot convection oven, or functions as two smaller ones (2.7 and 3.0 cu.ft.). The really amazing thing: the separate compartments not only have their own temperatures and timers, but they don't mingle odors. Which means thanks to the Smart Divider, evidently you can bake cupcakes on the top and samon on the bottom without one smelling like the other.
I'd be scared to try it personally, but some trusted sources assure me it's legit.
Now certainly a convertible oven has obvious benefits when you're cooking for 20 people at Thanksgiving. But it has great applications the rest of the year too. I like the idea of using a smaller oven during the week to save energy, and get the preheating done a little sooner. There's also an electric range on top that includes a fifth warming burner, and a warming drawer below which is always handy.
No gas yet though; bummer.
As for how it works--from what I can tell, it's terrific. I not only caught a demo of the oven, I caught a demo put on by the charming Voltaggio brothers, two of the few Top Chef contestants to be better known for their masterful cooking than anything else (Bryan was the season 6 winner). They swear by the Samsung Flex Duo, and to whatever degree I take such celebrity endorsements with a grain of salt, the food I tried right out of the oven was spectacular.
I'm still dreaming about the roasted root vegetables, the flawless turkey, and those olive brioche pinwheels--all made at once, in one oven.
Now if I could just learn to cook as well as Michael and Bryan, I'd be all set. -Liz
