Grand Architectural Statements: Gaggenau unveils the new Vario cooling 400 series Wine Cabinet

Luxury professional-grade home appliance manufacturer, Gaggenau, proudly announced the launch of the new Vario Cooling 400 series Wine Climate Cabinet last week at KI Cubus, Causeway Bay.

In the same occasion, the 3^rd Gaggenau Sommelier Award-Hong Kong was awarded to Reeze Choi, with the presence of German Wine Queen, Ms Katharina Staab.

Denise Tan, Head of Category Management Cooking And Gaggenau commented: “ We wanted to focus on the candidates’ attitude and philosophy regarding wine culture – aspects that also play a role in the latest design of the Gaggenau Vario Cooling 400 Wine Climate Cabinet and brand identity.”

Inspired by grand architectural structures, the new Vario Cooling 400 series Wine Cabinet has been designed for those who appreciate the aesthetically advanced and will be available in Hong Kong from August.

Special highlights include a handless door cooling wall design, opening assist system, telescopic rails and up to three independently controlled climate zones.

Sven Baacke, Head of Design, Global Brand Gaggenau comments: “Staged beautifully and with perfect illumination, you are no longer sampling storing wine or refrigerating, you are making a statement.”

Food vacuum

If you thought the only things you could vacuum in your house were the carpet and upholstery then think again, because food can also be vacuumed. But not quite the way you think.

Unlike a vacuum, that needs to change its bag pretty regularly to empty the hair and unmentionables, vacuuming drawers in ovens are used to remove oxygen from the vacuum bags, and they are also perfect for sous-vide cooking.

For anyone not in the know — philistines! — sous-vide cooking is a highly regulated method of cooking tightly sealed food in lower-than-normal temperatures for a longer time for benefits such as even cooking and better texture and aroma.

And for amateur and professional chefs who like the idea of this sought-after culinary trend, then there are a number of companies who now make this oven and drawer in Hong Kong, such as Gaggenau.
