It makes sense that historic Italian appliance brand Smeg (creating some of the world’s most lauded appliances since 1948) is the name ushering us into a new era of at-home cooking. After all, isn’t Italy the birthplace of the culinary arts?

In a move that rings true to the kind of superior quality and bold, forward-thinking we’ve come to expect from the brand, Smeg has recently unveiled its impressive new Galileo range. Built around groundbreaking multi-cooking technology, it’s destined to make your dinner-party recipes taste like something prepared by a Michelin-star chef.

Smeg Galileo (its name fittingly inspired by the father of modern science) is the culmination of years of meticulous research, and presents as a unique combination of premium Italian design, manufacturing excellence and unparalleled technological innovation. The Galileo range comprises a new generation of ovens, developed around a redesigned cavity that marries traditional, steam and microwave cooking methods and can offer the power of up to seven cooking technologies in one appliance.

Basically, for the at-home cook, this results in a lot less time spent prepping, cooking and cleaning up (around 70 percent less time, in fact), and a far more accurate, reliable and consistent outcome, no matter what is going in the oven. This is thanks to Smeg’s clever use of professional algorithms, alongside handy tools like Multistep — a set-and-forget function to ensure the perfect cook every time — and Sametime — an essential timing assistant for when trying to prepare multiple dishes at once.

Ultimately, Smeg’s Galileo range proves why this brand is increasingly favoured as the appliance of choice for design-led private homes. Made to fit seamlessly into any kitchen and offering functionality at a level that is on par with a professional set up, this new range is nothing less than a culinary revolution, and will take your favourite recipes to bold new heights.
