Whirlpool®’s Scan-To-Cook Simplifies Cooking
Let’s face it – a fresh home-cooked meal takes time. With life’s busy schedule of work, soccer practice, ballet class, and Cub scouts, there isn’t always enough time to make a meal from scratch for your family every evening. Instead of opting for the trans-fatty meals of fast food every time your schedule fills up, a much healthier alternative is premade frozen foods. In fact, for these very reasons families around the world turn to frozen foods everyday to provide their loved ones with freshly warmed, home cooked meals. From cheese-filled tortellini to pre-baked stir fry, the hearty meals of frozen foods encourage families to sit together as a family and create heartwarming memories. However, even frozen food requires some work, including setting the right cook settings and sometimes multi-step instructions. What if your cooking appliance could take the work out of cooking for you?
Taking the smart kitchen to a new level, Whirlpool has designed a revolutionary technology called Scan-to-Cook. The industry-first feature takes the guesswork out of frozen food prep to get your meals to the dinner table even quicker.
Using the Whirlpool app on your smartphone or tablet, simply scan the UPC code on the packaging of your frozen food. The app then sends the cooking settings to your oven, range or microwave, including the directions, temperature, and time while you kick back and relax, or more realistically get back to getting the kids ready for the next practice.
The Scan-to-Cook feature also simplifies frozen meals that require multiple steps. For example, let’s say you want to cook up some cheesy macaroni and cheese. You’ll need to bake the noodles, broil the breadcrumbs, and then keep the dish warm in time for dinner. This would normally require you set timers and stop your activities a few times to adjust the cook settings and temperatures. Instead, the Scan-to-Cook technology sends the three-step directions to your cooking appliance and automatically adjusts the cooking settings. Never worry again about undercooked macaroni or burnt breadcrumbs. The Scan-to-Cook technology gives your food perfect results every time.
