GE PROFILE ™ MAKES SMOKING FOOD ON KITCHEN COUNTERTOPS POSSIBLE WITH ITS SMART INDOOR SMOKER The revolutionary food smoker brings the taste of the great outdoors indoors and debuted at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. GE Profile™ announced the GE Profile Smart Indoor Smoker with Active Smoke Filtration. The GE Profile™ Smart Indoor Smoker provides a revolutionary way to experience a time-honored cooking method – smoking food, without the hobbyist hassle. With innovative technology and countertop convenience, smoked food no longer requires a huge time commitment, plus a backyard and nice weather. As the first and only indoor smoker, the Indoor Smoker generates fresh smoke flavor using wood pellets and circulates the smoke throughout the inside of the smoker. Its innovative Active Smoke Filtration technology keeps the smoke inside the unit, not in your kitchen. Users will smell the aroma of the food cooking. Creating flexibility for users from novice to pro, smoke intensity and temperature can be separately dialed in to achieve perfect flavor, thanks to a separate heat source for burning pellets and cooking foods. Whether a hint of smoke or full smoke flavor is preferred, the Indoor Smoker gives cooks the ability to customize. Five adjustable smoke settings let users control the smoke levels until they find their ideal flavor. This level of customization allows cooks to explore barbeque favorites or new recipes with ease and achieve consistent results. The six preset food settings create amazing results for brisket, pork ribs, pork butt, chicken wings, chicken breast, and salmon, using a heat source at the bottom of the appliance. Users can also customize their own food and smoke settings JUNE INDUSTRY [ N E W S ]
