Whirlpool Corporation’s connected cooking appliances, starting with Jenn-Air WiFi connected ovens, will offer the Innit platform to enable advanced automated cooking and dynamic digital recipes to help people cook more at home. Innit is a leading food tech innovator and its platform combines personalized culinary and nutritional science with cutting Âedge information technology to power the emerging Connected Food ecosystem. Innit’s team of chefs, nutritionists and engineers uses food science and technology to help people manage and prepare their food with ease. The Innit platform identifies and measures food using advanced sensors in the kitchen, recommends recipes based on inventory, and automatically executes expert cooking techniques on connected kitchen appliances. Innit was founded in 2013 in Silicon Valley.
Through this partnership, consumers have a way to access thousands of digitized recipes, based on personalized dietary and taste preferences. Consumers will be guided by intuitive step-by-step preparation instructions, and with just a few clicks, will be able to cook with chef-level quality on their Jenn-Air connected oven. Cooking is tailored to the weight, temperature and type of food, helping insure great results. “Whirlpool Corporation has taken a leading role in introducing innovative connected appliances, and the Innit platform adds powerful and intuitive ways to connect food to the kitchen”, said Brett Dibkey, Vice President, Integrated Business Units at Whirlpool Corporation. “Jenn-Air and Innit are delivering a new layer of intelligence to the kitchen, helping consumers achieve breakthrough levels of convenience, flavor, and healthy cooking – added Steve Brown, General Manager of Jenn-Air -. We’re confident that Jenn-Air consumers, as early adopters, will embrace this technology and the added precision it brings to cooking and entertaining”. Whirlpool Corporation and Innit plan to begin consumer trials in late 2016, with availability on all Jenn-Air connected wall ovens planned for the first half of 2017. Starting immediately, consumers can get a taste of the joint offering in live demos and cooking classes on Jenn-Air products, offered exclusively at the Pirch retail showroom in SoHo, New York City.
