Whirlpool And Innit Allign To Take Connected Kitchen To The Next Level

Whirlpool Corporation WHR and Innit revealed that both have reached a partnership to bring a new layer of food intelligence to support people eat and live better. Whirlpool said that its connected cooking appliances, starting with Jenn-Air brand WiFi connected ovens, would offer the Innit platform to allow advanced automated cooking and dynamic digital recipes to help people cook more at home.

The companies indicated that Innit- empowered appliances, as well as apps give consumers a way to access thousands of digitized recipes, based on personalized dietary and taste preferences. The company added that consumers would be guided by intuitive step-by-step preparation instructions, and with just a few clicks, would be able to cook with chef-level quality on their Jenn-Air connected oven.

With no guesswork, Cooking is tailored to the weight, temperature and type of food, helping ensure great results. In step with its position as an industry leader, the white goods company is gearing up for a market on the cusp of higher demand for intuitive, connected home appliances.

The company's VP, Integrated Business Units, Brett Dibkey, said, "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."

Similarly, Innit founder and president, Eugenio Minvielle, commented, "Nearly every aspect of our lives has benefitted from digital innovation, but food and the kitchen are still largely analog. Together, Innit and Whirlpool Corporation are bringing forward a new class of technology to empower people through food, while maximizing simplicity and enjoyment. By unlocking information within food, Innit can help consumers get more out of their Jenn-Air appliances, and reduce dinnertime stress."
