Haute Cuisine with Elica YouChef

The spaces of the modern kitchen become workshops of aesthetic and technological innovation with Elica YouChef, which brings the qualities of a professional kitchen into the family environment

In the modern home, the kitchen becomes a multifunctional hub that enhances the lifestyle of its inhabitants. Meticulously designed, it offers culinary experiences comparable to those of a professional chef, with design as a priority, weaving together conviviality and functionality. At the heart of this transformation is the pursuit of quality living, which includes creating open and fluid spaces, made efficient by advanced and aesthetically pleasing solutions.

In this context, appliances evolve to become the protagonists of the kitchen, offering high performance that allows you to replicate at home the results of Michelin-starred chefs and the challenges faced by MasterChef contestants. Through advanced technologies and captivating design, the kitchen transforms into a stage where anyone can experiment and aspire to high-class culinary creations. Elica makes these experiences accessible, amplifying the passion for cooking and allowing for the exploration of new culinary frontiers.

The Lhov™ represents an advanced device that combines oven, hob, and integrated exhaust system, an ideal synthesis of functionality and design. Elica has received the prestigious Compasso d’Oro ADI award precisely because of this innovation, which attests to the excellence of design capable of transforming everyday actions into unique sensory experiences. Designed by Fabrizio Crisà, Chief Design Officer of Elica, Lhov is an expression of authenticity, beauty, and functionality, hallmark traits of the brand. The refined black glass aesthetic integrates with high performance and a design free of knobs and handles. Its compact dimensions, 90×36 cm, make it suitable for any kitchen layout, optimizing space usage.

With an efficient aspiration system, Lhov eliminates smoke and vapors from both the hob and, for the first time, the oven. The five cooking zones activate automatically, equipped with functions like melting to melt butter and chocolate without the risk of burning, warming to keep food warm and for slow cooking preparations, and simmering to prevent liquid spillovers. The bridge function allows for extending the cooking surface, accommodating large pots. It also integrates the possibility of combined cooking with the oven, guiding the user for optimal culinary results, offering the advantage of having a cavity 30% larger than a traditional oven.
