Una revolución en la cocina

After more than fifty years of history, last year Elica unveiled a major rebranding and positioning change: from a global leader in kitchen extraction systems, it expanded its product offering for the world of cooking, revolutionizing the concept of space, enjoyment, and conviviality. Today, the kitchen is no longer just a place to prepare recipes; it has become a true creative laboratory, where design and cutting-edge technology merge to transform dishes into works of art, where every detail reflects who we are and every gesture speaks to our lifestyle. All that's left to do is choose the look that best represents us, from modern to urban, from minimalist to classic: the Elica range has the right solutions for every taste, all in the name of beauty, innovation, and practicality. Among the brand's new products, Lhov stands out, a truly revolutionary and innovative all-in-one cooking solution, so much so that it has earned numerous awards, including the prestigious Compasso d'Oro, the world's most respected design award.

Details that make the difference

There's no single definition for Lhov, as it's a new category of appliances that integrates an oven, hob, and extraction system into a single product. Designed by Fabrizio Crisà, Elica's Chief Design Officer, it combines a linear black glass aesthetic, perfect for any decor style, with high performance inspired by professional kitchens. Lhov features a powerful extraction system that, for the first time, removes odors and vapors not only from the hob but also from the oven, eliminating the annoying frontal airflow when preparing food, and eliminating hot air when opening the oven. On the hob, the ventilation system, in addition to being automatic, is also selective, activating, if necessary, only on the side where the cooking is taking place.

The oven's cavity is 30% wider than traditional ovens, improving the cooking experience. With Side by Side, you can place two trays side by side on the same shelf for complementary preparations. With All In, you can bake larger dishes, essential when the house fills with guests and portions increase. Little&Many allows you to cook small quantities of portioned food. The traditional cooking mode can also be combined with the steam mode, ideal for both lighter and healthier dishes and for preparing leavened products to perfection. The grill can also be activated for only half the cavity, saving energy. Finally, Lhov can also be set to suit the recipe you want to prepare: simply select the type of dish, indicate the quantities and cooking levels, and the oven will do everything automatically, including turning off. You can even program the desired cooking modes in sequence for worry-free proofing, baking, and gratinating. All this is possible thanks to an easy and intuitive digital display that even controls the maximum power threshold, preventing the home meter from tripping.

As for the hob, it can accommodate five powerful, combinable zones, suitable for cooking even with large pots. It also offers automatic functions inspired by the professional kitchens of great chefs: Melting Mode melts butter and chocolate without the risk of burning them; Warming Mode allows for slow cooking or keeping ready-made dishes warm; Simmering Mode allows for simmering, avoiding annoying spills; Fast Boiling ensures water boils in 10 minutes; and Tasty Fry allows oil to reach the ideal temperature for frying, halving the waiting time of traditional hobs. Welcome to the future.
