Samsung объявил о запуске новейшей линейки холодильников серии Curd Maestro™, которая специально разработана для индийского рынка. Это первые в мире холодильники, которые позволяют изготавливать качественный творог в домашних условиях.
В официальном пресс-релизе (см. ниже) отмечается, что холодильники Samsung занимают 1-е место в этой крупнейшей стране Южной Азии. Чтобы удерживать ведущие позиции во второй по количеству населения стране мира, южнокорейский техногигант старается выпускать эксклюзивные девайсы, ориентированные на местные запросы.
Творог является одним из важнейших продуктов при изготовлении многих блюд индийской кухни, так что отношение к этому продукту здесь особое. Именно поэтому в рамках национальной программы "Make for India", провозглашённой правительством страны несколько лет назад, инженеры Samsung разработали уникальные модели, ориентированные на потребности индийцев.
Для того, чтобы получить оптимальный результат, замес компонентов творожной массы нужно осуществить вручную, а уже внутри специальной камеры, установленной в холодильнике, будет происходить самый важный процесс - ферментация.
Интересно, что холодильники с логотипом Curd Maestro™ позволяют изготавливать различные сорта творога (например, мягий и густой), а время приготовления колеблется в пределах 5-6 часов.
Линейка Curd Maestro™ включает 4 модели с объёмом холодильных камер 244, 265, 314 и 336 литров. Стоимость таких девайсов находится в ценовом диапазоне от 17,990 до 45,990 индийских рупий.
Samsung Launches Curd Maestro™, World’s First Refrigerator That Prepares Curd, Introduces its 2020 Refrigerator Line-up
The new range of refrigerators by Samsung provide meaningful ‘Make for India’ innovations that not only offer more storage space but are engineered to consume less energy
Samsung, India’s biggest and most trusted consumer electronics and smartphones brand, today announced the launch of the Curd Maestro™ Refrigerator, the world’s first refrigerator that will not just preserve food but also prepare it.
For generations, curd has been an essential condiment paired with varied Indian recipes across geographies; but curd preparation is demanding. Curd Maestro™, Samsung’s Make for India innovation, is resultant of the company’s deep understanding of Indian consumers’ needs over the years, and addresses the pain points of daily curd making. National Dairy Research Institute (NDRI) has tested and recommended the process of curd making in Samsung’s Curd Maestro™.
Samsung, India’s No.1 refrigerator brand, also introduced India’s First Frost Free Refrigerator with Base Stand Drawer, in which you can store onions and potatoes, and India’s first five-star Direct Cool Single Door Refrigerator lineup based on new 2020 Star Ratings. These new meaningful innovations are part of Samsung India’s ‘Make for India’ initiative based on consumer feedback and insight.
“At Samsung we believe in meaningful innovations that transform lives of people. Convenience, storage space and energy efficiency are the key features consumers look for in a refrigerator, and our 2020 range addresses all these needs. We are confident the new range of refrigerators will further strengthen our market leadership in the refrigerator category,” said Raju Pullan, Senior Vice President, Consumer Electronics Business, Samsung India.
2020 Refrigerator Line-up
Curd Maestro™: Innovation for Everyday Home
Curd Maestro™ refrigerator transcends the conventional refrigerator landscape in India beyond food storage and food preservation. Curd Maestro™ addresses the problems of curd making which are complex, time taking, and tricky, yet an essential food ingredient in an Indian household.
Curd Maestro™ refrigerator ensures that nothing comes in the way of you and your precious family time; enabling curd preparation in five to six hours — five hours for soft curd, six hours for thick curd. One needs to boil and cool the milk and mix the curd culture manually while Curd Maestro™ does the most crucial part of the job — fermentation. It will not only ferment the curd but will store it too.
Curd Maestro™ makes curd with the same consistency each time and eliminates all the hassle of curd making in different weather conditions.
Curd Maestro™ refrigerators come with Samsung’s Smart Convertible 5 in 1 Twin Cooling technology and will be available in 244-litre, 265-litre, 314-litre and 336-litre capacities.
Smart Convertible 5in1 Twin Cooling refrigerators come with five modes — Normal, Extra Shopping, Vacation, Seasonal, and Home Alone. The conversion modes are not only the perfect solution to different storage needs but every mode also saves energy. Twin Cooling Plus™ is a truly independent cooling system, with separate airflows in both the fridge and freezer, preventing unpleasant smells from foods moving between the fridge and freezer.
Efficient Space, Design and Technology: Innovation catering to consumer needs
Frost Free Refrigerator with Base Stand Drawer
The latest line-up has been uniquely designed for extra capacity. Consumers can now store non-perishable vegetables in the Base Stand Drawer. This drawer gives the refrigerator a tall boy design preferred by Indian consumers.
