From an elegant new kitchen product line that redefines stylish design and powerful performance, to a long-term partnership with the world\u2019s premier culinary college, to a major presence this weekend at one of the nation\u2019s largest consumer culinary events, Samsung is providing people with new ways to enjoy and connect with cooking in the kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSamsung\u2019s mission is to excite people and provide them with smart ways to achieve culinary excellence in the kitchen. This is especially true during the holidays, when cooking and entertaining take center stage and people want to show off their culinary skills in new ways,\u201d said<strong> John Herrington, Senior Vice President, General Manager of Home Appliances, Samsung Electronics America<\/strong>. \u201cThis year, we are delivering stylish new product innovations, strategic partnerships, and hands-on cooking experiences that will transform the holiday entertaining experience while inspiring a new generation of home cooks.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Black Stainless, Innovative and Thoroughly Elegant<\/h4>\n<p>From the black tie, to the little black dress, to the black stretch limousine, nothing encapsulates sophistication and simplicity more than black. And now Samsung is bringing a new level of elegance into the kitchen with the <strong>Black Stainless Steel Collection<\/strong>, a suite of premium products which offer the perfect combination of stylish design and smart innovations. The products \u2013 the <strong>4-Door Flex\u2122 Refrigerator<\/strong>, the <strong>Flex Duo\u2122 Range with Dual Door<\/strong>, the <strong>Top Control Dishwasher with WaterWall\u2122 Technology<\/strong>, and the <strong>Over the Range Microwave<\/strong> \u2013 offer unparalleled performance and flexibility in storing, preserving, cooking and heating up food, while making the post-dinner clean-up easier and more convenient than ever.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s most notable about the collection from a design standpoint is how, with its sophisticated black stainless color scheme, it instantly transforms and enhances the look of any kitchen. Black Stainless Steel products are also finger print resistant, which any home cook with kids who constantly touch and smudge the appliances will appreciate. And they all feature a magnetic surface, so you can display holiday cards or gift reminders on the front of the refrigerator to keep you on-track during the busy holiday season.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the Black Stainless Steel Collection, Samsung is also introducing another new product innovation just in time for the holidays. The <strong>Chef Collection Slide-in Dual Fuel Range <\/strong>combines award-winning Flex Duo\u2122 technology with a combination gas cooktop and electric oven, creating a highly-precise and singular new cooking experience.<\/p>\n<p>The Black Stainless Steel Collection and the Chef Collection Slide-in Dual Fuel Range are available starting this month.<\/p>\n<h4>Building the Kitchen of the Future with The Culinary Institute of America<\/h4>\n<p>Samsung and The Culinary Institute of America (CIA), which have long shared a common global commitment to culinary innovation and education, are embarking on a five-year multi-faceted partnership dedicated to engaging and exciting tomorrow\u2019s most talented chefs.
