PR Newswire (US)
SECAUCUS, N.J., Feb. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Panasonic, a
leader in microwave technology, today announced a collaboration
with The Culinary Institute of America. This collaboration is
designed to enhance culinary support for its renowned line of
consumer microwave ovens. As part of this collaboration, The
Culinary Institute of America (CIA) will develop no-fuss gourmet
recipes for cooking with Panasonic microwaves, as well as create
key microwave cooking technique videos that will be hosted on
Panasonic's microwave "Virtual Test Kitchen" website. Developed
with an eye toward keeping the American consumer fueled with
healthy and delicious meals that are easy and quick to prepare,
these recipes will feature economical and readily available
ingredients with broad appeal. As well as providing complete
recipes for preparation in a Panasonic microwave, the CIA team,
headed by Certified Master Chefs, will also develop cooking tips
based on their experience cooking while using Panasonic's cooking
technology. "The CIA, as a leader in culinary research and
development, was a natural choice when Panasonic looked to show the
world the endless possibilities of microwave cooking," said Dan
Silver, Group Head, Home Appliance Group, Panasonic. "We conducted
a survey that showed only a third of people use their microwaves
for cooking beyond reheating. We want to change that, to show
people that microwave cooking can be easy, fun, fast and healthy.
Thanks to this collaboration, we will be able to offer consumers a
wide range of delicious contemporary recipes perfect for
preparation in a Panasonic microwave. This collaboration also shows
that we at Panasonic are committed to supporting our products
throughout their lifetime, not just up to point-of-sale. Visitors
to our website and 'Virtual Test Kitchen' can expect to find a host
of delicious and easy-to-prepare recipes. We're not just a
manufacturer, we are a resource." Panasonic's microwave ovens
feature Inverter(TM) technology, a unique capability that allows
for more even cooking. Unlike other microwave ovens, Inverter
allows for an always-on, constant energy flow at variable
intensities. Other ovens try to create lower energy levels by using
the same maximum power all the time, but repeatedly turning it on
and off. Panasonic's consistent and precise heat means more control
over cooking, reheating and defrosting with more even results and
no overcooked edges. "We are excited to collaborate with Panasonic
and conduct research and development using their microwaves," said
Ron DeSantis, Certified Master Chef and Project Director of CIA
Consulting. "This is a great opportunity to show the American
consumer that microwave cooking is about so much more than just
reheating and making popcorn -- microwave cooking is about ease of
preparation and healthy, delicious eating." In addition to
developing healthy and delicious recipes for preparation in
Panasonic microwaves, the CIA will also conduct complete
nutritional analysis with dietary information for each recipe. For
