Robo-Chefs Enter the Culinary Arena:
Move over, Gordon Ramsay, because your sous-chef might soon be made of silicon and circuits. CES showcased a wave of smart kitchen appliances powered by AI and automation, blurring the lines between human cooks and high-tech robots. Let’s take a peek:

Discover a new way to bring the delectable taste of outdoor smoking indoors with the GE Profile Smart Indoor Smoker featuring Active Smoke Filtration. This innovative appliance lets you savor the authentic flavor of wood-smoked food right from the comfort of your kitchen.
Designed to cater to your culinary desires, the indoor smoker uses the same wood pellets found in outdoor pellet grills, transforming them into a delightful wood-smoked essence. The Active Smoke Filtration system effortlessly converts the smoke into warm air, making your indoor smoking experience not only flavorful but also convenient.

The efficient Active Smoke Filtration ensures that real-wood pellet smoke is turned into warm air, allowing you to smoke a variety of foods, including meats, seafood, and vegetables, right in your kitchen.

With precision smoke control, this smoker utilizes an independent heat source for burning pellets and a separate heat source for cooking foods. This unique design ensures unmatched control over smoke and temperature, perfect for achieving your favorite smoked BBQ flavors. Adjust the taste to your liking with five different smoke settings, allowing you to experiment until you find your ideal flavor profile.
Even if you’re a novice, our indoor smoker makes it easy for you to create amazing flavor results. Six preset functions, including brisket, pork ribs, pork butt, chicken wings, chicken breast, and salmon, along with settings to keep your food warm and customizable options, provide a hassle-free smoking experience.
