MONTVALE, N.J., Aug. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- With more than 50 years of cooking heritage, Sharp Electronics Company of America (SHCA), the creator of the modern microwave drawer, today unveiled its first-ever complete kitchen suite, including its first-ever IoT-enabled appliances. The full line, including its SuperSteam™ Ovens, Induction Cooktops, Wall Ovens, Slide-in Range, Microwave Drawer™ Built-In Ovens and Over-The-Range microwave ovens, as well as Dishwashers and Refrigerators – firsts for Sharp – are on display at the Nationwide Primetime Show from August 17-20 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

"This line of kitchen appliances is rooted in Sharp's rich heritage in cooking," said Jim Sanduski, President, Sharp Electronics Marketing Company of America. "We've taken our experience in the kitchen and created the recipe for a brand-new, end-to-end kitchen solution that is both technologically advanced and beautiful."

A Taste of the Kitchen of the Future
Exhibiting in booth #1715 at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, Sharp will also offer a glimpse into the kitchen of the future via two products that are world firsts:

• The Sharp 24" IoT SuperSteam+ Built-In Oven (SSC2489DS) is a hybrid convection oven that uses convection heat and steam super-heated up to 485°F to cook; similar to a restaurant combi-oven. With five high-performance cooking modes, consumers can steam, steam bake, convection bake, super steam grill and super steam roast all their favorite dishes. The oven also features 12 preloaded Smart Cook settings, with 39 settings available in total. Additionally, the IoT SuperSteam+ Built-In Oven App is "Powered by SideChef", for step-by-step guidance and smart appliance control.
• The Sharp 24" IoT Microwave Drawer™ Built-In Oven (SMD2489ES) builds upon the brand's incredible market share and success by introducing the first, Wi-Fi-enabled, built-in Microwave Drawer™ Oven for seamless integration into your modern, smart home. Features include built-in airflow control for flush mounting, "Easy Wave Open" for quick, touchless opening, and a Sharp Kitchen mobile application for iOS and Android devices to enable the smart features.

"The entire team at Sharp Home is committed to delivering on our promise to service the dreams and desires of the home cook, and the introduction of our first-ever kitchen suite is another step in our commitment to Simply Better Living," said Peter Weedfald, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Sharp Electronics Marketing Company of America.
