Introduces new food processor.

Panasonic Australia is expanding its food preparation range in time for Christmas with the introduction of a new food processor in die-cast aluminium, the MK-F800, recently unveiled at IFA.

Panasonic Australia group manager of home appliances and air-conditioning, Emile Redden said, “This latest model is in line with the Panasonic philosophy of smart appliances for fresh, healthy living, from our Inverter microwaves to our ‘Fresher than Fresh’ refrigerators.”

With the MK-F800 glass touch control, matching the design of the latest microwaves and bread maker, the user can select from five auto-menus, to chop vegetables, mince meats, drain salad, turn nuts and pulses to paste, and handle frozen ingredients, at the touch of a button.

It includes 13 versatile accessories with 33 functions from a French fry blade for creating chips to a salad spinner for making dry salad mixes, a dry mill for spices and a citrus press for juices.

The MK-F800 will retail for $549 and Panasonic will also offer an entry-level food processor in white, the MK-F300 priced at $399.

“We are also rolling-out our latest bread maker, the SD-ZB2512, in a sleek stainless steel design. Our market leading bread maker is very popular with Australians and this latest model allows families to create tasty rustic sourdough bread, artisan bread and scone bread at home,” Redden explained.

Panasonic’s range of microwaves incorporating Inverter and flatbed technologies continues to innovate with a new ‘pure steam’ model, the NN-DS596BQPQ retailing at $859, due to land in Australia before Christmas.

“The oven boasts Turbo Steam, a healthy way to cook food while preserving vitamins. It injects steam directly into the top of the oven from its highly efficient boiler. By cooking with steam food retains more nutrients and natural flavours for a quicker, healthier and more delicious meal,” he added.
