LG announces new smart kitchen appliances with AI food recognition

LG has announced that it will be revealing various smart kitchen appliances from its Signature range at CES 2025. These are described as second-generation products, and they will be on show from January 7th.

The line-up includes the LG Signature French Door Refrigerator with T-OLED door panel. The panel can be used as a touch display or can become transparent to allow you to view the contents of your fridge without opening the door. There is an AI recipe assistant, similar to the Dish Designer tool on the upcoming Hisense smart fridge. Thanks to the ThinQ Food management system and an integrated camera, it can generate recipes and meal plans based on the food in your fridge and your pre-set preferences. Plus, the fridge is said to offer a curated playlist of music to help you relax while cooking.

For cooking, LG will introduce the Over-the-Range Microwave and Slide-in Double Oven Induction Range. The microwave is equipped with three cameras, allowing you to check on your food without letting out the heat. Plus, the company suggests that content creators could use the feature to capture timelapse footage as their dishes cook. On top of this, the microwave features a 27-in 1080p display with built-in speakers and Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to stream content in the kitchen.

Alternatively, the display can be used to control linked smart home devices. Like the fridge, the induction range is said to be able to intelligently recognise food items and suggest recipes accordingly. It is unclear how much the LG Signature French Door Refrigerator with T-OLED door panel or the Signature Over-the-Range Microwave and Slide-in Double Oven Induction Range will cost.
