GE Profile will push the first software update of its kind today to existing owners of select WiFi-enabled ovens and ranges as a remedy for turkey perfection pressure on Thanksgiving. The company unveils its latest software upgrade – Turkey Mode – just in time for Thanksgiving.
With Turkey Mode, more than half a million owners have the ability to cook a perfectly juicy and tender turkey using their GE Appliances wall oven or range – eliminating the stress of researching recipes, adjusting the temperature and checking the progress of the bird. Led by GE Profile™, the Turkey Mode feature will be available in a total of 64 model families, including Monogram, CAFÉ, GE Profile™ and GE models for a total of 336 SKUs.
With Turkey Mode, no preheat or prep time is required so that even a novice host can cook a great turkey with minimal effort. There’s no need to brine or coat your turkey, cover it with foil, or baste it for great results. Simply follow the step-by-step instructions on the SmartHQ app or the oven’s LCD screen for how to use a meat probe and exactly where to position the oven rack. Whether the bird is 12 lbs or 20 lbs, Turkey Mode does the cook-time math and executes the perfect cooking algorithms for a juicy bird that reaches an optimal doneness at 170 degrees.
By letting the technology play sous-chef, users can spend less time frantically checking their turkey and monitor temperature in real-time through the app or LCD screen. On top of that, users with LCD screens on their appliances can set the mood for fall with customizable autumn-themed wallpapers complete with Thanksgiving facts and outdoor temperatures. Best of all, the Turkey Mode is complete with an audible “Gobble, Gobble” when the bird is ready to serve.
It works beautifully and the turkey was very good.
