LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- KitchenAid is previewing an addition to its connected offerings with a multi-functional Smart Display with the Google Assistant for home cooks: the KitchenAid® Smart Display. With features such as step-by-step recipe instructions, shopping lists and smart home control, all hands-free for when fingers are covered in dough, the state-of-the-art KitchenAid Smart Display will provide home cooks with a central hub to expand upon their culinary creativity.

The KitchenAid Smart Display will be a step above with innovative capabilities – including Yummly voice and visual meal planning and guided cooking functionality – offering convenient access to tools that enhance the traditional home kitchen experience.

"We want makers to have freedom in the kitchen," said Christy Hoskins, Senior Brand Manager, KitchenAid. "They should be able to find new recipes and experiment with new ingredients, flavors, and textures – all without worrying about how to clean off messy fingerprints."

The KitchenAid Smart Display will also feature a 10-inch display for easily viewing your favorite content for the kitchen and more. KitchenAid Smart Display will also be IPX-5 rated for resistance to faucet water, ensuring a worry-free cooking or baking experience and allowing kitchen creatives to fearlessly tackle multi-step recipes and easily wash and clean the device.

"The KitchenAid Smart Display will do just that, merging hands-free, interactive capabilities with unique access to Yummly recipe content and a sleek design for seamless integration in the kitchen."

The KitchenAid Smart Display with the Google Assistant will have a number of features to complement everyday activity in the kitchen, including:
