When temperatures soar during the Saudi summer, families across the city look for new ways to cook and eat more comfortably. When the weather gets hot, it's best to prepare lighter, healthier meals that don't make the kitchen too warm or leave you feeling tired and heavy. Fortunately, LG's smart ovens with ThinQ technology are revolutionizing how we cook, especially during summer. With innovative features like 100% steam cooking, Sous-Vide, Air Fry, and Wi-Fi-enabled smart controls, preparing nutritious and delicious summer meals in KSA has never been easier or more efficient. 

In this blog, we'll dive into how these advanced cooking modes and ThinQ recipes help you create lighter meals perfect for the Saudi summer without compromising taste or nutrition.

Steam Cooking: The Secret to Healthier Summer Meals 100% Steam Cooking – Locking in Nutrition and Flavour

One of the standout features of LG's smart ovens is the 100% Steam mode. This cooking method uses a dedicated steam generator that pulls water from an internal 1-litre tank and envelops your food in a gentle steam bath at temperatures between 80C and 99°C. In the heat of a Saudi summer, this is a perfect way to cook because it helps retain all the natural nutrients of your food. The steam keeps your kitchen cooler than traditional baking or roasting, and your meals come out moist, tender, and flavorful. This feature provides an easy path to healthy, summer-friendly dishes, whether you're steaming seasonal zucchini, fresh hammour (grouper fish), or preparing fluffy couscous.

Steam and Air Sous-Vide – Gourmet Results at Home

Sous-vide cooking, once a secret weapon of five-star chefs, is now available in your kitchen. This mode uses controlled steam or airflow at low temperatures over extended periods to cook vacuum-sealed food evenly and gently.

In Saudi Arabia's hot climate, eating heavy meals can be exhausting. Sous-vide allows you to prepare tender, flavorful meals like marinated chicken breasts, lamb fillets, or herb-infused vegetables without excess oil or frying. The result? Food that's rich in taste but light on the stomach, a perfect combination for summer dining. Seal your ingredients in a vacuum bag, place the bag in the oven, and let the Sous-Vide mode do the rest. This technique is excellent for preparing multiple meals ahead of time.

Adjustable Steam Levels – Custom Cooking for Every Dish

Not every meal requires the same steam intensity. That's where Steam Assist comes in, offering three adjustable steam levels—low, medium, and high. This flexibility means you can tailor the steam output based on your dish's requirements. 
For example:

●   Low steam for delicate pastries or rehydrating day-old bread. 
●   Medium steam for mixed-ingredient dishes like Saudi-style vegetable kabs. 
●   High steam for fully steamed veggies, rice, or fish.

This feature allows for precise cooking that adapts to your needs without any guessing or compromising.

Removable Built-In Water Tank – Easy and Efficient

A removable 1-litre water tank outside the oven cavity supports steam cooking. Press the tank button, remove it, and refill it, and you're ready. This makes steam cooking incredibly simple and mess-free. For busy Saudi households, this means less time spent cleaning and more time enjoying quality meals with loved ones.

Air Fry Mode – Crispy, Guilt-Free Indulgences

Everyone loves crunchy snacks. But deep frying in the middle of a Saudi summer is frustrating. That's where LG's Air Fry mode truly shines. Using high-speed hot air circulation, Air Fry delivers the crispy texture of fried foods using little to no oil. Whether you're craving French fries, hot wings, or sambousek, you can enjoy your favorite comfort foods without worrying about added calories or greasy odors lingering in your kitchen. This is a game changer for families trying to eat lighter during the summer holidays or gatherings like Eid, where food is a central feature, but health still matters.

InstaView – See What's Cooking

The InstaView feature in LG ovens lets you check on your food without opening the oven door. With just two quick knocks on the glass, the dark oven window becomes clear, instantly allowing you to see inside. This smart feature helps keep the heat and moisture inside to cook your food more evenly and efficiently. It's perfect for baking and roasting, as it prevents temperature drops caused by opening the door. InstaView adds convenience and energy efficiency to your summer cooking and makes it easier to monitor meals without interrupting the cooking process.

Pizza Mode – A Slice of Summer Fun

Nothing beats homemade pizza on a summer night, especially when cooked just right. With the Pizza cook mode, LG ovens use ProBake convection to circulate high-temperature air evenly, giving you that perfect crispy crust and melted cheese. Adjust the temperature depending on your dough's thickness, and in just minutes, you'll have a homemade pizza that rivals your favorite pizzeria in Jeddah or Riyadh. Try whole wheat crusts, fresh vegetables, or grilled chicken toppings for a lighter twist. 

Wi-Fi with LG ThinQ – Your Smart Kitchen Assistant

Modern Saudi homes are becoming more tech-savvy, and LG's integration with the ThinQ app brings that intelligence straight into your kitchen. Using Wi-Fi connectivity, the ThinQ app lets you:

● Remotely preheat your oven
