Celebrity chefs use Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances

A combination of food preservation know-how from Sub-Zero and cooking technology from Wolf has resulted in a range of energy-efficient kitchen appliances that are used by celebrity chefs.

Sub-Zero and Wolf's brand ambassadors include James Martin, Galton Blackiston, Antony Worrall Thompson, Aldo Zilli, Thomasina Miers and Simon Rimmer as well as celebrity chef clients Gordon Ramsay, Michel Roux Junior, Gary Rhodes, John Torode and Matt Tebbutt.

After winning the BBC's 'Masterchef' in 2005, Miers opened the Mexican street food cantina Wahaca in London.

Her bespoke kitchen in her new home includes a Sub-Zero PRO48 refrigerator/freezer, a Wolf streamline E Series built-in double oven and warming drawer, integrated cooktops and sleek ventilation to eliminate smoke and odours, all from Wolf.

Miers said: 'My Sub-Zero refrigerator keeps fruits and vegetables fresh for about a week longer than in my old fridge.

'The freezer allows me to see exactly what I've got stored away so that I can always whip something out if I suddenly have people coming over and the ice machine is made for throwing parties,' she added.

Martin, meanwhile, presents the BBC's 'Saturday Kitchen' along with other cookery shows.

His kitchen at home includes Sub-Zero's PRO48 refrigerator/freezer, a wine preservation unit, a sleek built-in oven and the Dual Fuel from Wolf.

Martin said: 'I chose the Dual Fuel Range with the charbroiler and griddle as it gives me the best of both worlds, with gas hobs for excellent temperature control and a dual convection electric oven.

'The fact that there are eight cooking modes, which provide four different heat sources within the same oven, also greatly attracted me.

'This function means I can roast, proof bread and griddle using the same appliance.

'It also reduces cooking time and gives even browning without drying out the food,' he added.

Blackiston, who uses fresh, locally sourced ingredients, has appeared on 'The Great British Menu' on BBC 2.

Ho cooks on Wolf's steamer and fryer cooktops and on the gas cooktop at home.

Blackiston also houses his wine collections at Morston Hall and at home in Sub-Zero's wine preservation units.

He said: 'My favourite appliance is the CT36G five burner gas cooktop from Wolf because it is uncomplicated and easy to use.

'It is really simple to fire up and offers the most precise temperature control due to dual-stacked, sealed burners, which allow you to alternate between different temperatures,' added Blackiston.

Worrall Thompson has presented the BBC's 'Saturday Kitchen' and has appeared as a guest chef on 'Ready Steady Cook'.

His homes in the UK and Spain include a range of Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, including wine preservation units, refrigerators/freezers, a built-in double oven and a gas rangetop.

According to Worrall Thompson, the Sub-Zero fridge/freezer unit offers excellent performance in terms of size and configuration.

'With other brands, there is an exchange of air between the fridge and freezer, meaning humidity levels are low, which can dry out food.

'My Sub-Zero model keeps the air in each compartment separate, preserving all food, especially fruit and vegetables, for longer,' he said.
