Acer Launches the Acerpure CHEF KV1: A Smart Steam Oven That Keeps Food Crispy Outside, Moist Inside

Dry pastries, rubbery reheated food, and unevenly cooked meals are common frustrations in the kitchen. Acer believes it has a solution with the launch of the Acerpure CHEF KV1 Smart Steam Oven in Malaysia.

Designed for modern urban homes, the compact 10L smart steam oven combines steam and baking technology to solve the classic “dry-out” problem that often happens when cooking or reheating food.

Crisp Outside, Moist Inside

At the heart of the CHEF KV1 is a precision steam injection system paired with dual quartz heating elements. This combination allows the oven to keep food tender and juicy inside while achieving a nicely browned exterior.

Whether you’re roasting chicken wings, baking pastries, or reheating yesterday’s croissant, the oven helps restore that ideal texture. Instead of turning stiff or rubbery, food comes out crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, closer to what you’d expect from a bakery or café.

Smart Cooking Without the Guesswork

To make everyday cooking easier, the CHEF KV1 comes with nine smart cooking modes, letting users prepare common dishes like pizza, toast, and baked snacks with minimal effort.

Temperature can be adjusted from 100°C to 230°C, giving the flexibility to handle everything from quick reheating to longer cooking sessions. For users who enjoy finishing dishes with a bit of colour and texture, the Caramelize mode activates the top heating element to create a golden-brown surface on dishes like gratin, cheese toast, or desserts.

Control is handled through an LED touch panel, making it easy to adjust cooking modes, temperature, and timers in just a few taps.

Built for Everyday Kitchens

Despite its compact size, the CHEF KV1 is built with durability in mind. Key components such as the boiler lid, boiler, and grill rack use 304 stainless steel, offering better resistance against rust while keeping the oven hygienic for daily use.

Wrapped in a minimalist matte white design, the oven is also intended to blend neatly into modern kitchen spaces, particularly in urban homes where counter space is limited.

Price and Launch Promotion

The Acerpure CHEF KV1 Smart Steam Oven is priced at RM799 and is available now via the Acer eStore and Acerpure official stores on Shopee and Lazada.

Early buyers get an even better deal. Customers who purchase the oven before 22 March 2026 can enjoy a special launch price of RM599, along with RM50 Touch ‘n Go eWallet credit and a free Acerpure COZY HF1 foldable high-speed cooling fan worth RM199.

For Malaysians who enjoy baking, reheating, or experimenting in the kitchen without drying out their food, the CHEF KV1 could be a handy new appliance to consider.
