Baking and Steam Cooking

A perfect range of applications

Miele built-in appliances are available as solo appliances and combination appliances. Solo appliances are only equipped with one type of function. This means that ovens, steam ovens, microwave ovens and heated drawers are each equipped with their traditional functions. Miele combination appliances are the ideal complement for a classic oven. Combining 45 cm high appliances with a 14 cm high Miele gourmet warming drawer fills a 60 x 60 cm niche perfectly. This opens up untold design and cooking opportunities. The steam combination oven is also available for a 60 x 60 cm niche. Even in small kitchens, using combination appliances has advantages. For example, you can fit the functions of oven, microwave, steam oven and drawer into a tall unit in a niche that is 120 cm high, making best use of their traditional and combination functions.
A talented all-rounder
Today's modern ovens can do much more than just create heat. They are well thought-out so that the best preparation method can be selected for each food item. Every food item has individual characteristics. Knowing them and making the most of their flavour is the true art of cooking. Therefore, an ideal oven can do everything: baking, roasting, cooking, grilling. Would you like to find out more? Detailed information regarding this appliance can be found in the chapter on "Built-in cookers and ovens".
A recipe for healthy cooking
No wonder steam cooking is becoming increasingly popular. The benefits are obvious: Food is cooked particularly gently in steam. The hot steam flows directly over the food to be cooked and surrounds it on all sides. As the food being cooked does not sit in water, nutrients are not watered down or flushed out. The natural aroma of food is even intensified. Colour and important vitamins remain intact. Would you like to find out more? See the Steam combination oven chapter for more information about this appliance.
Always ready for use
If you think that microwave ovens are really just for defrosting and reheating food, you will be impressed by what Miele appliances can do. Warming a glass of milk, making jam, melting chocolate – a Miele microwave oven can do all this and much more just in solo mode. The integrated quartz grill can brown food quickly after cooking. But you can also bake and roast in the microwave oven at any time. Would you like to find out more? See the Microwave ovens chapter for more information about this appliance.
Compact and powerful
The Speed oven intelligently combines the benefits of two powerful appliances in a single 45 cm high niche. It is a fully-fledged oven with various operating modes and a powerful microwave oven at the same time. You can use the functions separately, for example, to bake bread or cakes using the oven function or make a quick cup of hot chocolate with the microwave function. The big advantage of this appliance, however, is that both functions can be used together. You can save up to 30% of the time, depending on the dish. Four different types of operation are available for perfect cooking in combination mode:• microwave with Fan Plus for quick baking and roastingbr• Microwave with grill for rapid cooking of meat and fish, for examplebr• Microwave with fan grill for grilling steaks, rapid cooking and much morebr• Microwave with automatic roast for browning of meat with the oven function and further cooking with the microwave function.

Perfect in combination
The Miele steam combination oven fulfils all your cooking requirements. As a fully-fledged steam oven, it offers all the benefits of a solo steam oven. In addition, it is also an oven that is equipped with the wide variety of operating modes of a traditional oven. Its full prowess, however, is revealed during combi cooking - a combination of moisture and hot air, which produces perfect results particularly when baking and roasting. Increasing the humidity in the cooking compartment optimises baking and roasting results. Because bread dough, for example, is subjected to steam in the first few minutes of baking, it rises better. In contrast, moisture is introduced to meat only after it has been sealed and cooking is continued at a lower temperature. This achieves even and perfect results.
Three different functions are available for perfect meal preparation in combination mode:• Combi cooking/Fan plus to add more moisture for perfect resultsbr• Combi cooking/Conventional heat for perfect results when baking breadbr• Combi cooking/Grill for crispy fish and meat dishes with a high fat content.

Guaranteed healthy and quick food preparation
A world first for Miele: Steam oven with microwave. Steaming, cooking & reheating in one appliance in a 45 cm high niche. On the one hand, this appliance is a fully-fledged steam oven which can be used to prepare fresh food such as fish or vegetables in a very gentle manner. On the other hand, this appliance is also a fully-fledged microwave oven. The microwave function offers numerous options for everyday kitchen activities: for instance when heating up a quick cup of cocoa or milk, when quickly making a bag of popcorn for watching TV in the evening with the popcorn function, or when simply preparing tasty jams in the shortest amount of time. A combination of both of these appliance functions is not possible. Would you like to find out more? See the Speed oven chapter for more information about this appliance.
The perfect partner in your kitchen
Miele drawers can be used for a wide range of applications. The drawers not only pre-heat crockery and keep food at serving temperature; the gourmet warming drawer can also be used as a cooking appliance. As a fourth option, Miele drawers are equipped with the low temperature cooking function, which allows you to cook meat and other dishes stress-free. Although this is an unusual feature on warming drawers, Miele drawers show their full potential when cooking. They easily maintain the selected low temperature for a long time. Miele drawers - so much more. Would you like to find out more? See the chapter on Drawers for more information about this appliance.
