Q&A
I’m thinking of getting a steam oven but am
worried that I will only use it for fish and vegetables.
Please can you give me some other suggestions?
•
A Miele Steam Oven is a great way to gently cook delicate fish and vegetables as the
colours, aromas, tastes, textures and nutritional content will be largely retained, but it
can be used for so much more. With a temperature range of 40-100°C you can precisely
cook (within 1°C) a wide range of produce including vegetables, fish, meat, pasta, rice,
pulses and even eggs, allowing you to create individual dishes or complete meals over
three shelf levels. But it doesn’t stop there, as a Miele Steam Oven can also be used to
gently defrost frozen food, prove dough, extract juice, melt chocolate, blanch food before
freezing, reheat cooked food, make yoghurt and even sterilise baby bottles and jars.
LIFE’S A BEACH
There’s a bistro simplicity of this garden set
which make them perfect for any setting, be
it balcony or beach. The Salcombe bistro
set is priced at £149 from johnlewis.com.
•
Miele Steam Ovens also feature a dedicated Sous Vide programme for slow
cooking food in vacuum packaging but without the need for a water bath, perfect for
succulent 24-hour pulled pork. Cooking at low and consistent temperatures produces
dishes that are wonderfully tender and full of flavour with a uniform texture.
•
Vases and planters are great for displaying freshly
cut flowers or planting bulbs and houseplants and these
Lassi vases and Harinda planters are a lovely selection.
They range from £22-£40 at indiamayhome.co.uk.

6 Ice Cream,
Cambridge
Who knew an ice cream parlour could
be so stylish? Situated on the cobbled
streets of Cambridge, you might miss
this understated design haven of
golds and pastels, only for the queues
outside. Pick from plum and raspberry,
saffron and fresh rhubarb and watch
it churn away; each scoop can be
enjoyed as a sundae, in a cone or in a
milkshake. One thing is certain, with
new daily specials on the menu you
will always come back for more.

3 Ice Cream Parlours
Le Gelatiera,
London
This unique ice cream parlour nestled
in a pretty corner of Covent Garden,
is often hailed as London’s best. Pick
from over 90 flavours including their
award-winning honey, rosemary
and basil gelato. There are also
flavours such as porcini mushrooms
and blue cheese and walnuts, and
all pasteurised on site and with
all-natural, low fat ingredients. The
shop may look small but it certainly
packs a deliciously icy punch.

Automatic Programmes make Miele Steam Ovens easy to use. Simply select the
produce you are cooking and the temperature and duration that is required will be
calculated. With Automatic Menu Cooking you can combine up to three programmes for
different foods, with the temperature, timing and sequence set for you to ensure that
your meal is ready at the same time. If you are not able to eat straightaway, your food
will automatically be kept warm for 15 minutes after the programme has finished.
Gelato Gusto,
Brighton
You can’t go to Brighton without
buying an ice cream, and Gelato Gusto
is the perfect place to stop off during a
day at the beach here. The brainchild
of BAFTA award-winning director Jon
Adams, the parlour was set up four
years ago after he gave up the London
commute and trained at the University
of Gelato in Bologna. What a dream!
The perfect environment for catching
up with friends over refreshing treats,
or even indulging in dessert for one.

can I stop my whites
Q&A How
from going grey?
•
Your choice of detergent is crucial for keeping your whites bright. Make sure you
use one that contains optical brighteners or florescent whitening agents, such as
the Miele UltraPhase 2 detergent or UltraWhite Powder. These ingredients enhance
the tip of the fibre so it reacts with the UV components in daylight to keep whites
looking fresh. Never wash your whites with a detergent for colours as it will not
contain any optical brighteners or florescent whitening agents, which in turn will
lead to whites turning grey and dull. For best results, dry your whites on a washing
line as this will help the fibre tips react with the daylight to give you brighter whites. •
To ensure stains such as grass, red wine and chocolate are removed effectively
and not just faded through the use of brightening stain removal agents, use a
detergent that has a high active oxygen content. Traditionally this is only found in
washing powders. However, Miele washing machines with the TwinDos two-stage
detergent dispensing system provide optimum wash performance. Automatically
released at the most appropriate point for the best results, UltraPhase 1 removes the
general dirt and grease from clothes and has a colour inhibitor to stop colours from
fading. UltraPhase 2 is a brightening agent with a high active oxygen content, which
will keep your whites bright and fully remove stains without the need for pretreating.

Crab Pancakes with Kimchi,
Seaweed and Cucumber Salad
Method
Ingredients
For the homemade kimchi
1 Place the cabbage in a bowl with the sea salt and mix well. Set aside for one hour.
2 In the meantime, combine the chilli flakes, ginger, garlic and sugar in a bowl
and set aside until needed.
3 Rinse the salt off the cabbage and allow to drain in a sieve. Place in a large bowl
with the radishes, spring onions and the chilli mix you prepared earlier.
4 Pack the mixture into a large jar, seal and leave at room temperature overnight.
5 At this stage, the kimchi is ready. You can serve, or store in the fridge for a week.
For the homemade kimchi
1 spring cabbage, sliced
into thin strips
2 tbsp sea salt

4 Place a small frying pan on the hob and preheat with 1 tbsp of vegetable oil.
5 Take a tablespoon of the pancake mix and shape into a patty. Repeat with the
remaining mix. Place 3 or 4 patties in the frying pan. The temperature should be

smart cooking
From automated heating, temperature control and easy cleaning to delay start
and clever extraction, a Miele kitchen is as intelligent as it is functional
A
WORDS Kirsty Racki, Miele Home Economist
lways striving to develop its technology, Miele ensures its cooking
appliances offer real benefits for home cooking. From a wireless food
probe that ensures a dish is cooked to its core temperature, through to
intelligent hobs and extractors that can ‘talk’ to each other to provide
the ideal cooking environment. Over the next couple of pages, discover how Miele’s range
of features* can help enhance your time spent in the kitchen and the dishes you create...
Pre-Heating
Enjoy your cooking without having
to wait, thanks to a rapid 4-5 minute
heat up time to a temperature of 200°C.
Delay Start
Hosting a dinner party? Get your
dishes prepped and in the oven
but delay the cooking process by
setting a cooking duration and the
time you want your dish to be ready,
allowing you to get on with other
tasks before your guests arrive.
Cooking Duration Available on Miele hobs and ovens,
simply programme how long you want
a dish to be heated. Once the timer
reaches zero the heat will automatically
turn off, helping to avoid overcooking.

SMART cooking
Useable Space
The drop down door on a Miele oven can
withstand up to 25 kilos, perfect for when
you want to check on dishes in heavy cast
iron cookware or baste the Sunday roast.
The separate panes of glass in the door
are also removable for easy cleaning. Stop & Go
Preparing dishes on the hob and the
doorbell rings? Simply press one button
and all cooking zones will be reduced to the
lowest power level. When you return to
the hob simply press the button again to
reactivate the previously set power levels.
TempControl
New for 2016, the range of TempControl
induction hobs prevents a dish from being
burnt if the heat is not turned down.
Sensors detect the temperature
of the pan and the power
is then automatically
regulated to ensure
that the food being
cooked is fried at a
constant temperature,
stopping the heat from
continuing to rise as it does
on current induction hobs. Intelligent Extraction
Extraction is a crucial element of the kitchen for dedicated cooks, as it removes vapours,
grease and smells from this much loved and enjoyed space. Miele first started making
cooker hoods in the late 1960s and each one is still hand assembled at its bespoke factory
in Arnsberg, Germany to this day. Using the finest quality materials, the team takes great
pride in every product it makes; creating hoods with a minimal amount of joins and seams
for a sleek finish that is easy to clean. Miele hoods also have 10-layer metallic grease
filters, providing efficient and precise extraction that can handle a wide variety of different
environments. If you want advanced extraction technology in your kitchen, the exclusive
Miele Con@ctivity 2.0 technology enables hob to cooker hood communication. Once the hob
is switched on, the hood will be automatically activated and will proactively adjust the
power and lighting to create the ideal cooking environment that is free from grease, smells
and vapours. Once the hob is switched off the hood will also turn off automatically.
MoisturePlus
Increase the humidity in
your oven by adding
one, two or three timed
bursts of steam for
succulent meats,
perfectly risen
Yorkshire puddings
and homemade bread
with a great crumb
and crust.
Wireless Food Probe
This handy tool can be used for a
wide variety of foods. Simply insert it into
food during cooking and it will monitor
the core temperature and wirelessly
communicate with the oven so that the
process is stopped when the desired
temperature has been reached. The core
temperature is important as it reflects the
extent to which the food is cooked, making
it perfect when preparing roasts as it lets
you decide whether you would like your
meat to be rare, medium or well done. It is
also handy for reheating large portions of
food such as a lasagne, as it reduces the
risk of removing the food from the oven
before it is heated all the way through.
Automatic Programmes
Simply select the produce you are cooking
from over 100 options for bread, cakes or
meat and the temperature and duration
that is required will be calculated for you.
Menu Cooking
Combine up to three Automatic Programmes
for different foods, with the temperature,
timing and sequence set for you to ensure
that the components of your meal are
ready at the same time. If you are not
able to eat straightaway, your food
will automatically be kept warm for 15
minutes after the programme has finished
(Steam and Combi Steam Ovens).
Hassle-Free Cleaning
Let an automatic pyrolytic cleaning process
clean your oven so you don’t have to. Residue
in the oven is incinerated to ash at a very
high temperature so there is no need to use
abrasive cleaners or spend hours scrubbing.
Many components in a Miele oven such as
baking trays and roasting racks benefit from
an exclusive patented finish with unique nonstick properties, making cleaning a breeze.

Bursting with
FLAVOUR
F
Summer cooking with Miele’s
executive chef Sven-Hanson Britt
or me, the smell of summer is tomatoes. Brushing past a
vine in the garden gives off an aroma that never fails to take
me back to my childhood and to my grandparents’ vegetable
patch. I absolutely love fresh tomatoes - the variety, colours and
flavours are just amazing. British tomatoes are also second to
none, which is another thing I love about them, as we don’t have
to rely on imports to enjoy this beautiful fruit at its very best.
I’ve been known to harvest my tomatoes
well into September, but I find the main
crop will be ready in July and August. I
am developing a dish that uses beautiful
tomatoes and conveys all the emotions
and aromas of brushing past a vine on
a summer’s evening. It’s still a work in
progress but I will succeed with it soon.
A dish that I love to cook is Roast Rack
of Lamb, with Heritage Tomatoes and
Swaledale (pictured). Spring lamb has
reached a perfect age in late summer and
early autumn, and it pairs really well with
the acidic sweetness of the tomatoes.
I always cook the lamb at a reasonably
gentle temperature in the oven, in this
case 175°C for about 10 minutes. The
saltiness of Swaledale cheese and the
richness of the lamb kidneys, some
fine olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh basil
finish this fragrant dish off perfectly.
In the recipe section of this magazine,
you will find a great way of cooking rump
of lamb, which is a delicious cut with a
wonderful flavour. We have vacuum
packed the rump in the new Miele Sous
Vide Vacuum Sealing Drawer and
steamed it gently in a Miele steam oven
to ensure its tenderness. This is a great
example of how the different features of
Miele ovens can help you turn varying
cuts into a gastronomic delight.
There is another item that people often
overlook as being seasonal, and that’s
cheese. To make the most of the milk that
is produced during the outdoor grazing
season, I must recommend soft, fresh
cheeses for the summer such as
mozzarella, ricotta and fresh curds.
During this season, the flavours of these
cheeses will contain special nuances that
won’t be there during the winter when
silage fed or frozen milk is used. Even 12
month aged cheddar will potentially be
better in the summer, having delicious
grassy notes that can only be achieved
with milk from that time of year.
I think I have mentioned before how
lucky we are to have four seasons, and
how that means we can have a huge
diversity of produce to stock in our
larders throughout the year. But there is
one thing no one can be sure of, and that
is how long the British summer will be.
So make the most of it, eat some
tomatoes and lamb and enjoy fresh
peaches and strawberries before the rain
sets in. And next time you’re buying
cheese, just ponder for a few seconds
about when that milk was produced,
it makes it all the more special to
experience a proper, delicious cheese.
