Cooking for pleasureA hobby for all the sensesBoth healthy and deliciousEating has become much more than a basicnecessity with preparation and presentationbeing as important and interesting as theingredients and method of cooking.With the Miele steam combi oven, you don’thave to compromise on flavour in order to eathealthily.We no longer eat just to fill ourselves up. Eatinghas become “dining”, an expression of ourlifestyle, an enjoyment, and an experience that isdifferent every time.And because the journey is as enjoyable asthe destination, the preparation of food is animportant part of the pleasure. Some people liketo cook behind closed doors, then astound theirfriends when their creations come to the table.Others prefer to cook in company and throwopen the doors of their kitchen so their friendscan enjoy the process from the start.Food also plays an important role in furtheringinternational relations. Foreign restaurants,holidays abroad and the media have broughtus closer to other food cultures and taught usto appreciate them. Cooking with steam is atradition that dates back thousands of years. Itsroots lie in China. The Chinese belief that a dishshould satisfy all the requirements of health,colour, flavour, aroma and texture is as relevantnow as it was then.As the food is not sitting in water, the goodnessdoes not leach out, and the vitamins, mineralsand trace elements that are essential to goodhealth are almost fully retained. For example,steamed food contains up to 50% more vitaminC than traditionally cooked food.The result is delicious food that requires littleor no salt or seasoning, additional spices or fat,and which retains all of its natural goodness andflavour. The steam oven is therefore ideal forpreparing light meals or baby food, as well as forthose on low-sodium diets. Taste is not sacrificedin the interests of nutrition and calorie counting;to the contrary, your steam combi oven sweepsyou away to a world of wonderful new delights.Today’s cooks are delighted by all things new,and place high value on cooking appliances thatoffer user friendly technology. A Miele steamcombi oven is an up-to-the-minute oven that hasevery feature you could wish for.9

Cooking functionsFrom the repertoire of a connoisseurSteam cookingWith a temperature range of 30 C–225 C, theMiele steam combi oven offers a wealth ofexciting possibilities.Most dishes are cooked at 100 C. Vegetables andpotatoes, soups and stews, soufflés and pulsescan be cooked without affecting colour, shape,structure and taste. Rice cooks particularly wellby this process, remaining light and fluffy.You will be amazed just what a Miele steamcombi oven is capable of! Eggs are boiled toperfection. Chocolate can be melted at 65 Cwithout burning. Preserving jars and babybottles can be disinfected at 100 C in just15 minutes – making them as clean as theywould be by traditional boiling.Desserts such as light soufflés never fail, at 40 Cyou can make yoghurt and at 30 C prove dough.If you want to really pamper your guests, youcan offer them steamed face flannels at the endof a perfect meal.Further information on the versatility of thesteam combi oven can be found at the end ofthis book, as well as in the operating instructionsfor the oven. We wish you much enjoyment asyou experiment with your appliance.Baby food can also be safely and easily preparedin the steam oven. Cooking fish on the hob inthe usual manner is not to everyone’s taste. Thisis because the fish can become dry and tough, orfall apart on serving, which spoils the enjoyment.The Miele steam combi oven offers an idealsolution. Steaming at temperatures between75 C–100 C results in perfect fish and fish filletsand tasty seafood and shellfish – a taste ofgourmet cooking at home.Poultry, meat and sausage are also easy to cookin the Miele steam combi oven. When cookedat temperatures between 85 C and 100 C,meat has a uniform and tender consistency.Even lean poultry, which can easily dry outwith conventional cooking methods, remainsdeliciously succulent.Please note that steamed meat does not brown.If you want your meat browned, we recommendcooking it with a Combination programme,where a browning stage is included either beforeor after the steaming stage.10

Menu cookingCombination cookingIn a steam combination oven you can cook on upto three shelf levels at the same time to make upa whole meal.Every type of food has its own character.Recognising an ingredient’s qualities andbringing them to the fore is the true art of thecook.You would normally select a temperature of100 C to do this. However different the foodsare, the constant fresh supply of steam ensuresthat there is no transfer of aroma or flavour.This means that you can cook sweet and heavilyspiced foods together without the risk ofcontamination. The steam ensures an evencooking result on each level, and when the ovenis full to capacity, the steam combi oven is bothmore economical and energy efficient thancooking on the hob or in the oven.This is how to serve a complete main course hotand fresh:Start with the food that takes longest to cook.During the cooking programme, you can addother foods. If, for example, your menu consistsof fish with rice and broccoli, the rice will needto be cooked for 20 minutes, the fish for 6minutes and the broccoli for 4 minutes. Therice goes into the steam combi oven first, and iscooked for 14 minutes. The fish is then placed inthe appliance, and cooked alongside the rice for2 minutes. Finally the container with thebroccoli is added, and all 3 foods cook togetherfor another 4 minutes.With the steam combi oven, success isguaranteed, and everything is ready at the sametime! Further information about cooking timesis to be found in the tables at the back of thisbook, as well as in the operating instructions.The Miele steam combi oven has highlydeveloped electronics offering optimumfunctionality and is very easy to use. Theappliance guides you intelligently through theprogramming process to ensure fast, precisesetting of the required functions.The Miele steam combi oven cooks everythingto perfection by combining steam with functionssuch as Fan plus: delicious fresh bread with aglossy crust; al dente vegetables with all theirnatural flavours; wonderfully moist fish thatmelts in the mouth; tender, juicy meat with awell browned crust, numerous side dishes andtempting puddings.The combination of steam and fan heat is notsuitable for mixtures that contain a high levelof moisture such as choux pastry and meringue.Because these types of food need to lose theirmoisture they can only be cooked using Fan plus.When combination mode is selected, there arethree things that must be programmed into theoven: Temperature (30 C–225 C) Moisture level (20%–100%) Cooking duration (1 minute – 12 hours)With Combination cooking, up to 10 cookingstages can be combined in one cooking process.11
