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.
OUR TOP 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. 6icecream.co.uk
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.

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!

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.

For the triple cooked chips
• 4 large floury potatoes
(ideally Maris Piper), cut into chunky chips 1l vegetable oil Salt and pepper
• •
Serves 4 (with extra rolls for next time!)
For the lobster salad 1 Place the lobster in the freezer for two hours before cooking. Then, having made sure that the lobster is no longer moving, push the tip of a large, sharp knife through the centre of the cross on it’s head to dispatch it in the most humane way. 2 Place the lobster in a perforated container and steam at 100°c for 10 minutes. 3 When the lobster is cool enough to handle, remove all of the meat. 4 Mash the avocado and combine it with the mayonnaise, lime juice, tabasco, salt, pepper and finally the lobster flesh. 5 Fill the rolls with the lobster salad and serve straight away. For the triple cooked chips 1 Place the cut potatoes on a perforated steam container and cook on 100°C for 7 minutes. Roughly shake the potatoes taking care not to break them and allow to cool slightly. 2 Heat the vegetable oil over a high heat in a saucepan large enough to fit all of the potatoes. When the oil reaches 150°c, fry the chips for 5 minutes until a light golden colour. Dry thoroughly on kitchen paper and leave to cool. 3 Heat the oil again, this time to 180°c and fry the chips until golden and crispy. Drain once again and season. Serve immediately’.

Buyer’s Guide 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. 32 The Miele MAGAZINE – miele.co.uk/cookingcourses

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. *Appliance features vary depending on model.

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.
