A revolutionary new oven is set to truly transform the way food is cooked, which will be particularly handy for those who like to entertain and would rather spend their time with family and guests, instead of toiling away in a hot kitchen. Miele

The oven’s revolutionary technology was initially used on medical devices designed to support organ transplant surgery in the medical profession. ‘Transplant organs need to be very gently and evenly warmed up, without any cold or hot spots, before a transplant can take place. This high-tech technology was adjusted and brought into the kitchen via the Dialog oven, and it opens up a world of exciting possibilities in the realm of cooking,’ adds De Jager.

the Dialog oven uses radio waves to heat up the food. However, unlike a microwave oven, it also has sensors that monitor how much energy the food absorbs, and responds by adjusting the waves’ frequency, amplitude and phase accordingly. In essence, as its name implies – it both talks and listens to your food – ensuring that it is cooked evenly and quickly,’ explains De Jager.
