Combo Steam Oven

As the pioneer in steam oven technology, Miele, a leading German premium appliance manufacturer, has perfected the art of steam cooking. More than a decade ago, they became the first appliance bran to design and manufacture a residential, built-in steam oven. Building on that expertise, Miele introduces its new Combi-Steam Oven. As its name implies, this latest oven innovation combines the power of steam and convection technology into one appliance. Whether using steam, convection or combination mode, the look and taste you receive are gourmet results.

_The Combi-Steam Oven is the perfect partnering of Miele oven technology,_ said Kathrin Pfeifer, Product Manager for Miele. _We_ve combined true European convection technology which offers the best cooking environment for roasting and baking with our unique external steam generator to create an all-in-one-oven that provides the consummate cooking fusion._

All-In-One Oven

The combination mode allows you to regulate both the cooking method and temperature, but also the moisture level. By introducing moisture into the cooking process, the oven creates an environment that is ideal for both browning and searing meats, as well as baking moist cakes and breads.

Professional bread bakers utilize proof boxes because of its ability to control fermentation and rise temperatures to produce the best flavors in their loaves,_ explained Miele Home Economist, Holly Curry. _The Combi-Steam Oven not only replicates this exact process, but does it in a 1/3 of the time delivering artisan quality breads and pastries with a crisp, goldenbrown crust, without the addition of an egg wash._

Ease of Use

There are more than 100 automated programs for meats, vegetables and grains included in the oven_s food-driven menu system. Step-by-step instructions guide you through the cooking process allowing you to program the temperature, time and cooking method for both simple side dishes to gourmet meals. The Combi-Steam Oven is also equipped with five specialty Miele MasterChef Gourmet programs: Turkey, Chicken, Baby Back Ribs, Salmon and Beef Tenderloin. Unique to the Combi-Steam Oven, these programs incorporate slow cooking techniques using low cooking temperatures and longer cooking times, resulting in tender dishes.

Once cooking is complete, cleanup is quick and simple. The interior of the oven_s CleanGlass Door features a smooth, flush finish for easy cleaning, while the exterior features Miele_s signature Clean Touch Steel_ finish, which resists smudges and fingerprints. Special stability hinges also make the door a durable and stable surface to hold dishes (up to 17lbs) as you remove them from the oven.

Intelligent Design

One of the design marvels of the Combi-Steam Oven is its award winning lift-up control panel. Strategically hidden behind the panel are the water and condensate containers. A simple touch of a button automatically lifts the control panel providing easy access to replenish the water reservoir without having to open the oven door and interrupt the cooking process. Compared to the Miele Steam Oven, the new placement of the water reservoir also increases the oven_s interior capacity by 40%, providing ample space for multiple dishes or large roasts to be cooked simultaneously.

The Miele Combi-Steam Oven (DGC 4084/4086 XL) is available in both the Classic and Europa series and requires 240 V. It retails for $3,695.
