 I came across a really great deal on a 5 year old Miele combi steam oven that I couldn’t pass up. It had been a display / demo in an appliance store. Fortunately I didn’t need to completely remodel my kitchen to install it. I just removed my mid-80’s, P.O.S. 24” Modern Maid gas wall oven and the microwave shelf above it, then had an electrician run two 240V lines into the kitchen. The upper oven is an older Miele “Speed oven”, which is a fully functional convection oven, plus microwave which can cook with a combination of the two. The lower oven is the Combi Steam Oven and is also a fully functional convection oven (bake, broil, roast, etc) but can ALSO add from 0 up to 100% steam at temps up to 435°F! The things this combi steam oven is capable of is seemingly endless. Soft or hard “boiled” eggs, flan, creme brûlée (w/o a water bath), sous vide cooking, add steam while baking bread for a more crispy crust, etc, I’m still learning what can do..... it even has a “Warm damp towels” setting! The first thing I cooked (steamed) in it while it was still in my garage was lobster tails (the photos are screen shots from a video I made). The head of cauliflower was roasted @ 375°F with 60% steam for 35 mins. I am really happy with it so far and have been using it a lot! Kevin | ||

Wow
Kevin,
Congrats for the great find!! That looks like something I would love to have. Not only does it sound like the options are endless but I love the look of the oven(s). I would have to do major surgery to my cabinets to install one of those so I suspect it would be a hard sell in this household but it looks like it will be fun to have. We have the Samsung steam oven but all it does is add a little humidity it doesn't get anywhere close to the amount of steam coming out of yours.
Can't wait to see some of the other things that come out of it. | ||

Is it one of the permanently hooked in one's or one with water tanks? I do like the idea of one, one down side I see is that neither the speed ovens nor the combination steamers are self cleaning. Question as always with this is how good the Perfect Clean finish of the interiors is. Will it be as non-stick as they promise? | ||

Ralph: Thanks! And Ralph: I have wiped it out and left the door open to dry it, but it also has a drying program I’ve used that heats the oven for 20 minutes. Henrik: this one has the water reservoirs. Matt, just an FYI, The company Anova, who makes high-quality immersion circulators for sous vide cooking, just released a brand new countertop combi steam oven. If this had been available before I bought my Miele, I might have considered that as an option. Then again, I really like Miele products so maybe not. LOL

That oven makes me a little tingly!!
I am too much a gentleman to say where. :).
I love the way the control panel opens to expose the water reservoir. So many others I have seen have them to the right and having them on top seems to be a better placement because you have more room in the oven from how it looks.
Really happy for you on this great find. I'd love to have one but I know I won't in this house. Have fun with it. Can't wait to see what comes out of it. That cauliflower sure looked good. I bet a roasted chicken will be amazing. I always cook mine using convection to seal in the juices, I can only imagine what your oven will do. | ||
