Induction

Although they look fairly similar to a ceramic cooktop, it’s the way they work that’s unique. Each ‘cooking zone’ (induction coil) on the cooktop generates a magnetic field that induces heat in steel cookware placed on top of it. In essence the saucepan or pot becomes the element, so the cooktop surface doesn't get as hot as other cooktops.

Because most of the heat and energy are produced in the saucepan itself, the heat response is quicker and more efficient. With more conventional electrical cooking, the heat first has to be transferred from the element, through the ceramic and then to the saucepan and its contents.

Cooking results on induction cooktops are exceptional and their performance is fast and efficient. The power settings range from very low to very high and change almost instantaneously when you adjust them. Once you’re used to the different power settings you will achieve excellent cooking results.

Steaming

Welcome To The New Steam Age.
Today’s busy lifestyles mean that eating habits revolve around speed and convenience, it’s therefore often much easier to opt for those fast food alternatives.
It is scientifically proven that steam cooking is the healthiest way to prepare a meal as up to 50% fewer vitamins and minerals are lost during the cooking process. The food retains its natural colour so it looks as good on the plate as it tastes, and gives you the opportunity to enjoy the full flavour of your meal.
Cooking times are shorter as there is no dry heat or oxygen in the oven cavity. What’s more, steam cooking has never been so easy to use with a simple turn of an electronic dial to selecting cooking times and temperatures, plus programmable cooking times with automatic switch off.
An added bonus is that it’s virtually impossible to overcook or burn the food, delivering simple yet guaranteed success every time.

Pressure Cooking

Pressure cookers are making a serious comeback, and today's "second generation" pressure cookers are stylish, safe and far more efficient. These new modern pressure cookers include several pressure settings and multiple pressure safety release systems making them 100% safe. The new stainless steel pressure cookers, with the thick aluminium 3-ply ‘sandwich' base, prevent burning hot spots through efficient heat distribution and with the improved vent and pressure release systems, make them easier than ever to use.
Pressure cookers have been around for about 100 years but many cooks are only now discovering the many advantages offered by cooking under pressure. Today's pressure cookers have advanced pressure regulating systems, eliminating the need for a lot of water while cooking, and because pressure cooked foods require less cooking liquid, water soluble vitamins and minerals are retained and vegetables retain more flavour and colour. Pressure cooked food is always succulent, tender and full of flavour and pressure cooking tenderises the toughest meats.

Because food cooks at a much faster rate, a pressure cooker means less energy is needed and therefore less heat is generated (a definite plus in the hot weather). Kitchens and apartments are certainly less affected by cooking smells. In fact, modern pressure cookers save around 60% - 70% of cooking time and thus offer a substantial saving in both time and costs.

In today's world, where you are faced with busy schedules, demanding jobs and family commitments and too little time, the pressure cooker is the perfect solution for fast, delicious, nutritious and economical home-cooked meals. You'll find that there is no end to the variety of dishes you can cook. Because of the versatility of a pressure cooker it also makes an ideal companion for camping, caravanning and boating and you will quickly realise that the pressure cooker is the ideal partner in the kitchen.

If you are looking for a piece of cookware that is fast, easy to use and healthy, nothing can compare to a pressure cooker. So whether you are a novice who wants to start pressure cooking or you just want to upgrade that old model that you may have inherited, now is the time to buy a new pressure cooker.

Dehydrating

Dry and preserve food the natural way, quickly and economically, while retaining all the nutrients, natural colour and original flavours. We are able to provide you with expert knowledge about food dehydrators and how to best use them to dry various produce.

Vacuum sealing

Retain freshness and flavour up to 5 times longer by removing over 70% of the air, which in turn reduces oxidisation, prevents freezer burn and also prevents microbes like bacteria & mould from ruining your food. It's perfect for fresh foods, vacuum packing only takes a couple of minutes! Once you have placed the bag over the vacuum chamber & locked the lid down, air is quickly drawn out & expelled via a powerful pump. Once optimum vacuum is reached (approximately 73%), the bag is then automatically sealed using a non-stick coated heating strip.

Coffee Making

A coffee lover’s dream is having the perfect cup of coffee available whenever you want it. Whether it’s a wake up shot of strong espresso, a creamy after lunch cappuccino, or a decaf to end the day, at deStudi with our new coffee machines you can have it all.

The Nespresso system

Miele have a long association with premium coffee manufacturer Nespresso to create a series of automatic coffee makers. Nespresso offers twelve different types of top quality coffee, hermetically sealed in capsules for optimum freshness. The machine can store twenty capsules of five different blends, and the profiles of up to ten regular users can be programmed in to call up their favourite coffee at the press of a button. Miele produce the world’s only built-in Nespresso machine.

Freshly ground coffee every time

For the ultimate in coffee convenience these unique built in coffee makers come either with a water tank or ready for plumbing into the household water supply and have storage tanks for the coffee beans and chilled milk, so coffee production is truly automatic. Just place your cup under the spout, tell the machine what type of coffee you’d like, and away it goes! Even choosing something as complicated as a latte macchiato is not a challenge for this machine – the whole drink with its different layers can be produced by the press of one button.

The beans are ground freshly for every cup and the dynamic brewing unit ensures that the aromas are fully developed. The Miele exclusive insulated milk flask keeps milk fresh for up to 12 hours, and the machine produces perfect foam every time. Here, too, you can store ten different coffee drinkers’ profiles and their individual tastes for even easier programming.
