“The Dialog by Miele ‘converses’ with the food - hence the name - while a traditional microwave is only a monologue.” “The frequency of the waves is different, the effectiveness is different and the operating principle is different,” says Carlo Santeroni, a product and sales trainer at Miele. It is completely different from its cousin, the microwave oven, despite what you might think at first. It can therefore cook a dish made up of several components, such as a roast surrounded by vegetables, to perfection all at once, saving time and effort. This means that, unlike traditional ovens, which cook from the outside in, the Dialog cooks food evenly all the way through, or directs the energy to where it’s needed most. They detect the weight of the food to be cooked, automatically adjust the amount of energy released and distribute the waves as needed through the oven during the cooking process. Once the user has selected the type of food to be cooked on the touch-screen, two internal sensors direct electromagnetic waves at changing frequencies. Having debuted last September at the IFA in Berlin, the Dialog oven is a completely new approach to making food. The oven is targeted at those who only have time to cook on the weekends and want to have food ready on demand over the next few days, or for hosts who want to keep food fresh for their guests’ arrival.ĥ. A technician at the Hoover booth told us food that has been vacuum-sealed can be safely stored at this temperature for up to two weeks. It can bake but also keep food warm and fresh for prolonged periods of time, maintaining a constant temperature of 143.6☏ (62☌). The KeepHeat oven by Hoover is another crossover from the world of commercial kitchens. These can be activated either manually, by entering the weight of the food to be frozen, or automatically through a thermometer that measures the inside temperature of the food. Electrolux’s BlastChiller has three settings: soft chilling at 41☏ (5☌), hard chilling at 37.4☏ (3☌) and shock freezing at -0.4☏ (-18☌). These are now available for the domestic market.

One example is the blast chiller, which freezes food with reduced crystallization and minimal effect on its taste and texture. More and more solutions born in restaurant kitchens are making their way into our homes.
