Instead, it sends electromagnetic waves through the meat, fish or vegetable in it, and calculates the amount of energy needed to cook each ingredient - delivering the precise amount for perfect results. So, for the aforementioned trick, a piece of fish is placed inside a block of ice, but because electromagnetic waves can't "speak" to ice, it goes right through to cook the fish within. Hence it emerges steaming hot and cooked while the ice stays intact.
Cue applause and exclamations of wonder. But it's not magic - it's science, and that's why the Dialog oven is the star of Miele's biggest, single-product launch that hasn't been done in over 20 years. The oven's technology took eight long years to develop and was adapted from a delicate heating process used in organ transplant, says Dr Kniehl.
Miele linked up with the Israeli technology company that developed this heating process to develop it further "because this kind of even cooking is exactly what we look for in cooking," adds Dr Kniehl. All this while, cooking has been about applying heat to the outside of an ingredient and waiting for it to continue its way in until the whole piece of meat or fish reaches the right core temperature.
If you've ever tried to defrost a chicken in the microwave you would be well familiar with a defrosted bird that's already cooked on the outside. No, it's not a souped-up microwave. The microwave, says Dr Kniehl, uses radio frequency waves of 2.4 GHz in speed, which is why microwaved food doesn't cook evenly. The Dialog uses electromagnetic waves of around 900 MHz which is the same as the mobile phone.
At an elaborate dinner showcasing the oven's skills in Milan's Zona Tortona, much of the response has been around how this could truly revolutionise cooking the way the microwave did. It's all part and parcel of Miele's purpose of using technology to better lives but without neglecting the soul of the cooking process.
For now, there is still no price indication for the Dialog oven even in Europe, and the only hint is that it's going to be very expensive. When it will come to Singapore or Asia is another question. But if the price of Miele has generally discouraged you from filling your home with them, they hear you. A new Discovery range of Miele appliances is being launched "to make the brand accessible to a younger consumer," says Dr Kniehl.
