Make your kitchen work for you by identifying your culinary style and choosing appliances that will enhance your dishes

We all use our kitchens in different ways, but whether you’re an ambitious cook, a fan of healthy living, or someone who is always on the go, there is an appliance to suit you; the key is knowing which features to look for.
With the help of the experts at Miele, we’ve identified three common home cooking styles; which one suits you most? Read on to learn about the best appliances for the job.

The Gourmet Chef
If you know your Béarnaise from your hollandaise, and love trying out complex new recipes, you’ll need a kitchen that is versatile enough to let you explore your passion for cooking.
Retain the flavour of your carefully chosen ingredients with a flexible steam combination oven, which uses steam and dry heat together to create the perfect environment for exceptionally tender meat, crisp loaves and moist cakes. Dishes can also be enhanced with a sous-vide vacuum sealing drawer that allows food to be steamed precisely within a sealed bag for wonderfully tender and flavourful results.
If you want complete flexibility on the hob, consider an induction model with PowerFlex Zones, which combines two areas together, perfect when using larger pans. Or go for a combiset with frying, grilling and barbecuing zones.
Private or public? When you’re planning your kitchen think about how you like to cook. Do you like to create your dishes in private? Or do you prefer to chat to guests while preparing a recipe? If it’s the latter, think about installing your hob on an island so that you can face everyone while cooking.

Busy Bees
Got a busy lifestyle, but still enjoy cooking? Organise your kitchen with helpful appliances and you will be able to eat well despite a full schedule.
Go for intelligent appliances, such as a TempControl induction hob that automatically regulates the temperature of the pan; it’ll prevent a dish from burning if the power is not turned down. A steam combination oven allows you to cook food in a number of precise ways and an automatic menu feature is useful for distracted cooks, as it will tell you when to put each ingredient in the oven so that everything is ready at the same time.
It’s also a good idea to invest in a large fridge-freezer with smart technology to keep the food fresh for longer while saving energy – this will allow you to shop ahead and store as much as possible.
Define your space. In a busy kitchen the layout is crucial. Consider having defined zones for food preparation, cooking and washing up. Choose integrated storage to keep your cook space uncluttered and organised. In a small space, think about using height for storage and stack cooking appliances vertically.

The Healthy Eater
If you like to prepare fresh, nutrient-filled dishes, there are a few handy appliances that can help.
Steam ovens are the best option for preparing food that is vitamin packed. The ingredients aren’t cooked in water, which can soak away the nutrients. Instead, they are lightly and precisely steamed at a low, consistent temperature to ensure they retain their flavour and texture.
Choose a fridge-freezer with a PerfectFresh Pro zone. This stores fresh produce such as meats, cheeses, fruits and vegetables at the ideal temperature, and features controllable humidity levels to help prevent them from drying out.
Keep it all to hand. Make it easier to create healthy meals by providing easy access to fresh ingredients. An indoor herb garden, for example is a simple way to ensure you have a constant supply of healthy seasoning options for your dishes.
