The new vacuum-sealing drawer from Miele makes sous vide cooking easy and convenient for home cooks. Coupled with a Miele steam oven, the vacuum-sealing drawer makes a formidable team.
Vacuum-sealing drawers were often regarded as the domain of commercial kitchens, but now even home cooks can effectively vacuum-pack food ready for the sous vide process in a Miele steam oven.
Furthermore, vacuum sealing optimises food storage and can extend food freshness by up to three to five times. Vacuum-sealed food is ideal for freezing where it is also protected against freezer burn. And thanks to the vacuum process, the food requires less storage space.
As the latest additions to Miele’s Generation 6000 built-in appliance range, the Miele EVS 6114 and EVS 6214 Vacuum-Sealing Drawers will harmoniously complement 45 cm tall Miele steam and steam combination ovens to fit a 60cm recess. The vacuum chamber and controls are discreetly revealed when the drawer is opened.
Here, the controls can be used to set the vacuum-sealing stage and the sealing duration, to cater for different types and consistencies of food as well as varying storage requirements. To meet professional demands, the higher setting results in an almost complete vacuum.
Once food is vacuum-sealed in the Miele drawer, it is ready to transfer to a Miele steam or steam combination oven to be sous vide – cooked at low, constant temperatures for an extended time period.
As Miele steam ovens can easily be used at temperatures ranging from 40°C to 100°C and precisely maintain selected temperatures, all lend themselves to sous-vide cooking.
In fact, most Miele steam ovens have their own sous-vide operating mode, allowing slow cooking times of up to 10 hours.
Miele Vacuum-Sealing Drawers come in two different fascia design finishes. Choose from the Miele EVS 6114 in CleanSteel or the Miele EVS 6214 available in CleanSteel, Obsidian Black, Brilliant White and Mink.
All are available from Miele Chartered Agents, Miele Experience Centres and the Miele on-line shop from October 2016, each with a selling prices of $3,999.
