Cooking Different Foods at Once Made Simple with Miele

Busy schedules or dinner guests—mealtimes should feel effortless. With Miele’s Automatic Menu Cooking, you can prepare a full meal at once in one steam oven. Simply add each dish when prompted, and everything is ready together—perfectly cooked and served with ease.

Miele steam ovens and combination steam ovens

Full meal preparation

Cooking a complete, nutritious meal doesn’t have to mean standing over multiple pans or constantly checking the clock. With Miele steam ovens, you can prepare several components of a meal at once—all gently cooked with steam (typically around 100 °C in steam cooking mode), without flavour transfer between dishes. Automatic Menu Cooking guides you step by step, prompting you when to add each ingredient so that everything is ready together, perfectly cooked, and stress-free.

Automatic Menu Cooking explained

What is Automatic Menu Cooking?

Automatic Menu Cooking is a feature available in Miele steam ovens, combination steam ovens, and steam ovens with microwave. It lets you prepare up to three different foods at once. The oven keeps a steady temperature throughout and prompts you when to add each ingredient, so fish, potatoes or vegetables all finish together—perfectly cooked, with no flavour transfer.

How to use this programme?

Ideal for those new to steaming or looking to simplify mealtimes, Automatic Menu Cooking helps you prepare three different dishes—all ready at the same time. Select your foods from the menu on your Miele steam oven; the appliance calculates the timings and prompts you to add each item at the right moment. Dishes are steamed evenly, retaining flavour and nutrients—without the need to juggle timings.

Mix & Match explained

What is Mix & Match?¹

Mix & Match¹ – exclusive to our DGC Pro Combination Steam Oven – is Miele’s smart way to prepare or reheat full meals quickly and easily. Combine fresh or pre-cooked foods on one plate and send ideal settings from the Miele app¹—or use the control panel. It helps reduce food waste and simplify everyday cooking. 

How to use this programme?

Exclusively available on the DGC Pro Combination Steam Oven, Mix & Match¹ is designed for quick, hands-off cooking, or reheating using combi-mode. Whether you're starting with fresh ingredients or leftovers, choose from compatible ingredient combinations suggested in the Miele app¹. Not all foods can be combined, but the app intelligently recommends matching components based on cooking profiles.

These profiles describe how different foods behave during cooking—for example, how much steam they need, how quickly they heat through, or whether they benefit from a crisp finish. Once you’ve selected your ingredients and cooking finish preferences (e.g. crispy or gentle reheating), the app sends one of four optimised combi-steam programmes to your oven:  All dishes go in at the same time and cook within 20 minutes—ideal for fast, midweek meals with no guesswork.

With Mix & Match, climate adjustments happen during the process, ensuring every item is evenly cooked and finished to your liking.

Cook more all at once

With Miele steam ovens, provided steam can circulate freely around the containers, you can cook on several levels at once—without impacting cooking duration or flavour transfer. For example, you can steam salmon, green beans, and jasmine rice together—each retaining authentic flavour and texture. You could even steam your creme caramel while cooking your risotto in the same appliance, at the same time. This method is ideal for creating balanced, freshly cooked meals efficiently.

Here are two examples of dishes that can be cooked at the same time:

Speedy one-pot wonders

Combination Steam Ovens can achieve high-temperature roast-steam effects for traybakes (e.g., teriyaki chicken and broccoli), or glazed tofu and vegetables. For one-dish convenience, look to mixed-mode roasting/steaming for casseroles and traybake curries; always follow the time and temperature tables in your model’s operating instructions.

Easy-to-make bakes and desserts

From everyday snacks to dinner-party desserts, Miele ovens make baking easy and enjoyable. With multi-level baking in Fan Plus/Convection, you can prepare several trays of biscuits or pastries at once with consistent results across each level (depending on model and function).

Freezer-friendly meal ideas

Batch-cook lasagne, cottage pie, or a vegetable curry while you’re already using the oven. Cooking multiple portions saves time during the week—and with Mix & Match on supported combination ovens, reheating plated meals is simple, with a choice of crispy or gentle finish.
