Outdoor Cooking Range
Miele launches its state-of-the-art Dreams Outdoor Kitchen – its first foray into the alfresco cooking market – against the backdrop of one of Australia’s most sublime locations: the Daintree.
Miele has been creating universally acclaimed appliances for more than a century, driven by the ethos of Immer Besser – Forever Better. Now, the esteemed German brand is responding to the global embrace of alfresco living by launching its first outdoor cooking range, led by the Dreams Outdoor Kitchen, which was the centrepiece of a spectacular lunch in Queensland’s Daintree, prepared by one of the country’s finest chefs, Neil Perry.
Against the backdrop of ancient, pristine rainforest, Perry created a fire-led feast for the esteemed collection of guests, including fashion designer Collette Dinnigan, the country’s first official Dreams owner. The event was a celebration of the best of Australian produce, ranging from premium meats to fresher-than-fresh seafood.
For Perry, the event showcased the modular system’s versatility and adaptability. “Outdoor cooking has traditionally involved a degree of compromise, but the Dreams Outdoor Kitchen changes that,” he says. “It brings the precision, consistency and control you’d expect from a premium indoor kitchen into an outdoor setting, giving you complete confidence to cook at the highest level.”
The kitchen combines Miele’s trademark minimalist aesthetic, unparalleled commitment to quality and cutting-edge technology to create a modular kitchen that brings new levels of elegance and ease to cooking outdoors. It is crafted from durable materials tested for demanding alfresco conditions, from cast stainless-steel burners and a double-walled stainless-steel hood to solid stainless-steel work surfaces, making it ideal for the Australian lifestyle.
Modularity is a key element. Dreams can be adapted to suit alfresco settings of varying sizes, from compact balconies to expansive decks, through a variety of components that can be flexibly combined. These include gas grills, hobs, sinks, taps, storage, drawers, shelves, corner storage, a prep station, gas bottle storage and Miele’s first outdoor refrigerator.
One outstanding feature is the Fire Pro grilling system, which provides precise control across four independently monitored grilling zones, with integrated temperature sensing to help users manage heat accurately. Other key elements include high-performance, cast-stainless-steel burners for rapid heat-up, even heat distribution across the entire cooking surface, five integrated temperature sensors and support for up to four connected food probes. Users can connect the grill to the Miele App to access status information and additional smart functions.
Safety is in-built, with a range of advanced technologies that work away quietly in the background. FlameGuard technology, the GasStop automatic safety function, GasBuddy gas cylinder fill level monitoring and food probe alerts all help to simplify cooking and provide additional peace of mind. Dreams also features a range of 60 coordinated accessories that bring additional flexibility and convenience.
