Miele H383-2 B KAT Pyrolytic Review

Overall Rating

Pyrolytic cleaning, very quick to reach temperature, very wide temperature range.

Don't bother with the telescopic rails (these are an optional extra).

The Miele H383-2 B KAT Pyrolytic oven has a wide range of temperatures - something like 50 degrees C to 250 degrees C, which is perfect for 'slow-cooking' and fast cooking roast chicken (a la Jamie Oliver's excellent recipe!). I don't use my slow cooker anymore, I just use the oven set to 95 degrees. The temperature can be set in 5 degree steps. Be aware though, that the oven turns itself off after about 12 hours, so you can't slow cook indefinitely!
The pyrolytic cleaning is fantastic, especially after using the rotisserie. Just wipe out the dust once the cleaning cycle has finished. The warm up time is also fantastic. You can put the food in from a cold start (as per the manual), and it works a treat, heating up to 180 degrees in a few minutes.
The timer is intuitive, and depending on which buttons you choose you can work forward from the current time, or set the duration and end time - it will then work out the start time.
Overall, despite the price, it is worth it. An excellent and well designed piece of equipment.
