The most useful and interesting new items in the double boiler

The development of technology MultiSteam

MultiSteam is the most promising technology at the moment for supplying steam for cooking. It uses not only the heating of water in the pan, but also uses special steam generators. At the same time, the humidity in the cooking chamber is controlled. Steam is supplied from several points at the bottom. This approach allows us to make the processing of products more uniform and reduce water consumption. By the end of 2015, in their models, the manufacturer (the owner of the patent for MultiSteam is Miele) will increase the number of steam generating points and use nozzles to spray it.

Also, for a more uniform distribution of flows in the chamber, mechanical fans will be used, similar to those used in industrial equipment for steaming food. This approach will allow even more to reduce water consumption, and hence the amount of electricity consumed for its heating. It is worth noting that the use of nozzles implies more stringent requirements for the quality of water for steam production, therefore, it is possible that water treatment units will also be included in the design.

Microwave oven as a double boiler with new features

The combination - an oven plus a double boiler has long been known, but earlier for full-size models (with a height of niche for embedding 60 cm), simple steam processing was used. In 2015, one of the leading companies realized the concept of a full-size oven with a steamer in one of its models.

This oven has a quartz grill and is more efficient than standard heating elements. The control over the humidity in the chamber of the new kitchen machines will be carried out with the help of a specially developed system called the “sixth sense”. In the process of cooking, following the laid algorithm and information from the sensors, the processor adjusts the humidity.

Touch screen and operating system

In the design of a large kitchen appliances (for example, such as a refrigerator) touch screens have already entered firmly. With the increasing complexity of the design of steam boilers and an increase in the number of food processing regimes in them, it was necessary to simplify their management. At the moment, many kitchen machines already have touch keys, which, unlike mechanical switches, are more reliable and are not afraid of the pollution that is inevitable when cooking.

There is only one drawback: they are located in permanent places and, as a rule, are not reprogrammed. In 2015, two major manufacturers immediately solved this problem by applying an operating system similar to that used in smartphones and computers. With it, you can easily change the work program of the double boiler and update it. This approach allows everyone to optimize the steamer control to fit their needs. In addition, it will be possible to change the design of the screen and its screen saver. However, this innovation will be implemented only in the double boiler, combined with other equipment.

Yogurt maker

Philips approached the process of combining various techniques in a non-trivial way. Diary Maker HD9141, which combined a steamer and a yoghurt maker, began in Russia. Outwardly, this is the usual double boiler. However, it has six different modes of cooking yogurt, cottage cheese, cereals, and so on. The difference from the ordinary yogurt maker is that the heating is carried out using a tank of water. He is the basis of the design model.

From the double boiler - to the Internet

This principle is already widespread in multicookers and stoves. In the coming year, it will be implemented in full and in the double boilers: at least, the release of models with such an innovative approach has already been announced.The owner will not have to think about when cooking, his task will include only a simple function: bring the products and load them into the car. Having chosen the desired, you will need to choose a recipe according to which the steamer will prepare the dish, finding the necessary functions, modes, temperature and processing time. In addition, the bank of recipes stored in its memory can be constantly updated, including automatically.

Phone control

Today, the trend is that smartphones are becoming more versatile, they are used for payments, and also using bluetouth or wi-fi are used to control a variety of home appliances. But so far there has not been a single steamer that supported this possibility, although the combined devices, for example, a stove with the possibility of steaming, already have it. In 2015, the release of the first model of the double boiler, which can be controlled remotely, using applications on mobile devices is expected.
