The DGC HC Pro is an all-rounder, designed to meet diverse cooking needs: it suits families, couples, single households, and anyone who likes to entertain guests. Whether you're too busy to cook and want quick, easy meals, or you rely on automatic programmes for great results, this appliance delivers. It is also perfect if you enjoy preparing meals with high-quality ingredients, aim for a healthy, well-balanced diet, or love experimenting with cooking techniques.

What to consider depends on your specific situation, needs, and desires. We have outlined two likely scenarios, please consider which scenario is most applicable to you:

Scenario One: Choosing Between a DG, DGM, DGC, or a DGC HC Pro model
•    Additional cooking options: all the aforementioned oven types offer additional conventional oven programmes such as fan plus, top and bottom heat, and grilling - ideal for baking and roasting.
•    Special combination mode: The DGC HC Pro offers a unique combination mode. It allows you to create the perfect climate for baking bread and roasting meat, by adjusting the moisture level down to the exact percentage in combination with different heating elements, resulting in gourmet cooking results.
•    Automatic programmes: Benefit from automatic programmes that utilize the advantages of the combi mode, ensuring perfect results, even without extensive cooking expertise.
•    Plumbed-in option: The DGC HC Pro model offers the option for plumbing in, ensuring convenient operation.
•    HydroClean feature: Enjoy hassle-free cleaning with the HydroClean function, which automatically cleans the oven, keeping the stainless steel cavity as good as new.
•    Food probe: Achieve perfectly cooked meat every time with the food probe feature, ensuring precise cooking.
•    Flexibility: With its combination appliance design, the DGC HC Pro can be classified as a 3-in-1 appliance (oven, steamer, combi mode), offering great flexibility in the kitchen.
•    Large cavity and compatible accessories: The DGC HC Pro boasts a large cavity, and you can use the same accessories as you would with a Miele oven, including FlexiClips. Plus, the drain in the cavity floor allows condensation to flow away, reducing the need for manual wiping after steaming.

Please note: These features are specific to the DGC HC Pro model and may not apply to all models.

Scenario Two: Choosing between a DG/DGC HC Pro model in addition to, or instead of, a classic conventional oven
•    In addition to another oven (you have two niches): Pairing a DGC HC Pro with a classic oven provides an ideal combination, offering two cavities for maximum flexibility in cooking. Use the DGC HC Pro as a second oven or as a steam oven, depending on your cooking needs alongside the conventional oven.
•    Instead of a classic oven (you only have one niche): Opting for a DGC HC Pro in place of a classic oven maximises functionality. Not only does it offer oven modes, but it also serves as a fully-fledged steam oven with an excellent combination mode, delivering professional results.

Please note: The DGC HC Pro cannot steam and bake/roast simultaneously.

If you only have one niche in your kitchen, opting for a combination appliance like the DGC or DGC HC Pro makes sense. This way, you get both a steam oven and a conventional oven in one unit. However, note that you can't use the steaming and baking/roasting functions simultaneously. For maximum flexibility, we recommend planning for at least two niches in your kitchen. The DGM model can't roast or bake, so it can't replace a conventional oven. However, it can take over the role of a microwave, offering better tasting results with its steam function while still providing speedy heating when time is of the essence. If you choose a DG model and don't have a microwave, be aware that reheating takes longer, but the results are much better.

Yes, the DGC and the DGC HC Pro appliances both feature automatic programmes. The DGC HC Pro offers more automatic programmes than the DGC, providing even greater convenience and versatility.
