Having had a chance to reflect on the day me and and Paul had at Neff the other week – Neff day Pt.1 – it occurred to me that there was a lot I missed out in my Blog.  So I thought I’d do a Part 2.

It was on talking to Paul,  he reminded me of some of the more subtle features in the Neff range.

A central control knob identifies Electronic thermostats

Take the Thermostats for example.  Did you know that the acceptable variation in an oven thermostat is +/- 15 degree’s Celcius!  Thats a hell of a difference if you are cooking at a set Temperature.  Imagine baking on 180,  only for the oven to be 195 degrees!  Thats not very good is it.

Well,  all Neff ovens with a manual thermostat,  have a variation of between 5 and 10 degrees.  About as accurate as is possible with current technology,  but certainly better than 15 degrees.

However,  if you are a big cook,  the Electronic control models have an Electronic thermostat.

What does that mean?  It means EXACT temperatures.  If you set the oven to 180,  its will stay at 180.  Incredibly useful when cooking complex dishes that require precision.  you’ll find this feature on all Series 3 models and above.

A side effect of the electronic controls are features that use much lower tempratures.  Such as Dough proving.  Because the oven can maintain a very low temperature,  it can provide a warm,  damp environment,  ideal for proving dough.  Once proven,  swith to bread Baking mode and get perfectly made bread.  Never use a bread maker again!

No shadows cast, unlike a normal oven light

Another item I forgot about was “Neff Light”  If you think about it,  where is your oven light?  At the top?  At the side?  Not the best position really,  considering you look into the oven through the door.  So,  Neff have another  innovation.  Neff Light.

Using a Periscope effect,  they have developed a method of illumitating the oven through the door.  Two Halogen lights are positioned on the front of the oven,  and shine into the door.  Mirros channel this light up the door,  and fire it back into the oven cavtiy.  The result?  A bright,  well lit oven,  helping you monitor the progress of your dishes without opening the door.  Couple this to the fact Circotherm ovens stay a lot cleaner than normal ovens and you end up with a very usefull feature.

Another feature was the Circotherm instensive.  Ideal for cooking Pizza and Pastry,  this mode provided normal circotherm cooking,  coupled with an intensive bottom heat,  which cooks the base of the item quicker than the top.  Ideal for crispy Pizza’s and  cooking pastry without the need for blind baking.  Mmmm Lemon Meruange pie!

The Neff range is so innovative,  without being over complicated or intimidating,  It would take all day to list the Features.  So,  you know what your best bet is…
