Hello everyone,
We are currently in the decision-making phase for the appliances for our future Schüller country-style kitchen, and we are still quite undecided, especially on this point.
Range hood:
Visually, a retro-style range hood would probably fit best. However, these are usually quite expensive (for example, from Smeg). At the moment, we have planned for an AEG X68163BV10. However, this does not seem to be the best option in this price range. Does anyone have suggestions?
Refrigerator:
For aesthetic reasons, we chose the Geronje ONRK193C. Is it any good? (It costs around 1,100 EUR — we will not buy this together with the kitchen.)
Oven:
For the oven, it was important to us that it has as little stainless steel as possible (we don’t like that) and includes a pyrolytic self-cleaning function. We narrowed it down to three models (Siemens, Bosch, and Neff). Among these, the following Siemens model was the favorite regarding price/performance: Siemens iQ700 HB678GBS6.
Cooktop (Induction):
We are still uncertain here. Currently, the AEG HK6542H1FB cooktop is planned. However, this also doesn’t seem to be the best choice for the price. Perhaps you have better suggestions? But please nothing much more expensive.
Dishwasher:
For the dishwasher, a Neff GX665 (S52P65X0EU) was recommended to us. However, I have read online that models with zeolite technology are also popular right now. With Siemens/Bosch, there are many reports of problems (error code "E31") online... So we are also quite unsure here.
We are really looking forward to your help and tips.
Thank you very much!

That depends a bit on the bread. If you bake with just yeast, it tends to go stale quickly (I would really only recommend fresh rolls for that) – we have now been experimenting with sourdough, which keeps well for about 3-5 days; it even got better over time (my wife says it was perfect on the third day).
A bread machine is messy and uses a lot of electricity.
In general, I enjoy baking myself because you can control what goes into it – for example, we mill our own flour and only add yeast, salt, water, and a dash of honey.

I have been considering getting a bread maker for some time.I wouldn’t recommend it: I had one once, and it was a nightmare in terms of noise, plus the finished bread had an unpleasant shape with a hole inside and no proper crust.
What I ended up using it for was mixing the dough and letting it rise, then baking the bread in the oven.
Get yourself a good stand mixer that can knead the dough for longer than you can, let it rise on a hot water bottle or by the window in the sun (or on the floor near the underfloor heating manifold).
This way, you can also bake smaller loaves.
I am not a fan of the Thermomix — but if you have one, you can probably use it well for proofing the dough as well.

Hot water bottle – thanks for the tip! I’ve been placing it by the window now, but I’m afraid it hasn’t reached 30°C (86°F) there.When you first leave, you can also set the oven to 45°C (113°F) and wedge a pot holder in the gap under the door. However, the oven will need to be preheated at some point anyway.

So far, I only have a standalone device, unfortunately also made of plastic. But it was good enough to get started with steam cooking. I’m considering getting either a stainless steel one, also standalone, or maybe a built-in steam oven.
What are the advantages of a built-in steam oven?
