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!

Yes, that might be the optimum. However, you can also steam vegetables quite easily in a pot, and thanks to induction, it only takes 10 seconds to get the pot full of steam. Keeping food warm works for me on a low induction setting as well. For grilling, I have a contact grill stored in a drawer. Your solution is probably slightly better, but also much more expensive. As always with hobbies.

garfunkel29 Jun 2016 18:21I use my external steam cooker a lot, mostly for vegetables, pasta, and fish. It’s a pity that with mine, not all the parts that get dirty can be put in the dishwasher (which I don’t have yet).
Once I get a dishwasher, I definitely want to switch to a stainless steel steam cooker, ideally one where I can put all the necessary parts directly into the machine.
In my opinion, the biggest advantages are that you hardly have to worry about anything. Using the stacking method, everything is ready almost at the same time, and if you slightly overcook the vegetables, it hardly matters.
It’s also very quick to clean, and even easier with a dishwasher.
That’s what I find so convenient about steam cooking. The gentle cooking method itself is not my main priority.
The only reason I can think of for buying a built-in steamer instead of an external device is the amount of food you can prepare.
However, since I usually cook just for myself, occasionally for two people, and sometimes for up to four, a built-in unit seems too expensive for me.
External steamers cost around 150€ and built-in steamers are about 600€, right?
So, I was wondering what else justifies spending 600€ besides the larger capacity.
