MChef delivers the gourmet restaurant to your home
A startup called MChef is set to deliver top-class cuisine to your home: Superior three- course menus, ready to be cooked to perfection in a customer's own Dialog oven. The gourmet- service, unique throughout the world, has started in September 2018 in Germany.
How about tatar with Scottish Loch Duart salmon for starters, with marinaded shrimps and a small salad? Followed by llet of Hereford
prime beef with jus of red wine, vegetable strips and potato truf e gratin? And tiramisu pyramid cake with berry ragout and lled Amarettini? These and a further 16 dishes, including vegetarian and vegan options and special creations for kids, are on the menu list pre- sented by Martin Eilerts, founder and CEO of MChef in Bielefeld. Miele holds a majority share in MChef.
The target audience for the new gourmet ser- vice are owners of a Dialog oven who wish to dine at home as if in their favourite restaurant and those who want to host business clients at launch break. MChef delivers individual dishes to choice as well as complete three-course menus. On request, orders can include a suitable wine or champagne, naturally at the correct temperature for serving. All dishes, artfully arranged on elegant porcelain plates, were speci cally created for the Dialog oven. Three properties above all put the MChef in good stead: that different ingredients are cooked to perfection at the same time, the superior quality achieved and its unbeatable speed; the average cooking time is 20 minutes.
Mistakes during preparation are virtually eliminated by virtue of the fact that all users need to do is to simply place the plates with the food into the Dialog oven which is then started from the MChef app with the appropriate settings. Patents have been applied for covering the packaging on porcelain and the innovative carryout container. These containers offer space for up to eight dishes, wine and champagne in up to four dif- ferent climatic zones ranging from -18°C and +18°C and keeps food fresh for up to 24 hours. Once removed from the container, menus can be stored at the appro- priate temperature for up to ve days. The transport packaging including the used crockery is picked up and returned to the supplier by a courier.
After its launch as a pilot in North Rhine-Westphal- ia in September, MChef will be rolled out across Ger- many from January 2019 onwards. Further expansion is conceivable. Miele Executive Director Axel Kniehl: “There are needs for this level of culinary service in other countries, too”. For further information: www.mchef.de
