Question from jameswlew
I was wondering if you could please provide me with information about the type of plastic the steam generator for the Miele and Thermador Steam Oven is made out of. I love the idea of steam oven, but was concerned about plastics and leaching. I had contacted Miele and they said the generator is made of a polymer material which meets safety standards of the foodstuffs and Consumer Goods Act. What is your opinion? Thanks.

If you have contacted the manufacturers, I can’t get any more information than that.
The Foodstuffs and Consumer Goods Act seems to be a German law. Couldn’t find a copy of it to see what is allowed.
See if you can get an exact type of plastic from Thermador.
