No more preheating: Midea presents new graphene heating tube

Revolution in the oven: Midea showcases a graphene heating tube at the IFA 2025 that reaches 1300 °C in just 0.2 seconds. This not only reduces baking time but also saves electricity and makes preheating unnecessary. This is made possible by the extremely fast heat conduction and high heat resistance of graphene.

Superfast and energy-saving

The technology allows ovens, air fryers, and similar devices to reach target temperature with almost no lead time. Midea claims up to 49 percent less cooking time. This means that bread or roasts can be prepared significantly faster – with consistent quality.

In addition to saving time, the innovation also offers energy benefits: shorter operating times mean lower electricity consumption, which not only reduces household costs but also benefits the environment.

Graphene as the heating element of the future?

Graphene is a two-dimensional carbon, extremely thin and at the same time very stable. Its ability to quickly convert electrical energy into heat makes it ideal for use in modern kitchen appliances. Midea utilizes the high efficiency of the material to make the heating tubes more durable and powerful.

Additionally, graphene generates a strong infrared radiation, which according to the manufacturer ensures particularly even browning while retaining moisture inside. Another advantage: The heating tubes shine brighter than conventional ones – making it easier to keep an eye on the food.

Promising Trade Fair Appearance

At IFA 2025, the new technology was a highlight. However, independent practical tests are still lacking to confirm the promises in application. It is not yet known when exactly the first devices with graphene heating elements will hit the market.

What is clear: The combination of speed, energy efficiency, and improved cooking results has the potential to fundamentally change everyday kitchen life and technology standards.
