What is a steam oven?
Like its name suggests, a steam oven uses steam to cook your food. This happens when water is placed inside a tank in the oven, generates steam, which is then circulated around the cavity. While you can get full-steam ovens that only cook food using steam, a combi or multifunction steam oven offers the best of both worlds. It’s a great choice if you haven’t cooked using a steam oven before as it gives you greater flexibility and allows you to easily switch between conventional and steam cooking functions.
Quick and convenient
While not quite as speedy as microwaves, multifunction steam ovens can even cook food faster than conventional ovens, making them ideal if you need to rustle up delicious dishes quickly. Another benefit of steam cooking is that it avoids transfer of food flavours so you can cook different types of food at the same time without the odours going from one dish to another. Not only can this save you precious time, but it can also help to reduce your energy use and consequently your utility bills, too.
A multifunction steam oven is also ideal if you’re looking to cut back on food wastage and make the most of your leftovers as the steam will add moisture, allowing you to reheat food without drying it out.
You may also find it easier to wipe away spills when you’ve used a steam function as the added moisture can prevent them from drying onto the inside of your oven, which is definitely a bonus!
Health and nutritional benefits of steam ovens
One of the main advantages of steam cooking is the many health benefits associated with it as a steam oven can help to preserve the natural nutritional value of food. In fact, when steamed, food retains up to 42% more vitamins while its flavours remain, and fats are significantly reduced. You’ll also find that you don’t need to add extra fat such as oil as the steam will stop the food from drying out, which is handy if you’re trying to reduce your calorie or fat intake.
What food can you cook in a steam oven?
If you think steaming is only good for vegetables, think again! You can actually cook most things in your multifunction steam oven from meat and fish to bread, cakes, pies, pizza and pasta - the list is endless! A steam oven will help to lock in the flavour and texture of your food too, making your culinary creations look and taste even better.
