A steam oven lets you steam cook a wide variety of flavourful and healthy dishes. Some models also have a heating element for traditional cooking and baking. Look forward to efficient, nutrient-dense meals.
Whichever you choose, our steam ovens are made of high-quality stainless steel. Easily remove and fill the water tank. A convenient descaling programme makes maintenance hassle-free.
A steam oven doesn't just preserve food's vitamins and nutrients, it also allows flavours to unfold without added fat. This makes the cooking method especially popular among those looking to eat a well-balanced diet and live a healthy lifestyle. A steam oven – be it a steam-only oven or a combination steam oven – allow you to steam cook full meals with efficiency and ease. They also unlock the potential of succulent sous vide dishes and let you easily reheat dishes so they taste freshly cooked.
Top steam oven features.
Steam dishes in parallel.
Make fish, potatoes and vegetables in one go.
A steam oven fills the entire oven cavity with steam, making it possible to cook, for example, fish, potatoes and broccoli on separate racks in the oven at once. Aromas don't mingle in the steam oven, so each component comes out tasting just as you imagined. In addition to being practical and time-saving, it's also an energy-efficient way to cook because you only run the oven once.
Cook sous vide.
A healthy food trend to recreate at home.
Intrigued by sous vide but uncertain how to get started? Our steam ovens make it easy. Simply vacuum seal the desired ingredients and steam cook at a low temperature until done. The cooking method retains vitamins and nutrients, and results in mouth-watering food with intensive flavour. For chef-like dishes that come together in a snap.
Advanced convection.
Cook on multiple racks at once.
Time and energy saving, our advanced convection setting, known as 4D Hotair, uses an integrated fan to evenly circulate heat in the oven. This means you can bake, for example, up to four trays of biscuits in parallel – with each tray coming out perfectly golden brown. Available on selected combination steam ovens and selected ovens with added steam.
Easily remove, fill and descale: flexible to install and to use.
The water tank on our steam ovens is easy to remove and to top up. With no need for a mains water connection, you can flexibly install a steam oven wherever it suits your kitchen. To descale the water talk, simply choose the auto descaling programme. It couldn't be any more hassle free.
Scrub-free cleaning.
Cooks and cleans at once.
Days of scrubbing the oven's interior by hand are a thing of the past. A special coating of microfine ceramic spheres on the sides and ceiling of our EcoClean Direct combination steam ovens breaks down grime and grease while the oven's in use. All you have to do is occasionally wipe down the oven floor and glass door.
Full steam vs. added steam.
Steam cook or crisp: achieve these results with steam.
Full steam: Steam cooking is possible on our steam-only ovens and our combination steam ovens. This means you can thoroughly steam cook raw ingredients, such as fish or vegetables.
Added steam: Standard ovens with added steam exclusively cook food with heat. To give homemade bread or a roast a crispy crust, an added steam option lets you add moisture inside of the oven during the cooking process. Cooking with steam, however, isn't possible.
