Is steam cooking worth it?

The steam keeps vitamins locked inside the food, rather than drawing them out like a normal oven does. Steamed foods contain more nutrients such as Vitamin C, antioxidants and folic acid. And your food will not only be better for you, it will be more flavourful too! Steam ovens also cook food quickly.

What exactly is a steam oven? Put simply, a steam oven combines baking with steaming in only one appliance, creating a neatly balanced act of crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

A combi-oven is a versatile piece of equipment that combines three modes of cooking in one oven: steam, circulated hot air or a combination of both. The combi mode is used to re-heat foods and to roast, bake and oven fry. The steam mode is ideal for rapid cooking of vegetables and shellfish.

Most ovens take 10 to 15 minutes to heat up to the right temperature. If you have an older oven, you may not have a dial with the different temperatures written on it; you may just have an on-off switch. If this is the case, simply turn on the oven and wait 10 to 15 minutes before setting the items to be baked inside.

When you make a cake, the best result is a soft centre with lots of moisture. A steam oven helps you achieve this using a hot pressurised system that helps your cake cook evenly while retaining its moisture and flavour.

On Electrolux steam ovens the water container is placed in the upper right corner on your steam oven. With the expectation of the SteamBake oven, where it is placed in the cavity on the bottom floor of the oven. Either way, ensure to fill it up before you start cooking.
