Steam cooking

An age-old, healthy cooking method that preserves and enhances the real essence of food

Steam cooking requires less time and thanks to its delicate nature it cooks in a different way, locking in food's nutritional and organoleptic properties. This means that delicious, wholesome, prime raw ingredients retain all their original aroma, colour and texture.

What's more, cooking in a humid environment doesn’t dry dishes out; indeed, it ensures all the aromatic properties are sealed inside, so that foods retain their full flavour and true essence. 

Why choose steam:

  • It keeps food soft and avoids excessive moisture loss
  • It locks in more nutrients, vitamins and minerals
  • It gives soft cooking results for food that is juicy inside, and crispy and golden on the outside unlike any other traditional cooking method
  • It reduces cooking times
  • It allows the cooking of food from frozen, with the need to defrost
  • it allows simultaneous cooking of multiple foods without odour transfer
  • In the combi version it combines the advantages of a steam oven with that of a conventional oven
