Cooking with Smeg

Steam Ovens

Cooking with steam is an age-old, healthy cooking method which preserves and enhances the real essence of food. Steam is a popular alternative to conventional cooking methods.

The popularity of steam cooking is on the rise. Steam cooking provides faster cooking times  - typically 20-25% less than conventional cooking, as well as reduced energy consumption. Thanks to its delicate nature steam 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; instead steam cooking ensures all the aromatic properties are sealed inside, so that foods retain their full flavour and true essence. You can also cook multiple dishes at once without flavour transfer and perfectly reheat tricky foods like rice and pasta without drying ingredients out.
