Steam Ovens Vs Built-In Ovens
Steam Ovens have gained popularity over recent years, capturing the interest of more keen cooks who wish to make nutritious, tasty meals. Whether you are a seasoned chef or just someone who enjoys cooking from the comfort of your own kitchen, investing in a quality Steam Oven could be the perfect addition to your kitchen. In this article, we take a look at the benefits and disadvantages of investing in one.

Whilst Steam Ovens do differ from a conventional oven in that they use no hot liquids (such as oil) when cooking, they are not without their advantages. Conventional ovens rely on high temperatures to cook the food, meaning it is necessary to constantly preheat the oven and often keep turning the controls to ensure even cooking. Steam Ovens can be preheated with a press of a button, meaning you can leave the oven on for prolonged periods at a time, taking your time in the process and ensuring each course of food is cooked thoroughly.

Unlike microwaves, a Steam Oven does not need to have its temperature maintained in order to function. The main difference between the two appliances is that microwaves rely on constant cooking speeds to obtain a good result, whereas a steam cooker will reach a different temperature depending on the duration of the cooking session. This means that foods cooked in a Steam Oven can be kept at varying cooking temperatures, something which is impossible with a microwave.

Conventional ovens also tend to have limited storage space, often leaving users with little choice as to how they can store their appliances. Steam Ovens, however, come in a variety of sizes and are available with built-in steam chambers. Because most models come with a 'baker's brick' which is where food is cooked in the chamber, the user is able to choose from a number of different recipes, helping them customise their meals to suit their tastes. However, there is one downside to using a built-in steam oven. As most homes have limited floor space, it can often be difficult to make a choice of which brick or segment to use. It is often preferable to cook in three separate rooms to maximise storage space.


When comparing the two cooking devices, it is clear to see why steam ovens are more popular than their slower counterparts. Although the slow cooker does possess many of the same functions and benefits, it often requires more time and energy in the form of waiting for food to cook. By using a steam combination ovens, users are able to reap all the advantages and benefits of both appliances. Steam Ovens can reach pre-set cooking speeds, meaning dishes can be cooked in a fraction of the time and in half the amount of fuel if using a conventional oven. In addition, users do not have to worry about waiting for the heat to build up, as both ovens reach the appropriate cooking speeds throughout the process.

In terms of safety, steam ovens are clearly superior to convection or induction cookers. https://myspace.com/thomas.davidson These types of cooking devices do not allow steam or moisture to escape, as convection and induction cookers do. By using steam ovens, users can ensure that steam and moisture cannot enter into the food, which means that there is a reduced risk of food suffering from food poisoning. In comparison, steam combination ovens will not generate the same level of heat, and consequently, food can suffer from elevated temperatures when using these devices. If using a traditional oven, this is obviously less of a risk, but it is still important to ensure that steam or moisture cannot escape and damage the food.

Steam ovens also tend to cook at a faster rate than microwaves. This means that the food is cooked evenly throughout, meaning that it will be ready sooner. Although microwaves can reach a baking speed ofaling of just under 10 seconds, the food will not be cooked evenly, and will take significantly longer to bake, due to uneven cooking. Steam ovens can achieve a baking speed ofaling of just under 10 seconds, so food will be cooked evenly throughout.

In terms of ease of use, the built-in ovens are clearly the most suitable for families with children. The design of the oven means that the user does not need to stand in one place to cook; rather he or she places the food into the oven and pushes a button to activate the cooking mechanisms. In contrast, the microwave requires a power source, and the cooking mechanisms require water tanks. However, with all of these differences in mind, the built-in oven is clearly the best choice for busy families.
