You had plans for the ideal dinner – a golden brown pork roast, roasted red potatoes, and a fresh green salad. But 90 minutes into the preparation, and the pork roast hasn’t finished cooking; in fact, it’s not even browned. Those ideal plans just turned into an “order in” night. That’s when you know it may be time for a new oven.
THE NEWEST TRENDS IN KITCHEN APPLIANCES
Consider a convection steam oven, the newest trend in kitchen appliances. A convection steam oven, or combi oven, offers the best of both worlds with the benefits of steam cooking and the advantages of convection. The technology allows for adjustable levels letting you control the exact amount of dry heat and steam. The result is the perfect meal. With a convection steam oven, you can expect:
- Less cooking time
- Healthier, consistent cooking results
- Energy efficiency
A COMBI OVEN CAN STEAM, BROWN, SAUTE & FRY
The convection steam oven browns meats, sautés vegetables and can even fry. Meals that took multiple appliances, pots and pans can all be prepared in the one combi oven without flavor transfer. In addition, your food cooks in less time and without added oil or fat, so it’s healthier yet still flavorful with all the nutrients and, of course, the taste. In fact the steam plus convection technology can fully cook a turkey in 90 minutes, while a regular convection may take up to three hours.
Models like the Wolf Brand convection steam ovens deliver precise control with a variety of steam, convection, and combination steam and convection cooking options.
