Pyrolytic Ovens

Pyrolytic ovens are self-cleaning ovens that use high temperatures (approximately 400-500°C) to break down food residue and grease. The intense heat burns any spills, splatters and baked-on food, reducing them to a fine ash that can be wiped away with a damp cloth. This convenient method eliminates scrubbing, but requires lengthy, high-energy cycles and safety measures.

Induction Cooktops

Induction cooktopsare popular for their rapid heating, precise control, energy efficiency, and safety, thanks to electromagnetic technology which directly heats cookware instead of the cooking surface. Many Induction Cooktops may also feature bridging zones, where the power and size of cooking zones can be combined to cater to larger cookware.

A Buyer's Guide to Steam Ovens & Combi Steam Ovens

A Buyer's Guide to Steam Ovens & Combi Steam Ovens

People say the kitchen is the heart of the home — and we couldn't agree more. Choosing the right oven to suit your lifestyle makes a real difference, whether you're a passionate baker or a health-conscious home cook. Combination steam ovens offer impressive functionality and versatility, opening the door to a wider range of recipes and cooking styles than a standard oven ever could.

What is a combination steam oven?

A combination steam oven (also known as a combi-steam oven) is an oven with multiple cooking functions: convection, steam, and combination cooking. You can select the function that best suits each dish, making it a genuinely practical choice for busy modern households.

Because combination steam ovens are equipped with a water reservoir, you can enjoy the health benefits of steam cooking alongside the typical functions of a convection oven. This multi-functional design lets you simultaneously steam and roast your food — but that's just the beginning. Combi-steam ovens can also be used for baking, poaching, grilling, blanching, and braising.

How does a combination steam oven work?

Unlike standard ovens, combination steam ovens can deliver dry heat and steam simultaneously. When set to combination mode, the heating element converts water from the reservoir into steam, delivering moisture to food as it cooks. These ovens typically feature one of two systems: a boiler system that produces steam within a generator located outside the cooking chamber, or an injection system that sprays water directly onto the heating element inside the chamber.

One of the standout benefits is the ability to manually control the moisture level of your food. By adjusting the steam humidity and temperature, you can reduce cooking time while keeping meat, fish, and vegetables succulent and evenly cooked. The combination of steam and convection heat also reduces shrinkage, weight loss, and the risk of burning.

Steam-only ovens often struggle to brown foods — but with a combi-steam oven, the convection function delivers dry heat to crisp and brown your dishes. This makes it a great option for baking, allowing you to proof, bake, and crisp breads, bagels, pastries, and more.

Why you will love combination steam oven cooking

The benefits of combi-steam cooking go well beyond convenience. With a range of cooking settings at your fingertips, you can expand your culinary repertoire and tackle all manner of dishes. The steam function means you won't need to baste meat, fish, or vegetables in oil to maintain their moisture — and steaming helps food retain its natural nutrients and vitamins, so you're getting more out of every meal.

The convection heat enhances flavour and creates beautifully crisp crusts on pizza, bread, and baked goods. Meanwhile, the steam function reduces cooking times and ensures consistent results, while preventing food from shrinking during cooking.

Many combination steam ovens also feature higher temperature ranges than standard household ovens, giving you greater manual control. Pre-programmed menus take the guesswork out of specific recipes, and maintenance is simple — many models include a self-clean mode or can be wiped down with a damp cloth after use.

What to look for when buying a combination steam oven

Once you've decided a combi-steam oven is right for you, there are a few practical factors worth considering before you buy.

Price

Combination steam ovens are available across a wide price range. When weighing up cost, consider energy efficiency and functionality together. A more energy-efficient model can reduce ongoing power bills, while a multi-functional design means fewer additional appliances cluttering your kitchen.

Size

Size is an important consideration. Think about your living situation — a compact model may suit an apartment, while a larger capacity oven is better suited to a spacious home or family kitchen. Before purchasing, measure the available space in your kitchen carefully to make sure your chosen oven will fit comfortably.

Features

Modern combination steam ovens come loaded with features designed to simplify cooking. Plumbed-in models automatically drain water after steaming, removing the need to empty a condensation container. Pre-programmed menus let you select the right settings for specific dishes, and self-cleaning modes help keep your oven in great condition over time. Look for models with intuitive touch controls and a good range of oven functions to get the most out of your investment.

Wrapping up

A combination steam oven is one of the most versatile appliances you can add to your kitchen. Whether you're cooking for a busy family or experimenting with new recipes, the combination of steam and convection heat gives you greater control, healthier results, and consistently delicious food. Take the time to consider size, features, and energy efficiency to find a model that fits your home and cooking style. Ready to explore your options?
