Microwave Oven / Steam Oven Benefits

There are a number of benefits associated with steam oven cooking. You can experience faster cooking times, even though steam ovens cook at much lower temperatures. This is a great factor, especially when preparing meals on the run. Steam cooking also retains vitamins, nutrients and flavor as well as the color and texture. For the health conscious (and aren’t we all these days) there is no need to add oils for cooking foods like chicken, and the steam stops food from drying out. You can also cook up to 3 levels simultaneously without any transfer of taste, even when you are cooking both sweet and savoury dishes.

As for cleaning, you will find steam ovens much easier to clean as food can not burn or bake on, and you just wipe moisture out. When looking for a steam oven, you can also keep an eye open for some models that come with an inbuilt steam clean feature to help with the cleaning.

If you are worried about how to use the steam oven, fear not, as most have that covered and provide a range of in-built cooking guides that provide temperature settings as well as auto defrost settings.
