Expert Advice for Cooking with a Convection Steam Oven

It’s no secret; we love the Wolf Convection Steam Oven. Never heard of a convection steam oven? Convection steam ovens are versatile; you can cook with steam, convection heat, or a combination of both. How do you know when to cook with which type of heat? We’ll give you our expert advice on cooking with a steam oven.

Full Steam

• Cook several items at the same time. Cooking with only steam is excellent for cooking several components of a menu at the same time, without the different flavors mixing. You can cook fish rice and custard at the same time without our rice tasting like vanilla or the custard tasting like salmon. This benefit makes entertaining quite easy.
• Blanch vegetables without filling a giant pot full or water and waiting for it heat up.
• Proof yeast dough and sourdough
• Get excited about leftovers. Say goodbye to dry or overcooked leftovers. The steam function effortlessly revives even the most difficult leftovers like rice, pasta, and seafood.
• Defrost. Use the full steam setting at 95 degrees Fahrenheit to quickly and safely defrost anything.
• Effortlessly cook rice without any scotching, including risotto. No stirring necessary.

Combination Convection and Steam

• Bake bread. Steam delays crust formation and allows bread to fully expand. You’ll get that shiny, crusty loaf every time. Professional bakers all use steam ovens; it is the best way to bake bread.
• Roasts. Use the precision roasting temperature probe in slow roast mode. Set time and the oven does the rest, oven raises and lowers its temperature to make it finish exactly on time. No over cooking, no under cooking. Most precise and easiest way to slow roast meat. The roast or chicken will be golden on the outside and moist on the inside. Dry meat is a thing of the past.
• Bonus- Cooks food quicker, even at low temperatures

Convection Only

• Moist cakes
• Tarts
• Cookies
