Steam Oven Cookbook : Cooking with steam for the whole family. Including over 50 delicious recipes

What exactly is vaping?
Unlike traditional ovens, a steam oven uses "wet heat" to cook your food. Depending on the model, water is poured into a container (or water tank) inside the stove. As the oven heats up, food is cooked by convection combined with steam.

The history of steaming food
Food steaming is not a new technique. Some historians believe that people in China steamed their food thousands of years ago. People used a steamer basket, called a bamboo steamer, as a vessel for preparing dim sum. The braided vessel allowed the steam to flow into the device and cook fish, vegetables and broth. Because the Chinese bamboo steamer works with steam - and not with high heat or direct contact with water - more vitamins and minerals are retained. In addition, cooking with moist heat prevents food from sticking together (as sometimes happens with sautйing and other stovetop methods). Therefore, no butter, oil or cooking spray was needed.

Why a combi-steam oven is so practical…
Unlike other moist heat cooking methods whose only function is to steam food, a combi-steam oven offers a multitude of possibilities. With a combination steamer you can steam, bake, grill, reheat and even roast different foods. With such a variety of functions, you can prepare an almost endless variety of dishes. With the multiple modes of operation of a convection steam oven, you can bring leftovers from the restaurant to life, make that delicious avocado toast you've been waiting for, or bake up crispy fries and eggs while you get ready for work in the morning.
