Steam Ovens

Dedicated steam ovens cook food entirely with moist heat, without any fan oven function. Steaming at precise temperatures between 40°C and 100°C preserves vitamins, minerals, and the natural colour and texture of food more effectively than any dry-heat cooking method. Fish, vegetables, grains, and delicate proteins cooked in a steam oven retain qualities that conventional cooking destroys.

Steam ovens are particularly compelling as a health-focused cooking tool: food cooked without dry heat and without submersion in water retains significantly more of its nutritional value. Many users incorporate a steam oven into meal preparation routines — cooking batches of grains, proteins, and vegetables efficiently to reduce daily cooking time.

Woodalls stocks pure steam ovens from Miele, Siemens, and Gaggenau. Many of our customers install a dedicated steam oven as a third appliance in a tall tower unit, alongside a primary oven and a microwave or warming drawer. Our NW11 showroom team can advise on how steam ovens integrate into a kitchen plan and which models offer the best combination of capacity and temperature precision.
