Why cook in a steam oven?
The dishes below speak to what’s so great about cooking in a steam oven. They’re mostly classics and what I would refer to as staple dishes, so you’ll be familiar with most of them and have probably cooked at least a few using conventional methods.
Steam and combi-steam aren’t methods designed to change what you cook. They help you cook the things you already make, only better or faster.
When you think about it, that covers a lot of dishes.
Chicken, fish, and many cuts of meat benefit from some added steam, but so do bread and other baked goods, pastry, vegetables, fruits, grains, pulses, and plenty of desserts.
