For maximum flavour, add steam

Whether you’re a more theatrical chef that likes to take guests on a well-orchestrated journey of culinary delight, a passionate home chef or an every-evening family cook, you’ll want to consider more than the use of fresh, local ingredients.

A lot has been said about décor, layout, style and efficient use of space but what about the quality and innovative performance of the kitchen appliances you select. Aside from durability, reliability and top- notch European design-build there are some extra features to look for these days that can really up your game.

In particular… AEG steam ovens are an increasingly popular, versatile addition to any kitchen allowing you to prepare a healthier, more flavourful and wider variety of foods in a brand-new way. Not only  can you expect cooking times that are 50% faster and restaurant quality results but they’re  a meat lover’s dream. The steam oven’s gentle moist heat ensures that meats retain their juiciness and flavour without the addition of extra fat—a healthier cooking option. Cooking fish in a steam oven has a similar result—soft succulent fish that’s bursting with taste. A steam oven can also shine when it comes to cooking vegetables by preserving essential vitamins and minerals. And, they’re your secret weapon when it comes to baking delightfully springy bread and flakey, layered pastries.
