Every home chef has their tried-and-tested repertoire of recipes and their own way of cooking. But which style is the most effective? And what can you do differently to bring out those big, delicious flavours?
There are three popular cooking styles that can elevate any meal: traditional, microwave, and steam. Turning every kitchen into a chef’s paradise, a multi-purpose oven that combines all three techniques is the ultimate appliance.
Ready to invest in a triple threat? Smeg’s built-in steam oven has multi-cooking technology that is the perfect combination between traditional, microwave and steam ovens. Below we break down the benefits of each.
1. Traditional style
Far from being a basic essential appliance, conventional ovens have heating elements at the top and bottom of the oven and are used for roasting and baking. As most recipes are written for conventional ovens, this is a go-to cooking style for a lot of home chefs.
Taking traditional to the next tier, Smeg’s built-in steam oven pairs sophisticated style and advanced tech. With sleek black glass and copper trims, it exudes a luxe look that lives up to its features.
To help you get midweek meals on the table with ease, there are over 26 cooking functions to choose from, such as defrost, proving, barbecue, and even an air fry tray (the latter recreates the effect of traditional frying, just with half the calories).
If you’re in desperate need of dinner inspiration, the ‘Smart Cooking’ program of Smeg’s steam oven includes 150 automatic recipes, so you can cook classic dishes or try out new ideas.
2. Microwave style
The trick to mastering any meal is to mix and match cooking styles. Smeg’s microwave ovens, for instance, combine traditional cooking with microwave technology to help you master your at-home dishes.
We all know the best part of any microwave oven: it cuts cooking time! Smeg’s built-in steam oven saves up to 40% cooking time with microwave technology, leaving you plenty of time to relax, or round up the kids for dinner.
Saving time means saving energy and reducing power bills, but it also means preserving nutrients. As cook times are short and temperatures low, microwave ovens are convenient without compromising on nutritional value.
3. Steam style
This cooking technique is the epitome of healthy cooking. As steam enters the oven, it adds moisture to the air and locks in nutrients and natural flavours, reducing the need to use oil or fats on meat and vegetables.
With a variable steam control, Smeg’s in-built steam oven lets you customise steam levels to suit your dish. In this multi-functional oven, the steam is generated from less water and only injected when needed, saving both water and energy for fuss-free cooking.
Whether you’re baking, boiling, or roasting, a steam oven can also cut cooking time. From fluffy cakes to crispy roasts, this three-in-one oven can raise any meal to restaurant quality. Bon appétit!
