From ovens to coffee machines. Contemporary appliances for a minimalist kitchen

Steamers can seem like an overindulgence in a compact minimalist kitchen. Many modern appliance brands, however, offer combination oven/steamers that utilise both functions. By combining the two, more professional results can be achieved in complex operations such as baking, roasting, and sous-vide cooking, as well as re-heating food. Using the right combination of hot air and steam creates an atmosphere that doesn’t dry out pre-cooked food, while retaining its moisture, colour, nutrients and, most importantly, its taste.
