A Deep Dive into Miele Steam Ovens

As you are shopping for a new oven you might come across something called a steam oven. One of the most popular brands that offer the steam oven is the Miele.

A steam oven will cook food at much lower temperatures. Instead of cooking food anywhere from 250-425°, the steam oven will cook food at 212°. Although the oven will be much lower in temperature, it will actually cook the food much faster than a traditional oven.

Pros of a Steam Oven

Some of the pros of the Miele steam oven include:

• Won’t burn the food: Since the temperature in the steam oven is considerably cooler than a traditional oven, it is much harder to burn the food inside the oven using the steam feature.

•Food tastes better: Many people have stated that having a steam oven makes the food taste better. The nutrients and vitamins are sealed into the food which makes it richer in flavor.

• Healthier: As mentioned above, the steam function keeps all of the nutrients and vitamins in the food which makes the meals healthier.

Cons of a Steam Oven
