Cooking with steam

Different steam technologies offer different ways to enhance cooking, from adding moisture to baking and roasting to cooking with pure steam.

• If your priority is improved results, hotair steam, addedSteam and addedSteam Plus can support crisp breads and juicy roasts.
• If healthy cooking is more important, fullSteam Plus and steam drawers offer dedicated steam cooking to help retain nutrients, flavour, colour and texture.

Advanced technologies combine these benefits with greater flexibility and control, offering options to suit different cooking habits and budgets.

Sous-vide, meaning "under vacuum" in French, is a cooking method in which food is vacuumed and slow cooked, at low-temperatures between 50°- 95°C, using steam. This preserves nutrients and vitamins, and intensifies the natural flavours of the dish.

Selected Siemens ovens with steam come with a dedicated sous-vide functionality. This sous-vide function offers a high precision of the temperature curve to maintain exact temperatures.

Find out which oven is best for you

It is important to choose an oven that has sufficient cooking space but also fits the space available in your kitchen. For seamless built-in kitchen designs, there are more possibilities than the standard 60 x 60cm niche for the oven.

Width and height dimensions and interior volume of Siemens ovens products with steam functionality:

• Standard oven: 60cm x 60cm (71 litres)

• Compact oven: 60cm x 45cm (47 litres)
• Steam drawer: 60cm x 14cm (10 litres)

For built-in kitchen designs, another option is to combine multiple 60cm wide appliances next to each other horizontally or vertically. For example combining a built- in fullSteam oven with an oven with microwave gives you more cooking options and capacity. 45 cm high compact ovens with steam can be optimally combined with a 15cm high warming drawer.
