Steam cooking
Whether you're trying to stay healthy or have a bake off to win, an oven with steam cooking will take your creations to the next level. The hot vapour surrounds your ingredients, gently heating them from every angle. This leaves each dish packed with flavour and looking just like those pictures in the recipe book. It’s a fool-proof way to cook like a pro.
Benefits
A healthy option
Want to get the most out of your food? Cooking with steam means there’s no need to add moisture using extra fats or oil. And since there’s less chance of overcooking, all those healthy nutrients get locked in. It’s a double win for healthier mealtimes.
Packed with flavour
Let’s be honest, no one’s a fan of bland veg. Steam cooking makes that a problem of the past. It’s gentle on your ingredients, so everything from your broccoli to your squash will have irresistible texture and flavour. It’ll be so delicious even the kids can’t turn their noses up.
Perfect for bakers
Trying your hand at a new ciabatta recipe? With this feature, the hot steam cooks the dough from every angle, leaving your loaves with a fluffy middle, crunchy crust and perfect rise. You’ll get the same amazing results with cakes too – time to don your chef whites and get baking.

Are your loaves more like rocks? Steam Add is here to help. Simply pop some water into the bottom tray and hot air will turn it to steam.

Steam & Infuse™
Enjoy tender pulled pork and aromatic skewers with Stoves’ Steam & Infuse™. Just add either water, stock or spices into the dish, and choose the right programme from the menu. Because the liquid is turned into steam, moisture is locked in and flavours are encouraged to develop. It also reduces cooking times by up to 20%, so you’ll never be waiting long for that first bite.
Plus Steam
If lumpy loaves are getting you down, the PlusSteam function has the answer. Simply pour 250ml of water into the special cavity at the base of the oven and select the PlusSteam function. Set your desired temperature, leave it for 10 minutes, then pop in your dough. The end result? Golden brown on the outside, fluffy and white on the inside. All that’s left to do is wipe away any excess moisture once you’re done. Tasty.
