Sunday roasts and Friday-night flatbreads both get an easier ride with this AEG Series 7000 built-in oven. SteamCrisp mixes steam with hot air, so the outside stays crisp while the middle stays juicy. External testing on salmon found fish came out up to 20% more tender than the same fillet cooked in a non-steam oven, as long as steam and hot air are combined in the one cook. The CookSmart Touch display feeds you cooking tips as you go, while Assisted Dishes talks you through baking, fish and plant-based cooking one step at a time.

With Wi-Fi on board, you can send a recipe from the AEG app to the oven and let it set the time, temperature and function for you. The grill runs at 2300 Watts for browning the top of a shepherd's pie, and the meat probe tells you the moment the centre of a joint is ready. Residual heat cooking uses the warmth already sitting in the cavity to finish a dish off, so the oven draws less power towards the end of a long bake. Handy, that.
