Steam ovens
Why a steam oven?
A steam oven does everything your current oven does, but helps you to take your cooking to the next level. Your oven at home surrounds food with dry heat. Steam ovens add steam to the process. This extra moisture improves flavour, texture and colour while preserving crispiness - turning every meal into a masterpiece. But don't just take our word for it...
Master the methods
Low-temperature cooking is your secret weapon when creating mouth-watering dishes. Top chef and Tasteology expert Catalina Vélez explains that when you cook at a low temperature, steam and heat combine to slow cook your ingredients. This ensures your food preserves delicious flavour, important moisture and nutritional goodness. So you can enjoy dishes that melt in your mouth.
The science behind better baking
Good baking is an art. Great baking is a science. To create a masterpiece, adding steam is as important as each stroke of your pastry brush. With just a touch of a button, our Multifunction oven with SteamBake adds a perfect amount of steam to your baking. This leads to bigger, quicker rises and crispier crusts.

Add steam to your salmon
Spare your salmon the poaching pot. Choose steam. When you cook salmon in a SteamBoost oven, the gentle cooking keeps it beautifully tender and prevents it from drying out. The results are instantly noticeable. Steam helps preserve your food's natural colour. With that fresh shade of orange it looks as good as it tastes.
Why cook sous vide?
In our SteamPro ovens with sous vide, you can achieve results that are impossible in a normal oven. Vacuum sealed bags slow oxidation, preserving flavour. Temperature is maintained within a half-degree range. This precision gives you mouthwatering flavour and results you can recreate time after time. Sous vide may be an advanced technique, but AEG makes it easy.
