Using steam to prepare food translates into healthier meals with less fat. For example, let’s look at cooking meat, which often needs to be greased with oil to keep it from being too dry.

The oven also offers the possibility of defrosting, reheating or steam cleaning. Depending on the manufacturer, the appliance will be equipped with different functions
The modern technology used in ovens translates into a higher energy class, and this translates into low energy consumption. In addition, the cooking time of food is shorter, which equates to less use of electricity and more savings.
