1- It reveals the flavors
What a disappointment, when you discover that roast chicken with golden skin actually turns out to be very dry when cut! Thanks to the Electrolux combi-steam oven, that will be history. Adding steam while cooking keeps food moist and juicy inside, while hot air crisps it on the outside.
With this method worthy of great chefs, your meats will be roasted and tender, your fish pearly and tender, your pastries airy and your vegetables as beautiful as they are tasty.
2- It retains nutrients
For many foods, the temperature curve is very important in order to preserve all their aromatic potential and their nutritional qualities. Excessive cooking could denature the product, while the addition of steam ensures gentle cooking that respects the raw material. Thus, your food retains its mineral salts, nutrients and vitamins while enhancing its natural color.
3- It allows economical cooking
Another advantage of the combi-steam oven is the cooking time, which is reduced by 30%. A saving of time and money which is explained by the rapid rise in heat and by the different levels of steam available guaranteeing optimal cooking. Thus the “100% steam” mode is ideal for vegetables and cereals, the high humidity is perfect for delicate dishes such as cream desserts, while the “medium humidity” and “low humidity” variants are excellent for meats and fish.
4- It helps to fight against food waste
You don’t know what to do with leftover gratin, a garden of vegetables and a roast cooked two days before? This combined steam oven is the best ally for concocting good meals with leftovers. It gives them a second life and regenerates them thanks to its steam rehydration function. Meat, vegetables and fish are thus reheated without being dried out, and retain all their original flavors and textures. Dishes that look like they were freshly cooked.
