One of our favorite appliances here at Atherton Appliance & Kitchens and BSC Culinary is Wolf’s Convection Steam Oven. We’ve been so impressed with the results our colleagues and customers have reported when cooking with this oven!
You might ask: Why a steam oven? And why Wolf?
Cooks have long appreciated the way steam cooking preserves nutrients and keeps foods moist. But Wolf wasn’t satisfied with these basic advantages. The Wolf convection steam oven makes steam do so much more. Meals that used to require the use of multiple appliances and multiple pots and pans can now be prepared with just this oven. The automatic modes and customized manual functions eliminate guesswork. With a Wolf Steam and Convection Oven you can:
- Brown meats
- Sauté vegetables with beautiful caramelization and without adding a drop of fat
- Sauté, boil and simmer, as on a cooktop
- Bake, roast, even “fry” without oil
- Prepare all-in-one dishes automatically (such as stroganoff)
- Cook multiple dishes together
- Avoid any flavor transfer between foods
- Eliminate fat without compromising taste
- Save steps by cooking complex dishes in one pan
Wolf’s Steam Convection oven really does things you’ve never thought possible. You can prepare perfect, fluffy couscous without using any butter or a richly browned roast chicken that will be the juiciest you’ve ever tasted. How about crusts that glisten without an egg wash? All are possible with this versatile appliance.
A revelation for bakers: Have you ever wondered how professional bakeries get a perfect crackling crust on boules and baguettes? Steam is their secret. It can be yours too, along with countless other benefits cooks around the world have enjoyed for years with convection steam ovens. Bake bread with crisp crusts worthy of a boulangerie. Watch your cakes rise high and stay moist. You can prepare pastries that have light, delicate brown crusts and rich centers. Convection steam even produces the bright gleam of an egg wash without the egg.
Roast, braise, even sauté: If you’re thinking more about cooking than baking, with the Wolf Convection Steam Oven meats and poultry can be prepared so that they are gorgeously browned and exceptionally juicy. Cook precisely the doneness you prefer with proper resting time accounted for automatically. Your meal will be ready at the exact moment your family and guests take their seats. Wolf convection steam promises to make your main course as memorable as it is easy.
Vegetables and sides: Nutrition is just the beginning with Wolf: Wolf convection steam preserves nutrients. It also ensures delicious results; for instance, you can keep vegetables such as asparagus hot for hours without overcooking. Caramelize onions with a fat-free cooking process. Create casseroles and gratins from scratch with the push of a few buttons.
And what about leftovers? Last night's stir-fry can be reborn! For reheating foods, no microwave or conventional oven can hold a candle to Wolf’s convection steam. From rice dishes to pizza to fine cuts of meat, you’ll be amazed at the flavor and appearance. Even bread that is several days old can become bakery fresh again. When leftovers taste fresh and delicious, you’ll enjoy them more and waste less food.
Preheating: Another advantage with the Wolf Convection Steam Oven is that preheating is extremely fast, so your meal can be ready that much quicker. And delivering precise control is easy because the oven is equipped with a variety of steam, convection, and combination steam and convection cooking options. Wolf’s unique technology senses the amount, size, and shape of food once an automatic mode has been selected. While cooking, it monitors the time, temperature, and environment, eliminating all of the guesswork you’re used to dealing with in the kitchen. There simply has never been a more versatile cooking instrument than this oven!
