Even for small homes, many people want to buy a multi-functional kitchen appliance that can cook, steam, roast, stew and even barbeque in one machine. But with so many choices out there, which oven is right for you? Let’s check out the following recommendations!

Oven / Steam Oven / Superheated Steam Oven Principle

Oven

An oven uses hot air convection via heating wires to cook food. At the same time, a built-in fan creates hot airflow to let heat penetrate deep inside the oven to cook a variety of foods quickly and evenly. The temperature of this type of oven can reach up to 200°C or 300°C.

Steam Oven

In simple terms, a steam oven is basically a stove and a steamer. In addition to its convection features, it also steams food. The heating tube on the bottom plate of the oven generates heat and turns water into hot vapour to cook food. The steam-and-bake function of this type of oven is great for making different kinds of dishes.

Superheated Steam Oven

Superheated steam oven uses "superheated steam" technology to heat water to 200°C or 300°C. This makes the water molecules smaller so they can penetrate deeper into the ingredients. At the same time, it transfers heat into the food to achieve rapid heating and fast cooking. Compared with a steam oven, the temperature of a superheated steam oven is even higher. Some models come with additional functions for steaming, roasting and baking all in one appliance.

Oven - Essential for Baking and Roasting

Excellent choice for those who love to bake and roast. Choose a higher capacity oven for a large family or a mini oven for grilling chicken wings or baking bread.

Steam Oven - Steam and Bake All in One

Good for sealing in natural taste and nutrients and reducing oxidation of the food. A steaming oven functions both as a stove and a steamer. Great for people who love to experiment with different cooking methods. The capacity of the steam oven can be as large as 70L or more. Use it to prepare a variety of foods at the same time. Ideal for busy Hongkongers, and those with ample kitchen space.

Superheated Steam Oven - Cook with Less Oil and Low Salt

This type of oven is often compared to the steam oven because both make use of hot vapour to cook food. However, the steam oven does not have "superheated steam" technology or a microwave function. The superheated steam of a HEALSIO penetrates the food under high temperature and forces the oil out while retaining the juice and umami of the food. It helps reduce calorie intake and is a great partner for weight control.
