Super-Heated Steam Oven

[damole]

Hi

I've seen these kind of ovens in demos before but today I saw one in Siam TV (Chiang Mai) along side something that looked like the base for chocolate brownies, a baking tray with chcoclotae sponge in it.

Has anybody got any personal experience with one?

I don't have or use microwaves as a rule and already own a large Otto toaster oven which I haven't found reliable for baking, fine for toasting and grilling.

I'm from the UK and would like to make some scones occasionally as well as other baked goods.

Specifications look promissing. Really all in one. Really high temp 350C and proofing position >=30C. Hope it doesn't melt down.

Dunno what the price is. Do you?

The looks however are a bit cheap at first sight, but volume is not bad at all; 31 Ltr is about 50 x 30 x 20 cm

For 10,000 Baht a bargain maybe?

22,500 Bt so not cheap but if it really can make crusty pies and bread then I might be willing to make the investment. There are other models but this is the top of the line. The last ones I saw which were in Robinson were from Sharp.

Included in the 7 functions it says it is also an inverter, I guess great for making pineapple update cake . ;-) I like the idea of a fermentation mode because I make a lot of home made yoghurt and kefir.

using an early generation built-in steam combination oven for 6 years. although features are far less than that today's Toshiba oven, it is a very versatile cooking utensil in the modern kitchen.

the steam functions are very useful, that you could control the moisture in cooking, baking and grilling. oh, grilling - my combi oven using hot air, so grilling and browning are not as good ( heating too even ). check if the Toshiba oven using heating element, that is better for grilling.

the Sharp steam oven was a very popular choice, but I guess it is only a steam oven. not sure if there was a new product induction.

Toshiba, Sharp, or else, steam oven or steam combination oven are highly recommended !

I dunno anything about Roasting, but i have one at home small one can heat up @ 250 c. I cook mini handmade pizza sometimes and just use as Microwave, I had compare that one its look similar with mine one.

I don't have any advise for this, but I will be glad to become a tester for your cookies
