So a steam oven for me was an extravagance-I did get the largest plumbed Miele model as an afterthought actually a few years after remodeling the kitchen-I put it underneath a plumbed Miele espresso maker. I do a lot of bread baking and frankly I wish I had gotten the steam oven sooner. Proofing and rising with steam is remarkable-fast and reliable. Baking bread with steam is a revelation-I’ve never had better results in oven spring and crust formation. The other features like dehydrating and yogurt making that I thought were gimmicky are actually fabulous, and I do use those modes frequently as well. The Miele steam oven is also fantastic with its conventional modes as well-very quick to pre-heat and superb temperature control. I have 3 ovens in my kitchen and the Miele steam oven gets used much more than I ever thought it would. Thank you for the video.

Great commment thank you. Which Miele model do you have? Any chance you have their range as well? I am a huge baker and always wanted a steam oven but have heard some say the Miele is not a “true” steam oven. From what you said that doesn’t seem true.

This and you other wall oven video is great for research, thank you.

I hope steam ovens become mainstream soon, so they can be more affordable. I'm mainly interested in an induction range version though.

Rating features is one thing. Reliability rating I think would be a major consideration.

Great video in this series, well done. I have a general question regarding these better steam combi ovens versus a regular electric oven. Can you get by with just a steam oven if 1) you don’t need the cooking volume and your family is small, and 2) the steam oven can broil / crisp? I find I am using a countertop oven for most smaller tasks and can see the steam oven great for specialty cooking with gourmet settings.

Yes, can definitely just have a steam oven in your kitchen and cook anything! Yes, some steam ovens have the ability to brown, crisp, and broil! I have 2 steam ovens and 1 regular oven. I never use the regular oven st all. Hope this helps. :)

Has Gaggenau or an authorized agent published any cookbooks that focus on using their ovens?

Can you please rate one from SKS and tell me pros and cons comparing the others that you mentioned in this vedio?

I have the Anova. I think it is better than most of the ones you reviewed.

Then do your research. It's the best oven by far. It even has a sous vide option without needing the vaccum sealed bags. Also connecta to an app via WiFi and can be controlled so precisely. Far ahead of the game imo.

I have the $700 Anova. I can start it from my phone when I am five miles from home. The $5,000 Wolf can only remote start if manually put it in a remote start mode. The Anova is a large counter-top oven.. it is not a built in.

Great, then why are you here? You should be happy with your counter top oven, these are built in appliances, people don’t usually cross shop these categories of appliances

I have had built in steam ovens (Wolf years ago, Miele in the past 2 years) and loved them. Picked up an Anova for temporary use in my latest house until I renovate the kitchen (and will keep it as an extra oven or sell on-line). Pleasantly surprised by how much it can do and certainly huge bang for the buck compared to Miele/Wolf, etc. Definitely recommend it as a relatively budget friendly option. However @ 120V it can't perform like the built in models in terms of speed. And it rapidly loses heat as soon as the oven door is open and takes quite some time to recover (not sure how well insulated it is and the 120v just doesn't have the horsepower to recover fast)..

Anyone have Wolf's newer 30" M Series Professional Convection Steam Oven? The capacity is 2.4 and is offered in a plumbed version. We are remodeling a kitchen and want both a steam combi oven and a regular wall oven. Considering Miele, Wolf and Thermador.

I use wolf steam ovens and I have used others. Wolf is my preference as of today. I also used the newest 2023 wolf steam oven to roast a 12 lb Turkey in approx 65 minutes. It’s an amazing appliance!

Why did you not mention the 30" Pro GE Cafe Steam oven? It also requires 220 not 110

Haven't sold it.....

It seems like you guys know a lot more about these ovens than your rating system allows you to communicate. a 3 or 4 point cross examination of each unit would've been much more meaningful in my opinion
