What is a Convection Steam Oven?

A convection steam oven, as you might already know by the name, combines the features of a convection oven with a steam oven. Convection ovens use a fan to circulate air through the oven cavity to keep an even temperature and even cooking, preventing hot or cold spots in food. An additional advantage of a convection oven is it cooks food faster.

Steam ovens, as again you can guess by the name, cook with steam, i.e., vaporized water. A reservoir in the oven is filled with water and then heat turns the water into steam. Food cooked with steam retains moisture better than food cooked in a conventional oven, which helps retain more vitamins and minerals.

One disadvantage of steam cooking is that it won’t brown food the way a convection oven can. A convection steam oven gives you the best of both worlds of cooking—browned, evenly cooked food that retains moisture, and with it, vitamins and minerals.

Advantages of a Convection Steam Oven

When you combine convection and steam in one oven, as you do with the Wolf steam oven, you enjoy the following features:

Consistent heating and browning from the convection aspect
The steam adds moisture, so extra oil and fat aren’t needed to keep food juicy
Less risk of overcooking food
Eliminates messy boil-overs
Breads, bagels, and pastries can be proofed, baked, and crisped
Meats defrost gently and evenly, and hot spots are eliminated

One possible disadvantage is that convection steam ovens are generally more expensive. On the other hand, you are getting more functionality for that higher price.

Key Features of Wolf Steam Ovens

Engineered with a climate sensor, Wolf convection steam ovens ensure flavorful results that are always guesswork-free. They are available in plumbed and non-plumbed models and 24″ and 30″ widths for built-in ovens. Three full-extension rack positions and one standard position provide easy access and enhance cooking flexibility. Intuitive control on a sleek 8″ full-color touchscreen adds to the modern style of Wolf steam ovens.

The 30″ Wolf steam oven models offer a generous 2.4 cubic-foot overall oven capacity and feature a dual convection system. The 24″ Wolf steam oven models have an oven capacity of 1.7 cubic feet with a single convection system.

Wolf in-wall ovens offer the option of convection or steam, with chef-tested modes to create custom cooking environments for specific foods. These modes automatically monitor, control, and adjust temperature, airflow, steam, and humidity in the oven cavity.

The Wolf steam oven’s 17 specialized modes include Steam, Convection Steam, Convection, Convection Humid, Broil, Sous Vide, Bread & Pastry, Reheat, Slow Roast, Gourmet, and Gourmet+ settings. Both the 24″ and 30″ Wolf steam oven sizes feature a 1750-watt recessed broil element with four settings: low, medium, high, and convection.

A Wolf steam oven evenly distributes heat and helps retain moisture without requiring much oil or fat. This leads to better texture, appearance, and taste for just about any dish you can cook up.

The Wolf steam oven is also highly convenient. Convection steam cooking is generally faster than traditional cooking, making it ideal for one-dish meals. Multiple reheat settings restore leftovers and plated meals to perfection.
