A new oven is a significant investment that you should get right. Most people choose either a speed oven or a steam oven. This article will outline everything you need to know about steam and speed ovens to help you make an informed decision.
Just as the name implies, steam ovens convert water into steam and use it in cooking. Whereas most steam ovens are designed with a removable water tank that requires refilling, there are advanced models with an inbuilt connection to a water source. In these models, steam pressure is released through a valve.
A speed oven is a convection oven, a microwave, or a combination of both components. Its ability to use a microwave in a convection oven quickens the cooking process and maintains food quality.
Speed ovens and steam ovens share some common features in convection modes. They heat faster compared to standard ovens.
The major difference between the two ovens is that steam oven uses steam and convection in cooking while speed ovens use microwave and convection.
Steam ovens can be used as standard ovens and also function better than microwaves because they preserve the food's moisture and taste. While speed ovens can replace microwaves, steam ovens cannot.
Generally, both ovens have excellent performance. Your choice depends on your kitchen space, budget, and cooking style.
