Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove Showroom Chef Michelle Meshberger recognized this food trendâs growing popularity, saying, "Once people experience steam cooking, itâs a game changer. There are home cooks of every ability who never considered cooking this way. Now, they canât imagine their life without it.â
Cooking with steam does require specialized equipment. While countertop steamers have offered passable performance in the past, todayâs discerning home cooks have found the level of precision and versatility they need in full-size appliances like the Wolf Convection Steam Oven.
âWith the combination of steam and convection in one full-size oven, the possibilities are endless,â says Chef Michelle. âFrom everyday tasks of reheating leftovers to preparing special-occasion steaks sous vide, weâve heard time and time again that the Wolf Convection Steam Oven often becomes the most used appliance in ownersâ kitchens."
Here are just a few ways this multi-function appliance can elevate al fresco dinner parties, casual picnics with friends and family, and lazy lunches this summer.
A Fresh Take on the Veggie Tray
Often playing second fiddle to a mountain of grilled meat, itâs no wonder snoozy vegetable platters are often overlooked. Itâs time summerâs fresh abundance receives the attention and glow up we all deserve. Satisfying crisp, fresh finds from the local farmersâ market can make up the majority of the spread, and consider adding steamed veggies to your cruditĂ© platter for a little je ne sais quoi. Arrange snappy peas and vine-ripe tomatoes with sugar-sweet steamed carrots or creamy red potatoes to delight your guests with a mouthwatering mix of textures and flavors. Requiring little to no fat to prepare, produce that is steam cooked in the Wolf Convection Steam Oven keeps its texture and flavor. Itâs a delicious yet low-fat way to enjoy summerâs bounty. For a finishing touch, add a dollop of garlicky aioli and let the dipping and snacking commence.
Steam-Baked Bread for a Perfect Picnic
Often, the only difference between a drab loaf and a glossy, golden one is the way it is baked. Steam is key in crafting a loaf with that desirable chewy crust and tender crumb. Emulating steam ovens used by professional bakers, the Wolf Convection Steam Oven excels at creating this ideal environment for baguettes, croissants, and other baked delights. Use steam to make a simple yet delicious steam-baked loaf the star of any picnic. Then douse it with olive oil. Smear it with jam. Top it with cured meats and artisanal cheese. Or keep it simple; a pat of butter and sprinkle of sea salt is all this perfectly baked loaf needs.
The Best Way to Reheat Leftovers
At the end of one of those unforgettable meals out, do you ever tote a bag of just-too-good-to-leave-behind leftovers home with you? Next time that happens, and you look to reheat your meal, ditch the microwave. Unlike zaps from a microwave, which can dry out food, the Wolf Convection Steam Oven gently rehydrates food with the help of steam. Then, convection heat transforms the soggy memory into a crisp delight. It ensures your leftovers are as flavorful, moist, and fresh as the night before.
