why steam cooking is so healthyMore flavour, more vitamins: Dishes from the Miele steam oven are a feast for the senses. Above all the intense, pure flavours and the pleasant al dente consistency of the food will please you again and again. The principle of steam cooking is as simple as it is effective: food is gently enveloped in hot steam. The immediate exchange of heat ensures rapid cooking without the need for heating-up time. The food is not immersed in water and so retains flavour and vitamins, reducing the loss of nutrients. A steam oven with its gentle cooking method is particularly suitable for delicate foods such as tender vegetables and fish, but also for meat and potatoes.
