What does a combi oven do?
Convection mode the oven circulates dry heat, ideal for pastries and bread. Steam mode water is injected into the oven cavity to poach fish, rice and vegetables. The technology behind the combination mode which uses both dry heat and steam to allow and maintain exact humidity levels, giving you more control of food moisture levels. These can be adjusted from 0% to 100% of relative humidity; this describes the quantity of water vapour that exists in a gaseous mixture of af air and water. At 100% humidity you can cook with a high heat without burning or drying out the food products. The main benefit to a combi oven is it controls humidity inside the cavity maintaining exactly the desired atmosphere reducing shrinkage and weight loss while improving cooking times and results.
