The science behind better baking
Good baking is an art. Great baking is a science. To create a masterpiece, adding steam is as important as each stroke of your pastry brush. This is because water molecules conduct heat faster than hot air, so cook more thoroughly. With just a touch of a button, our SteamBake oven adds a perfect amount of steam to your baking in three simple steps. This leads to bigger, quicker rises and caramelisation for thicker crusts.

Add steam to your salmon
Spare your salmon the poaching pot, choose steam. When you cook salmon in a SteamBoost oven, the gentle cooking keeps it beautifully tender and prevents it from drying out. The results are instantly noticeable. Steam helps preserve your food's natural colour. With that fresh shade of orange it looks as good as it tastes.
Why cook sous vide?
In our SteamPro® ovens with sous vide, you can achieve results that are impossible in a normal oven. Vacuum sealed bags slow oxidation, preserving flavour. Temperature is maintained within a half-degree range. This precision gives you mouthwatering flavour and results you can recreate time after time. Sous vide may be an advanced technique, but AEG makes it easy.
Master the methods
Low-temperature cooking is your secret weapon when creating mouth-watering dishes. Top chef and Tasteology expert Catalina Vélez explains that when you cook at a low temperature, steam and heat combine to slow cook your ingredients. This ensures your food preserves delicious flavour, important moisture and nutritional goodness. So you can enjoy dishes that melt in your mouth.

SPACE & LOCATION
Start by measuring your space. All ovens require at least 60 cm of width while height requirements can vary. See which oven you can select based on the following heights:
72-80 cm – a large capacity oven or a double oven
60 cm – a single standard size oven
45 cm – compact ovens fit neatly into a smaller space
Top-tip: You can save space without compromising on functionality. A compact microwave oven allows you to cook, grill, re-heat or defrost any dish with the same results as a larger oven.
CAPACITY
If you have a big household or entertain often, you probably need an oven that can cope with cooking larger meals. Oven capacity is measured in litres.
70+ litres – perfect for a bigger household of four or more
40 – 70 litres – best suited to a house of three to four
35 – 40 litres – ideal to cook for one to two people
Top-tip: Select an oven with extra shelf positions - this allows more dishes to be cooked at the same time.
Restaurant Results at Home
