Some friends of ours recently needed new wall ovens, and asked for my 2 cents when they were doing their research. After looking online at a number of sites, I came to the conclusion that they'd be crazy (given their means) not to get a steam oven. But of course that opinion was just from what I'd read. Happy to say I was soooooo right. We had dinner at their house last night and the Wolf steam/convection oven was just AMAZING. I was basically standing in front of it drooling. The rolls and shrimp she cooked in it were the most tender, delicious versions of those foods I've ever had. Literally.

So I just figured I'd mention it in case anyone considers steam as an option as part a kitchen renovation, etc. at some point. Even after all the glowing reports that I'd read, I was blown away by how super cool (and functional) it is.

Lots of my friends have them and I often think I should have sprung for one when we remodeled. Next time.

As a moderator I am sorely tempted to delete this post, especially because we are 'considering' re-doing the kitchen... :twisted: :roll: :o :shock: :lol: :?

I don't think there are any more emoticons that apply................

Bill, all I can say is that the rolls were absolutely the best I've ever eaten -- completely done inside and browned on all sides/top/bottom but still incredibly soft. In my 56 years of bread experience, I've never been so wowed. But delete away if you must! ;)

Cuisinart makes a portable steam oven that is getting rave reviews for those of us who aren't in the market for a remodel.

I took a cooking class with a Sharp steam oven (3500 CND) and it was pretty dreamy. Smallish though, I'd need another oven in the house for big birds.
