More than 20 years ago, Gaggenau first brought the steam oven into the home with the 400 series. The latest updates to the series include a wide range of ovens, combi-steam ovens, combi-microwaves, culinary warming drawers and vacuuming drawers.
The 400 series has five humidity levels and exact electronic temperature control between 30 and 230 degrees Celsius. It has advanced features that include a three-point core temperature probe, which revises the cooking times as the dish progresses, and automatic programs. The doors are handle-free and opened by a simple touch of the intuitive TFT touch display.
The new 400 series combi-steam oven includes a full-surface grill hidden behind ceramic glass; glare-free, emotive lighting through invisible LEDs; and the addition of a multicore temperature probe, among other updates.
Typically used in catering and professional kitchens, combi-steam ovens can produce both dry and moist heat. The units are said to be a healthier way to cook and have risen in popularity. Gaggenau says it was the first company to introduce the combi-steam to consumers in 1999.
