Are those foods the type of thing this oven is designed for? They do seem similar to what they tout on their Amazon listing, but when I think of superheated steam in an oven, I'm thinking about bread, or pizza from scratch. Not a countertop steamer. A typical steamer can only get the steam up to 100C, since the heating element is below the liquid water. But a steamer makes up for this in cook time because of all the convection happening. Whereas a steam oven has, I think, way less convection, but after it boils the water to make steam, that steam is further heated. Their Amazon listing mentions chicken and frozen pizza. I. I just don't get it. That's not what I would want one of these for.

I think this is not the same as combi-oven, the combi-oven can adjust the percentage of steam and control the oven temperature separately; however the technology that used in Sharp Superheated Steam Countertop Oven, is to create Superheated Steam that can give the similar result as boil, grill or air-fry. Since it use the steam, it can also retained more moisture compared to traditional cooking method.

How to turn your regular convection oven into a DIY steam oven: 1. Preheat your convection oven with a cast iron skillet in it. 2. Separately boil few cups of water 3. Put your food into the oven 4. Pour boiling hot water into the skillet and put everything inside the oven 5. Bake your food as you would normally do 6. Enjoy

I've never heard of this kind of oven and now I can see why. Anyway steaming is so simple in a pot on the stove, and if you are going to use an appliance to do it, you can steam in a basket in a rice cooker, which is a more useful and much smaller appliance. The steam oven looks like an answer in search of a question.

So its an expensive modern cooking device that does a shitty job. So whats new- I mean you people in the West invented a highly wasteful and polluting product like Keurig coffee which isnt any better than standard brewed coffee with powder, and pay more for it

First - thank you for your comparisons. Second - the protein is very close to the burners in the steam oven and very far away in the conventional oven. This may be why the oven-roasted chicken breast was 'spotty' compared to the steam oven.

Um, I know nothing about this cooker or this vegetable but why would you put a big ass vege into any cooker like that and expect it to be cooked thoroughly in 30 minutes? Even in an oven. why did you not cut it in half at least!

Honestly, I dont see a use in a special unit like this, especially at this price point but I also want one because it reminds me of a special steam oven in Japan thats perfect for breads, fishes, cheesecakes, etc.

These tests are pointless. Why would you compare the performance of different appliances in a way other than they were intented to be used. C'mon who would even consider eating that steamed chicken at 4: 00?

For the taros, she should have use the highest temp available instead of 350. For the pizza, should just use the non-steam setting with the steam oven if a crispy crust is the desired outcome.
