ALL ABOUT THAT TASTE

Dry heat, when combined with steam, makes all the difference in your food. While the dry heat helps to achieve crispy edges, the steam helps to seal in natural moisture, producing a variety of tasty and succulent dishes – from meat to vegetables, and even desserts. This deluxe combi-steam oven from Electrolux features 16 cooking functions for versatility, as well as an Ultrafan Plus that helps to cook dishes evenly.

The Electrolux EOB8857AAX Steam Oven retails for $4,199 at authorised retailers.
