Combi steam oven recipes and information I About | Steam and Bake

About Steam & Bake

Despite the enormous increase in availability and advances in technology over the past few years, as far as combi steam ovens are concerned, there aren’t nearly enough websites or cookbooks out there with normal steam oven recipes for home cooks.

This site was created to help fill that void in combi steam recipes and to answer common questions about these great appliances.

I hope you’ll find inspiration, support and ideas to make you a more confident steam oven cook. Most of the recipes aren’t fancy, they’re just good everyday family dishes, the things I make and eat at home with my family.

If you have no idea what a steam oven (or combination steam or convection steam) oven is, read this post.

If you don’t have a combi steam oven but you like my recipes, most can be made in a regular oven or on the stovetop.

All the recipes here are for things I’ve made and eaten, and photos are mine unless otherwise credited. Please don’t republish or use content from this site without permission (I’ll generally give it if you ask nicely!).

About me

I’m Emily Rhodes: food writer and steam oven tragic. I’ve been cooking since I worked out how to climb onto the bench as a 2 year old, and working in the food industry for more than 20 years.

These days I’m a free agent, putting my years of writing and marketing for food businesses to good use as a food copywriter, ghostwriter and recipe developer. So as well as my regular ramblings and recipes here, you’ll find me helping foodie businesses all over the world to articulate whatever it is that makes them special. If you’re interested in learning more about my writing, or you’re looking for a food or appliances copywriter, head over to www.emily-rhodes.com.

Wondering how I came to be the proud parent of a website solely devoted to steam ovens?

Once upon a time, more years ago than I care to remember, I was employed as a home economist by a global kitchen appliances company, teaching consumers how to select and use their kitchen appliances, and developing recipes to show off the company’s brands and products. I did some (ok, a lot of) digging around and found that buyers of ALL brands of steam and combi steam ovens seemed to be under confident when it came to getting started with using their appliances, and altering recipes to suit the technology.

I live in sunny Western Australia, and have a lovely husband, two gorgeous kids and two highly strung cats. If I’m not working, blogging or wasting time on Instagram, you’ll find me deep in domestic bliss (or hell, depending on the day).

I love hearing from readers! Email emily[at]steamandbake[dot]com, or head over to the blog’s facebook page or instagram and send me a message. If I don’t respond immediately, it’s not because I’m being rude – I get a LOT of reader emails and although I read every single one, I just can’t reply to every email (I’d never have time to create new recipes or content for you!).

Disclaimer about my steam oven recipes

Every manufacturer makes different appliances in terms of operation, technology and steam control/capacity, so it’s impossible to write recipes which cover every variation across the brands. With minimal tweaking of oven functions and cooking times, my recipes should work in any combi steam oven (and often in a ‘straight’ steam oven or a stovetop steamer). See the Steam & Combi-Steam Info page if you’re stuck, or feel free to contact me via email or facebook and I’ll help if I can.

A note about affiliate links

Occasionally I include affiliate links in posts, and there are several on my resources page. If you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, I receive a (very) small percentage of that purchase price from the seller (you don’t pay anything extra, don’t worry!). It’s a tiny amount of money, generally only a few cents, but it goes some way to offsetting the growing costs of running this website. I only ever link to products I have used and can recommend.
