Steam Oven Recipes You Can Trust
Steam ovens have been in home kitchens for over twenty-five years, but reliable recipes, guides and troubleshooting written for home cooks (not professional chefs) are still hard to find. Steam & Bake exists to close that gap.
Here you’ll find tested steam, combi steam and convection steam oven recipes, plain-English answers to your steam oven questions, and the confidence to actually use the appliance you paid good money for.
New to steam ovens? Find out how to understand different types of steam ovens; I break down the jargon and explain what it all means.
Don’t have a steam oven? Most recipes on this site include conventional oven or stovetop instructions too, so you’re covered either way.
What you’ll find here
- Everyday family dinners that also happen to be steam oven recipes
- A serious amount of baking and sweet treats (steam ovens are made for this)
- Guides on settings, functions, cookware and troubleshooting
- Recipe roundups and meal plans for steam oven owners
- My flagship membership, Steam Oven Insiders, for those who want more content, more access to me, and no ads.
Every recipe here is something I’ve actually cooked and eaten. When a recipe is inspired by someone else’s work, I credit it. All photography is © Emily Rhodes / Steam & Bake unless otherwise noted — please don’t republish without permission.

How it started
Years ago, I worked as a home economist for a global kitchen appliance company, teaching people how to use their new appliances and developing recipes to showcase them. That’s a real job, I promise!
Through that work, I noticed something: buyers of every combi steam oven brand felt lost when they got their new ovens. They didn’t know how to adapt their own recipes to the technology, and there wasn’t much help out there. So I started writing and sharing steam oven recipes and articles myself, and Steam & Bake grew from there.
I live in sunny Western Australia with my husband, three kids, our floofy black-and-white dog and our tiny Burmese cat with a very big personality. When I’m not cooking or wrangling a house full of boys, I’m usually planning the next garden or renovation project for our 1950s fixer-upper.
I love hearing from readers — reach me via the contact page, Facebook or Instagram. With the volume of reader mail these days, I can’t always reply, but I read every message personally.
Good to Know
A note on recipe compatibility
Every steam oven brand handles operation, technology and steam capacity a little differently, so no single recipe can perfectly match every model. Steam & Bake recipes are designed to work across combi steam ovens with minor tweaks to function and timing — and often adapt to straight steam ovens or stovetop steamers too. Stuck on a setting? Contact us and we’ll help you troubleshoot.
