Great food, healthy cooking and ease of use are combined in the latest Miele countertop steam oven which is certain to fit into any kitchen. The DG 1450 steam oven is a freestanding countertop appliance with a width of only 50cm and requiring a rather small footprint. Technically, it is based on the previous model, the DG 1050, which earned top marks in the last steam cooker test conducted by Germany leading consumer watchdog, Stiftung Warentest in January 2007. The key difference between these countertop ovens is a contemporary and extremely simple user interface of the DG 1450 with touch controls on the glass screen for selection of temperatures and cooking times.

The AEG-Electrolux B98205M multifunction oven with steam functions cooks faster with less energy, while enhancing flavors, preserving nutrients and giving more control over surface textures. Using a steam oven greatly reduces cooking time and temperature compared to using a conventional oven, while bringing out tastes and controlling textures like no other cooking method. All because steam has a higher density than dry air and thus holds more energy permitting cooking at lower temperatures than when using hot air. The technical explanation is that when water turns into steam, it absorbs a great deal of energy. Then, when the steam condenses back into water in the oven, it transfers that heat directly to the food. As a result, 100°C steam has 6 times the heat potential of 100°C air.
