Your good health

Steam cooking for healthy, tasty meals no longer requires a heavy-duty appliance, guesswork and hours of cleanup after.

In line with the international trend towards healthy, flavoursome cooking, Electrolux recently won praise for its new Compact Steam Oven at the Eurocucina 2010 design fair in Milan. The powerful, modestly sized oven is big on functionality combining steam, heat and grill functions, says director John Henley.

"The Compact Steam Oven is suited to a range of cooking styles," says Henley. "Mediterranean or Asian fusion, classic or contemporary cuisine, the oven brings out the natural flavours of the food, at the same time locking in essential moisture."

Besides its designer looks, easily accommodated size, and two cooking options, the oven has other advantages.

"A useful feature is a cooking probe that lets you see when a dish is ready," says Henley. "Pre-programmed settings for favourite dishes mean all you do is input the weight of the ingredients and the Compact Steam Oven calculates cooking time and the appropriate steam input.

"This technologically advanced oven is small, high powered and easy to use."
