If only there was an appliance out there that could cook my entire meal without shriveling it up.
Oh, wait, there is.
Its called a combi oven.
What is a combi oven?
Combi is short for combination.
You might also see the combi oven called a combi cooker, multicooker, or combi steamer.
Similarly to the air fryers history, combi ovens have been in use in commercial kitchens for ages.
How does a combi oven work?
Steam injection can help maintain moisture in the cooking area or introduce more.
(Maybe Im the only one who thinks like that?)
Anyway, Ive tried it, and its not the same, sorry.
The convection winds just blow the moisture around; in this case, technology really has the upper hand.
Steam rice, boil an egg, cook a whole casserole, make a souffle.
you’re free to even get sous-vide-like results and moisture levels in your large cuts of meat.
The price.Well, its not as bad as it used to be.
The size.Combi ovens made for the countertop arent very big.
