My kitchen designer says I need a STEAM OVEN! Do I?

Question

He says to get a Miele steam oven.
I am not sure what brands that there are exactly and why it is better than other ovens.
He says to use it instead of a microwave!
I use both of my microwaves every day, several times a day.
Any advice anyone can give me on this will be helpful.
Thanks!

It seems that steam ovens are quite expensive. The one your designer suggested has a price of $2200.00.

After skimming through the article at the site I listed. I think they'd be nice, but I probably wouldn't use one all that much.

I guess it depends on what you use your microwave for. If you use them for cooking, then maybe the steam oven would be good since microwaves tend to be uneven in their heating and sometimes dry food out.

Answer 2

Ask him this, is he asking you to get it for your convenience or his? How many of us in this world can go thru a day without using a Microwave? Realistically?

Answer 3

It seems like a healthy way of cooking.
Bosch, Smeg, AEG, Kleenmaid or Miele?
What is the difference?

Do you have an oven?
Then you can cook.
Do you have a pot, plate, food?
Then you can eat.

Why is it people think they need so much stuff??
It's just, STUFF.
Of course you don't "need" it. You need air. You need water. You need to keep your body's temperature at a set level; you do not, need, a 'steam oven'.
