Meet your new kitchen MVP: SMEG’s 10-in-1 Countertop Combi-Steam Oven is the secret to stress-free cooking while saving space in the kitchen.
If you love multi-functional kitchen appliances that do the heavy lifting while looking ridiculously chic, SMEG’s new oven is about to steal your heart. Say hello to the 10-in-1 Countertop Combi-Steam Oven, a retro-inspired kitchen appliance that blends style with serious cooking power. This compact kitchen gadget does it all with 10 cooking functions – from baking, to steaming, to grilling, to air frying and more.
50s-inspired design, future-forward functionality
SMEG’s signature curved aesthetic takes centre stage once again with this latest addition to the brand’s 50s Style range. Made in Italy, this combi-steam oven features a sleek, nostalgic design that echoes the iconic FAB refrigerator (fun fact: the Honeycombers team has one in our office!). Available in six stunning colours, this compact beauty is designed to suit any kitchen setup, from a minimal apartment to a sprawling villa.
10 easy functions from air-frying to roasting
Don’t let the compact size fool you, ‘cos this nifty multi-functional oven from SMEG is big on performance. This 30-litre oven is powered by SMEG’s Galileo Multicooking technology, ensuring heat is distributed evenly for precise cooking. Whether you’re air frying crispy chicken, roasting meats, or baking pastries to golden perfection, this oven’s 10 versatile functions have got you covered. Think heat maintenance, defrosting, and even Chef Mode, which offers 33 automatic recipes to take the guesswork out of cooking.
Multiple functions with two easy knobs
We were invited to give the oven a go with a baking class, so we gladly said yes. We were taken through an easy session to familiarise ourselves with the oven – and bake cookies to match the colour of the oven we were using!
How to use the SMEG Combi-Steam Oven, you ask? This minimal appliance comes with just two knobs. To get started, press the button on the left knob (the ’Start/Stop’ button) to power on the oven, then turn it to toggle between functions (symbols for functions like convection, steaming, and more will appear). Once you’re at your desired function, press the button to select it.
Next, press the button on the right knob (the ‘Set’ button), and turn it to choose your desired temperature. Press the right knob again to toggle to the timer, and turn the knob to choose your desired cooking time. Once done, give the left button another press and cooking will start. To stop, simply press and hold the ‘Start/Stop’ button to cancel the cooking process.
Bakers, here are extra tips: once you’ve selected the temperature and timing, note that the oven will automatically preheat itself for the optimal duration determined by the system. If you’re baking two trays worth of pastries, the bottom tray receives less heat, so be sure to switch the trays halfway through the cooking process, so that the bakes can be evenly cooked.
Having used it firsthand, we’d say the SMEG 10-in-1 Countertop Combi-Steam Oven is quick and easy to use. Read on for more functions of this nifty appliance!
