Combi-Steam Ovens: Cook the Perfect Turkey with a Push of a Button
Let’s address the turkey in the room. There’s a reason why they are usually only cooked on special occasions. It’s because turkeys require a particular amount of attention and time. They're difficult to prepare without undercooking the inside or overcooking the outside.
But what a time to be alive! With the advancement of technology, you can practically cook a turkey to perfection in your sleep (this is a figure of speech, please do not leave your cooking appliance on when sleeping).
Yes, it’s that easy! Who do we thank for making Thanksgiving turkey ridiculously easy to cook? Siegfried Meister, owner of the company that developed the first combi steam oven.

What is a Combi Steam Oven?
A combi steam oven, as implied by its name, is a combination of a convection oven and steam oven. It can alternate between convection and steam baking or roasting. This combination of oven settings is optimal for cooking the perfect turkey.
A convection oven enables even cooking of your turkey. We’ll talk more about this oven type later in the article.
A steam oven does a great job at keeping the outer turkey moist while the inside is being cooked to perfection. The moisture of the steam prevents the outside from drying out and overcooking.
However, you don’t want to keep the steam feature on for the entire time, as it can compromise the texture of the turkey. The steam setting will have to be switched off to allow a crisp and browned exterior. Easy enough right? It gets even easier!
What if you could set your combi-oven to automatically alternate between convection and steam baking or roasting for a perfectly baked turkey? Discover the possibility of stress free turkey roasting next.
Stress Free Turkey Roasting
The process of switching settings between convection and steam baking or roasting in a combi-oven can be automated. Brands such as Fisher and Paykel, Electrolux, and Dacor have pre-programmed cooking modes for dishes like turkey, chicken, fish, lasagna, and more.
When you select the Turkey Cooking Mode, the oven automatically turns on the correct settings and alternates between convection, steam, and other oven features. It relieves stress and frees up your time to do other things…except sleep.
Once it’s done cooking, you’ll have a perfectly browned and moist turkey to serve your loved ones.
Believe us when we say, cooking a turkey can be that easy. All you need is the right equipment.

Convection Ovens: The Key to Precision Baking & Roasting
Convection ovens have changed the quality of food we prepare and consume in our homes.
What is a convection oven? Why is it better than a regular oven?
Regular ovens have hot spots (top or bottom of the oven). The areas of a dish that are closest to the hotspots will cook faster than the other areas. This results in an unevenly cooked meal, where parts are browned, burnt, or undercooked.
Convection ovens are built with a fan. The purpose of this fan is to prevent hotspots from forming by blowing the heat around the oven cavity. The fan creates an even distribution of heat. Because your food receives an equal amount of heat from all directions, it cooks evenly and much faster.

Dual-Oven Ranges & Double Wall Ovens: Cut Your Cooking Time in Half
:quality(90))
Not all heroes wear capes; some cook multiple dishes for over ten people with one oven. If that’s not a superpower, we don’t know what is.
Cooking a turkey can take up to four hours. After four hours of roasting, a few more hours are added to bake your chicken, mac and cheese, pumpkin pie, and more. Some families can spend up to six hours cooking on Thanksgiving.
A range with dual ovens, or double wall ovens, can significantly cut down your cooking time. With a dual oven, the four hours of roasting a turkey can also be used to bake other meals.
Instead of five to six hours, you can do all your cooking in the same four hours. While one oven is roasting the turkey, the second is baking the other dishes. Now you can retire your superwo(man) title, because you no longer have to race against time.
Dual Oven Ranges and Double Wall Ovens are excellent options for large families who cook a lot daily. For small families who only require an extra oven on special occasions, we’ve got the perfect alternative.
Samsung’s Flex Duo: Cook More Using Less Space
Samsung’s 30-inch Wall Oven with Convection is the perfect alternative for those who only require a double oven on special occasions. It is also ideal for those with limited space.
Using the Flex Duo (aka Twin Mode), which acts as a smart divider, you can transform your single oven into two separate yet identical ovens. The Flex Duo separates the upper and lower oven temperatures, allowing you to cook two meals at once.
It works like a double oven but takes up less space. During your everyday life, you can remove the divider and use it as a single oven for your daily meals.

Warming Drawers: Preserve the Flavours
A warming drawer is what you need to maintain flavours as delightful as the dinner conversation. We can all agree that some dishes taste better when they’re hot. Hence why a warming drawer is essential for better-tasting food.
A warming drawer has a heating element separate from the oven. This cooking appliance reaches a temperature level required to maintain the warmth but never gets hot enough to overcook your prepared meals. As a result, dishes like your Mac ‘n Cheese won’t lose their fluid consistency, and your apple pie stays warm until it's time to serve dessert.
We appreciate that different homes require various solutions. If standalone ranges aren’t your style, Trail Appliances provides a variety of built-in warming drawer options.
