Bertazzoni steam combination ovens are compact built-in ovens, 45 cm high, that pair conventional heat with steam in a 31-litre cavity. They suit cooks who want a second oven beside a main one, or a compact oven in a tall housing, and all share the same cooking specification, so the choice comes down to style.

Total Steam cooks vegetables, fish and rice gently in moist heat, helping them keep their colour and texture. Combi-steam adds steam to fan heat, so roasts stay juicy as they brown and bread can rise well and form a crust. Convection, Turbo and Grill cover everyday oven cooking, while special functions handle proofing dough, regenerating (warming leftovers, dehydrating and defrosting) and sterilising jars or bottles. There is also a Clean function, and 15 preset auto cooking modes help with unfamiliar dishes. Controls combine knobs with a touch TFT display, the Soft Motion hinge lets the door close gently, and each oven has four shelf levels, a solid stainless steel tray and a perforated tray for steaming. All are rated A for energy efficiency.

To narrow it down, start with the look of your kitchen. The Heritage Series comes in ivory with gold, ivory with chrome or matt black for a more traditional feel, while the Pro Series comes in stainless steel or Carbonio for a sleeker, professional style. These ovens also sit within Bertazzoni steam ovens, and you can browse all Bertazzoni products to plan a coordinated kitchen around your choice.
