Bertazzoni steam ovens are 45 cm compact combi-steam ovens. They suit cooks who want steam cooking alongside, or instead of, a conventional oven without giving up a full-height housing. The models share a 31-litre net capacity and an A energy rating. You'll find them all under Bertazzoni steam combination ovens too.

Total Steam mode cooks with moisture alone, which is gentle on vegetables, fish and rice. Combi-steam adds steam to convection heat, so roasts and bread stay moist inside while the outside browns. There are also convection, grill and turbo modes, so the oven can work as an everyday second oven. Special functions cover proofing dough, sterilising, and regenerating, which includes warming, dehydrating and defrosting. If you're new to steam cooking, the 15 preset auto cooking modes are a useful starting point. You get two trays: food sits on the perforated one so steam reaches all sides, and the solid stainless steel one catches juices. There are four shelf levels. You control the oven with knobs and a touch TFT display, the door closes on a soft motion hinge, and there's a clean function for looking after the cavity.

Since the cooking specification is the same throughout, your choice comes down to style. The Heritage Series has a more traditional look and comes in Ivory / Gold, Ivory / Chrome or Matt Black. The Pro Series is more professional in style, in Carbonio or stainless steel. Choose the series that matches your other Bertazzoni appliances.
