Master the power of steam with Gaggenau

Gaggenau stands for a cultivated lifestyle, extraordinary performance and an exclusive understanding of cooking culture.
Founded as a hammer and nail smithy in the small town of Gaggenau in 1683, Gaggenau’s style-forming built-in appliances have been meeting the professional expectations of real connoisseurs since 1879.
The Gaggenau difference
At every stage of a Gaggenau appliance's production, a craftsperson examines for imperfections using both hand and eye. In over 330 years of constant change, Gaggenau have learned that there are only three sacred constants in the production of the exceptional: the vision of the designer, the quality of materials used and the skills of the craftsperson.
Gaggenau appliances are designed to inspire the private chef to create masterpieces as accomplished as those emerging from the professional kitchen.
Touches of genius

Gaggenau have relentlessly refined the use of steam, having introduced it into the private kitchen twenty years ago. Their latest combi-steam ovens offer adjustable automatic programmes and exceptionally accurate temperature control, allowing the private chef to master the power of steam, free from constraints. The enlarged cavity conceals a full surface grill behind glass for ease of both cleaning and aesthetics. Look further and even more details become apparent.
The new combi-steam oven is made ever more desirable by a host of exciting innovations.
Each of Gaggenau’s 400 Series steam ovens will more than satisfy the most demanding of chefs, with reassuring professional characteristics at every turn. Touch the screen and the handleless door that sits proud of the surface, calmly opens as much as 180º wide.
With four different humidity levels which can be combined with temperatures of up to 230 °C, these ovens can do everything. Steaming, baking, simmering, braising, regenerating, extracting juice, grilling and browning, plus a fully automatic cleaning system that can be easily operated at the push of a button.
The combi-steam ovens boast a sous-vide cooking function as well as the addition of a vacuuming drawer. Water tanks have been enlarged and made more accessible to alert the chef when they require attention.
The 3-point core temperature sensor measures the temperature inside your dish to within one degree of accuracy, and even revises the cooking times as the dish is cooking. The solid stainless steel rotary knobs provide intuitive control over the TFT display.
