Steam ovens outshine air fryers in Italian kitchens

A recent feature explains that combination steam ovens, which inject controlled moisture during cooking, deliver superior results for bread, pizza, pastries and roasts compared with conventional air fryers. The steam helps dough rise and creates a crisp crust while keeping interiors moist, and the larger cavity allows multiple dishes to be prepared at once.

Meanwhile, an Electrolux 5‑liter air fryer is being promoted in Italy with a 31% discount, lowering the price to €130.90. The compact appliance handles up to 1.4 kg of fries per cycle, offers eight pre‑set programs, a 1500 W heating element and a dishwasher‑safe, non‑stick basket, aiming to provide a convenient, low‑oil cooking option for families.
