stress free, healthy, easy & environmentally friendly cooking – could you ask for more?

What if you could have one appliance that was a microwave, steam oven and conventional oven?  V-ZUG have produced a range of steam ovens that take the stress out of cooking, reheating and baking & are the first to combine three types of heating.  Thornbury Electrics have been the authorised service agents for V-ZUG since their introduction to the WA market in 2013.

Forget soggy crusts with the “Professional baking” operating mode combining steam and hot air that is perfect for all types of pastry & bread.   It doesn’t get much easy than the “BakeOmatic function” – there is no need to enter the cooking time, temperature, operating mode or weight manually. A unique sensor  enables the Combi-Steam to automatically detect the weight size of the food before selecting the best sequence of the various operating modes – also automatically – together with precisely the required temperature and cooking time. And you also know exactly when the dish is ready to serve.  In a nutshell – V-ZUG steamer makes life easier.

How does a steam oven work? 

The steam is evenly distributed in the cooking space of a steamer. and condenses when it encounters the food. The heat energy of the steam is transferred to the food, which is gently heated, thereby retaining to a large extent the vitamins, minerals, and trace elements as well as the food’s natural flavor.
Another benefit of steam is that as soon as the food has reached the temperature of the steam, it no longer condenses, so that nothing will scorch. And it’s practically impossible to overcook food in a pressureless steamer. You can therefore steam different kinds of vegetables at the same time and they all come out perfect.

How easy is it to use?

A great deal of technology has gone into a V-ZUG steamer ensuring carefree, day-to-day cooking with perfect results.  Practical details such as a 1.25 litre water tank, enough for over two hours of cooking on high, and there is never a need to refill it. A swing arm is submerged in the water tank and draws up the water. This is how we ensure that your steamer never loses water.
V-ZUG steamers produce steam outside the cooking space in an external boiler. The advantage being that the right climate is generated in seconds, and the alternation between steam and hot air is extremely precise.
The climate sensor constantly monitors the humidity in the cooking space and controls the steam supply so that the food is gently cooked in an unparalleled manner. The climate sensor also guarantees a very low water and energy consumption.
After cooking, the residual water in the boiler is pumped back into the water tank. thus ensuring that your steamer is instantly ready for the next time.

How about cleaning?

Cleaning a V-ZUG steamers is extremely easy – one swipe with a soft cloth is all you need. Thanks to the external boiler, no limescale accumulates in the baking space and there’s practically no residual water, so that you can deal with your steamer before you eat and not afterwards.
