It's full steam ahead this January!

What does January mean to you?

Perhaps it’s finally signing up to that yoga class you’ve been meaning to attend, or maybe it’s about getting organised and having a good de-clutter? I know lots of people who are trying Veganuary too, and even more who are attempting the Zero-Waste challenge. To me, January is a fresh start. The perfect opportunity to begin clean eating, practising self-care and living a healthier lifestyle. And, I have all the best intentions for this to last longer than January. It’s just a really good time to begin, right? Without sounding too clichéd - it’s out with the old, and in with the new. So clichéd.

I love to meal plan and prep. It gives me a positive focus and I really enjoy discovering new recipes to try out. However, (and I’m sure I’m not alone in this) it’s often hard to find the time to cook something that’s delicious AND super healthy - we're all just too busy. Cooking definitely unwinds me after work but sometimes just bunging something in the oven is the easiest option. That doesn’t sound very ‘new year, new me’ though, does it?

So, what advice have I given myself and can pass on to you?

That’s simple….steam!

With Siemens combi-steam ovens and steamers you cook gently and naturally. The hot steam keeps flavours, vitamins and minerals in the food, and foods retain their natural appearance. Only hot steam is used to cook the food in the steam cooker, so vegetables stay firm and potatoes don't become overcooked and start to fall apart.

Combi-ovens are also very practical, because if you don't have much time but still want to eat well, Siemens steam and combi-steam ovens make it easy to warm up pre-prepared food. The steam quickly heats vegetables, while leaving them crisp and flavoursome. Cook with steam, bake and roast with hot air, or do both with Siemens steam ovens .

The innovative combination of steam and hot air makes them ideal not only for meat, fish and vegetables, but also for bread, cake and roasts. Siemens steam ovens are the healthy alternative to conventional ovens. And, in electric food steam ovens there is no unpleasant taste and odour transfer, so you can make several dishes at once in the same oven.

They also add a modern design statement to contemporary or traditional living spaces. We’re Siemens dealers and are more than happy to discuss these appliances in your design consultation.
