The CircoSteam Oven

With healthy eating high on everyone's agenda, steam cooking has become an increasingly popular option in the kitchen.

Our latest advanced steam combination CircoSteam ovens C47C62 and C47C22 allow you to combine hot air cooking and steaming at the same time. This means you can prepare all sorts of foods - bread, meat and fish, for example - keeping them beautifully moist on the inside, but satisfyingly crispy on the outside. There's also a standard steam oven C47D22 which can be mixed and matched with other Neff compact cooking appliances.

Neff steam ovens will cook meals that not only taste good, but are good for your health. As well as sealing in all the vitamin and mineral content of fresh food, steaming also preserves natural flavours, so less salt is required. Wonderfully easy to use and clean, they're versatile and highly energy efficient too, able to cook a whole range of fresh meals at low temperatures.

Of course, our steam ovens feature Neff's distinctive styling and stainlesssteel finish, so they'll co-ordinate perfectly with the other Neff appliances in your kitchen.
