Self-cleaning pyrolytic
Pyrolytic ovens will heat up to 500°C, reducing dirt to a fine ash that you can simply wipe away with a cloth.
Catalytic
Catalytic liners make cleaning easier by absorbing grease spills. And by heating the oven to 200°C or higher, the grease is then oxidised leaving the surface clean. Something good to keep in mind is that catalytic oven liners, come in two options: Replaceable and non-replaceable. The reason this is important is because catalytic liners lose their cleaning effectiveness over time. So, for an oven that has replaceable catalytic liners, all you need to do is to replace the liners. But for an oven that has catalytic liners that are not replaceable, once the catalytic liners lose their effectiveness, you will have to buy an entirely new oven.

Dough proving
Many steam ovens have a helpful bread baking function that applies just the right amount of steam to make sure that the bread's surface is kept supple, so that the dough can rise for longer, helping you get the delicious results you desire.
Capacity

35 – 40 litres – Just right for one or two people
