What's the difference between a steamer and an oven? What is the working principle?

First, the difference between a steamer and an oven is mainly reflected in the concept, function and taste of food.

1, different concepts.

Steamer is a modern cooking equipment. Using dynamic steam balance technology, the original nutritional components of food can be preserved in the cooking process. Beautiful appearance, small floor space, energy saving and large capacity, with intelligent control systems such as temperature display, pressure display, steaming time setting, voice prompt, automatic air intake and exhaust, steam regulator and so on.

Oven is a sealed electrical appliance used to bake food or dry products, which can be divided into household appliances and industrial ovens. Home ovens can be used to process some pasta. Industrial oven is a kind of equipment used for drying products in industry, which has electricity and gas, and is also called oven and drying box.

2. Different functions

This steamer is heated by steam. In addition, when the water tank is short of water, it will automatically give an alarm, which can effectively prevent dryness.

After the object is heated to the set temperature, the oven uses the heat pipe to continuously heat the object. There is hot air circulation in the oven during heating, which can make the temperature in the oven more uniform.

The food tastes different.

A steamer is used to cook steamed vegetables. Compared with the fried, fried and steamed food heated by high-temperature steam, the original molecular structure inside the food is at least destroyed, and the cooked food tastes delicious, with more nutrients such as protein and cellulose, and tastes original and not greasy.

The oven is mainly used to make baked products, cakes and baked desserts, and it is directly heated in the cavity by using heating tubes and hot air convection. Taking meat ingredients as an example, the steamed food is fresh and tender, and the oven heats it crisp outside and tender inside, which has a unique roasting flavor and taste.

Second, the working principle:

The working principle of a steamer is similar to that of a steamer. By using the self-contained water tank and the internal heating plate, the water is instantly vaporized at high temperature after water supply, and the water vapor enters the inner cavity of the steamer to heat the food.

The working principle of the oven is that far infrared, timely and ultraviolet heating tubes are directly heated in the cavity to realize baking or baking.

Extended data:

When purchasing an oven, you need to pay attention to the following points (key parameters that need attention)

1, capacity. Determine how many plates you can put at a time. This parameter is determined according to the number of people eating. However, it is recommended that you buy more than 50L products with sufficient budget and space, so that different dishes can be cooked together at the same time, which is much more convenient.

2. power. Power determines the heating speed of the oven and also determines the length of your cooking time. Generally speaking, the power of about 3000W is more suitable, and 2000W is a bit slow.

3. Temperature adjustment range. You need to consider whether the temperature adjustment range is suitable for you according to the daily application scenarios. Some people need the low-temperature insulation function, while others don't. It depends.

4. Hot air system. The hot air system can make the temperature in the oven more uniform and the cooking effect better. You should try to buy a dog hot air system machine.

5. Deodorization function. When different dishes are cooked together, it may lead to cross flavors. Some imported ovens have anti-odor function, which is more humanized.
