Just like with traditional ovens, preheating is important when using a built-in steam oven. Preheating ensures that the oven reaches the desired temperature before you start cooking, resulting in more consistent and accurate cooking results. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for preheating times and temperatures. Some steam ovens have a rapid preheat function, which reduces the waiting time. Remember to always allow the oven to preheat fully before placing your food inside.
