Superb results from combi cooking Built-in combi microwave ovens feature the singular or combined use of a microwave, grill and oven. While a traditional microwave only works using water molecules in food that heat as they vibrate, a combi-oven integrates the microwave with the fans and grill to cook complex dishes like roasts in shorter times, hence saving on electricity.

An evolution of the traditional electric oven, in addition to the grill, multifunction ovens feature fans that circulate the air, allowing food to cook evenly. The type of cooking can be chosen depending on the food and recipe. Built-in multifunction ovens incorporate several cooking systems, some of which are highly evolved like the refractory stone and rotisserie, or specific cooking programs to bake bread and pizza.

Cooking on a spit is one of the oldest and healthiest methods in the world. The rotisserie was the forefather of kitchen appliances, the first mechanical tool to lend a helping hand to the cooking of roasted meats. According to late medieval records, the rotisserie rod was the natural extension of the iron spears sharpened to hunt large animals. Other documents state 1450 as the year in which the mechanical arm became the French rotisserie. Even Leonardo da Vinci, a culinary connoisseur, had a mechanical spit roast among his inventions: a skewer with rotating propellers that turned with the heat from the flames. Meat is still roasted, leisurely turning over the source of heat, until it becomes perfectly browned all over.

Chefs have loved steam cooking for years because it maintains the flavours, aromas and consistency of ingredients. Doughs are soft inside and crispy on the outside due to the humidity of the air and fewer condiments are needed than in traditional cooking methods. This type of oven combines steaming and traditional ways of cooking to achieve the roasting and crispiness that make dishes even more delectable. The combi steam ovens recommended by Officine Gullo include multiple combined cooking functions as well as a customizable and pre-selected recipe collection.

Warming drawers are a multifunctional appliance that can be used for various functions due to adjustable temperatures between 40 and 80°C: preheating dishes; keeping food at the right temperature prior to serving; achieve perfect leavening; or even cooking at low temperatures.
