Viking Steam Ovens

Viking Steam Ovens at Plesser's Appliances

Viking steam ovens, available at Plesser's Appliances, combine steam with convection in a single built-in cavity, which makes them the most versatile oven in the lineup — handling bread, roasts, vegetables, and reheating.

Steam, Convection, or Both
Pure steam cooks vegetables and fish while retaining texture, color, and nutrients that boiling washes away. Convection alone works as a standard second oven. Combined, the two brown the exterior while keeping the interior moist, which is the mode most cooks end up using for roasts and baked goods. Confirm the available mode set on the current spec sheet.

Bread and Roasting Results
Controlled steam early in a bake produces real crust and an open crumb on artisan bread, and it keeps a roast browning without drying out. These are results a conventional oven cannot reliably reach, and they are why the unit tends to get used more than its owners expect.

Reheating Without Drying Out
Steam reheating brings leftovers back close to how they started rather than dried at the edges or rubbery from a microwave. For a household that cooks in batches, this changes how usable leftovers actually are — it is the feature people value most day to day.

Reservoir or Plumbed
Steam ovens are offered in reservoir or plumbed configurations, and this is the most consequential decision in the specification. A reservoir simplifies installation with no water line to rough in, but needs filling. Plumbed eliminates refilling but requires water roughed into the cabinetry before it is finished. Confirm which your model uses and its descaling requirements.

Column Integration and Installation Planning
Steam ovens stack with Viking wall ovens, microwaves, and warming drawers, with openings dimensioned together as one elevation. Installation requires a framed opening, a dedicated circuit, and for plumbed models a water supply. Talk to the team at Plesser's Appliances about column configuration, cutout dimensions, and rough-in before cabinetry is built.
