DeSh~Stoom Oven Steamer for a Crusty Loaf

BakeryBits is the exclusive UK distributor for the DeSh~Stoom. It's simple, very effective and makes an ideal gift for the keen home baker.

Instructions for use:

DeSh~Stoom is only for products that require steam when baking in an oven, combination microwave when used as an oven, grill or barbecue (gas and charcoal). If you have a fan oven, try to turn the fan off for best effects.

DeSh~Stoom in an oven or combination-microwave used as an oven:

Rinse with lukewarm water before using DeSh~Stoom for the first time. Dry thoroughly. DeSh~Stoom can now be placed anywhere in the oven although the bottom of the oven will give the best results. Pre-heat the oven to between 220C and 250C. When the oven has reached the desired temperature continue to preheat for about 20/30 minutes so that DeSh~Stoom will retain its heat for longer. After this step reduce the oven temperature to the recommended baking temperature. The product for baking can now be placed in the oven.
PLEASE NOTE! The pre-heating temperature may not be the same as the baking temperature.

Carefully fill DeSh~Stoom with cold/lukewarm/hot water up to the upright edge of the DeSh. Close the oven door. After a few seconds DeSh~Stoom will give off steam and become completely empty after 4 to 5 minutes.

For even more crisp results, open the oven door in the last 1 to 2 minutes.

DeSh~Stoom for a barbecue:

Rinse with lukewarm water before using DeSh~Stoom for the first time. Dry thoroughly.

DeSh~Stoom can now be placed on the baking tray of the barbecue.

Preheat the barbecue between 220C and 250C. When the barbecue has reached the desired temperature continue to preheat for about 20/30 minutes so that DeSh~Stoom will retain its heat for longer. After this reduce the barbecue temperature to the recommended baking temperature. The product can now be placed in the barbecue for baking. If necessary bake for a shorter period than the recommended baking time.

Try out DeSh~Stoom a few times to discover which settings suit your oven, combi microwave or barbecue and the baking time that best suits your personal taste.

Over time:

The DeSh~Stoom is likely to become discoloured as it comes into contact with flour etc and residues in the tap water. It is a normal, natural process that can't be avoid and makes no difference to its operation.

The DeSh~Stoom measures just 16cm x 8cm
