About DeSh~Stoom
Delicious, high-quality homemade bread with a thin, crispy crust and a soft, airy interior? STEAM!
With DeSh~Stoom, you’ll always have bakery-quality bread at home!
However, many home bakers don’t have a way to safely create steam in an oven or microwave-oven combo.
DeSh~Stoom turns any home oven into a professional steam oven.
Who hasn’t burned themselves when pouring water into the oven? No more unsafe workarounds or hassle with:
-Clumsy glass or porcelain bowls and baking tins filled with water and (lava) stones, screws, etc., are useless. The water you pour in won’t evaporate any faster because the material cools down quickly when water hits it, resulting in little to no effect. It takes too long to start steaming, and then the steaming lasts too long. Often, the red-hot bowl is removed after 10/20 minutes. This is unsafe and causes significant heat loss in your oven because the door stays open.
-The well-known spray bottle leaves dents in the crust and results in a hard crust because the steam duration is too short. Opening the oven door (to use the spray bottle) also causes a lot of heat loss.
-Ice cubes evaporate instantly and have no effect.
These workarounds don’t just damage your oven, with all the negative consequences that follow (warping, rust, dents, and cracks in the bottom plate) or cause glass and porcelain bowls to shatter—they also fail to deliver the best baking results.
I’ve tried all these workarounds myself, and as a bread baker, none of them gave me the results I wanted. After about 2 years of development, this is the final result, and I’m very proud of it.
DeSh~Stoom offers home bakers a safe, durable, and simple solution that works!
It’s essential that moisture is added at the start of the baking process, for about 4 to 5 minutes.
DeSh~Stoom provides steam at the start of the baking process. It starts steaming after just a few seconds. After about 4 to 5 minutes, DeSh~Stoom has steamed dry. DeSh~Stoom maintains its temperature thanks to the material and pre-heating.
Preheat the oven thoroughly, including the DeSh~Stoom, pour water onto the DeSh~Stoom up to the raised edge, and DeSh~Stoom does the rest. These simple steps ensure your homemade bread stays crispy and tender for longer. DeSh~Stoom can be placed at any height in the oven.
The unique material and design ensure the bread gets exactly the right amount of steam at the right time. It’s also great for Sunday morning rolls. Thanks to the special material, DeSh~Stoom is suitable for ovens, microwave-oven combos, barbecues (gas and charcoal), and pizza or wood-fired ovens. DeSh~Stoom is heat-resistant up to 1,200 degrees.
DeSh~Stoom is safe, compact, and very easy to use. The only requirement for the best results is that DeSh~Stoom must be well preheated (preheat at 220 to 250 degrees). Follow the recommended baking temperature when baking.
DeSh~Stoom is a cast rectangular container made of a unique ceramic refractory material, consisting of several unique components. No unnatural substances have been added. As a result, DeSh~Stoom is safe and officially TNO-approved for food preparation. The dimensions are approximately 16 cm by 8 cm. The height is 2.75 cm to 4 cm. DeSh~Stoom is very sturdy, stays in place, and is therefore safe to work with. The top and sides are polished. The bottom is unpolished, which ensures DeSh~Stoom stays firmly in place in the oven and doesn’t slide around. Due to its size, DeSh~Stoom doesn’t take up too much space, leaving plenty of room in the oven for the products being baked.
DeSh~Stoom can always be left in the oven.
