OVEN MODE QUICK GUIDE

INSIDE YOUR OVEN

This oven is about more than setting a temperature and cook time and hoping everything turns out. Utilizing steam, convection, or a combination of the two, the chef-tested modes in your Convection Steam Oven offer a diverse collection of nuanced cooking environments, ideally suited for any and every dish you can imagine. Equipped with Wolfs hallmark superior heat transfer, your oven will craft food that tastes more delicious and more flavorful time and time again.

HOW IT WORKS

Steam Cooking

Steam offers the opportunity to cook in ways you simply can’t recreate in a traditional oven. The water molecules conduct heat— and transfer it to food—with greater efficiency than air. As a result, food cooks quickly and evenly, without added fat. Instead of drying out, food stays moist. Plus, steam offers the benefit of precision; you can dial it down to the degree.

HOW IT WORKS

Convection Cooking

Convection is the circulation of warm air around the cavity of an oven. It consistently warms and distributes the air, efficiently transferring heat to food, reducing hot and cool spots, and enables multi-rack cooking (without needing to rotate pans). The result is shorter cooking time and more consistent all-over browning.

FOOD SCIENCE 101

The Maillard Reaction

At Wolf, we talk a lot about consistent browning.

Why7 Because browning is the foundation of flavor development. In the culinary and food science worlds, that browning is known as the Maillard reaction: the chemical change that occurs when amino acids and reducing sugars are exposed to heat. That reaction develops new compounds and color for more flavorful, delicious food.

CONVECTION

Your oven’s cooking modes are a collection of programs developed by Wolf chefs. Modes create custom cooking environments for specific foods. Based on the selected mode, the oven monitors, controls, and adjusts the temperature, airflow, steam, and humidity in the cavity. Bake something light and fluffy, slow roast something crisp and tender, even rejuvenate last night’s leftovers—you can do it all with the modes you find here. Learn which mode is best for each scenario or dish and you can practically guarantee success.

Yes, you can steam vegetables with this mode, but it can do so much more. You can poach, prepare rice, beans, and pasta precisely to your taste, and even safely defrost frozen foods.

The awe-inspiring feature of this mode is its ability to dial to an exact temperature—right down to the degree. You’ll soon discover how sous vide can change the way you cook, making meals simpler, better, and repeatable time and time again.

When in doubt of what mode to use, one of the convection modes—Convection, Convection Steam, and Convection Humid —is a good starting point. The turbulent warm air of convection benefits most foods, while steam and humidity add even more versatility.

No guesswork here. Simply place your desired dish in the oven, select the cooking agenda from the intuitive menu, and Gourmet Mode does the rest.

Optimizing cook time, temperature, and humidity throughout the cooking process, the oven automatically cooks several different categories of fresh, refrigerated, or frozen foods.

From seared steak to caramelizing the top of creme brulee, the intense radiant heat from the broil element provides the finishing touch required for many recipes.

This mode recreates the ovens that professionals use, creating cafe-quality pastries and breads worthy of a boulangerie.

PROOF

This mode provides the low, controlled heat required to ensure the correct rise of baked goods.

SLOW ROAST

Creating impressive roasts has never been so easy. Simply select the cut, doneness, and desired serving time, and you’ll have dinner on the table exactly when and how you want it.

WELLNESS

Gently warm towels, stones, wraps, and grapeseed cushions for an invigorating at-home spa treatment.

CLEANSE

Safely clean baby bottles and pacifiers for little ones. Or, if you are a passionate preserver, steam clean jars and lids for your homemade jams and jellies.

WARM

The answer for for mistimed meals and latecomers alike. Convection heat ensures everything is served hot, holding food at its ready-to-eat temperature.

Steam Mode

FOR SO MUCH MORE THAN BROCCOLI

The common misconception about steam cooking is that it’s for cooking vegetables, period. This chapter will prove that nothing could be further from the truth. Steam provides a simple and effective way of preparing a nearly endless menu of foods.

The key to Steam Mode’s versatility is its ability to operate at a range of temperatures. While water reaches its boiling point at 212°F sea level, steam can be captured and held inside the oven at temperatures far below that—in fact, all the way down to 86°F.

Regardless of which temperature you use or what food you prepare, there are a few useful tips when using Steam Mode. First, don’t bother preheating. There is no real benefit to preheating the oven, so place the food inside before starting the oven —it gets food on the table that much sooner. Second, make use of the perforated pan included with the oven. The perforations let steam envelope the food evenly. Third, when using the perforated pan, place the solid pan (also included) on the rack position underneath. It acts as a convenient drip collector, easing cleanup.

HOW TO USE STEAM MODE

The easiest way to understand the Steam Mode is to break down the temperature range into three tiers:

90 DEGREES190 DEGREES210 DEGREES
Using a low, gentle heat, 90°F provides a safe, easy, and relatively swift way of defrosting chicken, chops, or steaks, and with better results than a microwave oven.The perfect temperature for soft-poaching delicate fillets of fish, shrimp, eggs, or fruit (like pears).Think of this like a pot of water on the stove. Anything you would boil, you can cook at this temperature: vegetables, hard-boiled eggs, ears of corn, sausages to par-cook prior to grilling.

PREPARATION METHOD

1. Combine all ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer. With the dough hook in place, mix on low until the dough begins to come together. Increase the speed to medium-low and continue mixing for 7 minutes. If the dough seems dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time; conversely, if the dough seems too moist and is not pulling away from the sides of the mixing bowl, add a teaspoon of all-purpose flour at a time. 2. Remove dough from mixing bowl; place inside a lightly oiled, rigid container. Cover with plastic wrap or damp towel. Let dough proof until doubled in size, about 90 minutes. 3. Remove dough from the proofing container and place on the counter. Divide dough into two equal portions; shape each portion into a log. 4. Divide each log into 10 equal pieces (20 total). Roll each piece into a ball and place on a lightly floured counter. Cover with plastic wrap or warm damp towels; let proof for 15 minutes. 5. One at a time, roll out 10 of the doughballs into three-inch rounds; lightly brush top with oil and fold each round in half. Reserve the remaining 10 pieces of dough. 6. Grease a perforated pan with non-stick spray. Place buns onto greased perforated pan. Cover with a warm towel; let proof for 15 minutes. 7. While the first batch is proofing, roll, shape, and proof the remaining 10 doughballs. 8. Place the perforated pan at rack position „2.” Set oven to 210°F Steam Mode. Steam for 10 minutes. 9. Remove pan from oven. Remove buns from pan. Squares of parchment paper can help prevent cooked bao from sticking together. 10. Grease the perforated pan again; place the second batch of proofed buns on the pan. Steam for 8 minutes; steaming will take less time because the oven is preheated. Serve buns immediately.

Sous Vide Mode

FOR RESTAURANT QUALITY STEAKS AND MORE

Sous vide (pronounced „soo-veed”) is a cooking technique used by many restaurants and a growing number of home chefs alike due to its precision cooking ability. Using steam. Sous Vide Mode emulates the same precise cooking environment created by water circulators. The result? Perfectly cooked steaks, chops, seafood, and vegetables, every time. Just set your desired temperature—down to the degree—and experience food cooked to that exact doneness. No undercooking, no overcooking, no guesswork.

Unlike water circulators, though. Sous Vide Mode offers greater flexibility in the variety of foods that can be prepared with this type of precision cooking. Technically, „sous vide” comes from the French translation of „under vacuum,” because of how chefs would use vacuum seal bags to prepare food for precision cooking in a water bath. While you can most certainly use vacuum seal bags when preparing food sous vide, there are instances where other types of covered or open containers are useful; read on for examples of different precision cooking methods.

SOUS VIDE MODE REVIEW

Sous Vide Techniques

While vacuum sealing food inside of bags works marvelously, food does not, in fact, need to be prepared under vacuum or inside a vacuum bag—there are other alternatives.

1

VACUUM SEALERS

Chamber vacuum sealers, like the Wolf Vacuum Seal Drawer pictured here, work wonders at removing air and sealing bags tightly around food in preparation of sous vide. Countertop edge sealers also work sufficiently well. Use as directed by manufacturer.

2

DISPLACEMENT METHOD

Don’t fret if you don’t have one of the tools described above—you can still prepare food sous vide. Simply place food in a sous-vide safe zipper-top bag and slowly submerge it in a large pot of water. The water will force the air out of the bag, and all you have to do is slide the zipper close.

Convection Modes

THREE VERSATILE COOKING ENVIRONMENTS

Choose from Convection, Convection Steam, and Convection Humid Modes to create nearly any dish. Convection creates the ideal conditions for the Mailiard reaction to occur, resulting in evenly browned, more flavorful food. Then, when you add steam or trap moisture in the oven, your food benefits from the added precision and humidity.

CONVECTION MODES REVIEW

Convection

THE FLAVOR-GUARANTEED MODE

Almost anything you would normally make in a standard oven will benefit from the circulating warm air of this mode. Food browns evenly, no matter the rack, and cooks about twenty-five percent faster. It works by circulating hot air throughout the cavity and venting out excess moisture. A dry cooking method, it works well for foods that you want to brown, caramelize, crisp, or dehydrate: cookies, granola, jerky, or souffles.

Convection Steam

THE OVEN’S NAMESAKE MODE

Combine convection heat and steam and you unlock a world of „crispy outside, juicy inside” possibility. Steam ensures everything is cooked to your desired doneness, and then convection heat boosts your food’s flavor through even, all-over browning. Ideal for braises, pasta bakes, and some breads.

Convection Humid

Some foods do not benefit from added steam, especially those that contain a lot of liquid. But if the air is too dry, food can dehydrate. Convection Humid Mode strikes a balance between dry and wet heat, creating a mildly humid cooking environment. The result? Food browns evenly yet stays moist. Dry muffins and tough casseroles are now a thing of the past.

Whether you’re baking for an occasion or to satisfy the whims of a sweet tooth, this cookie recipe is flexible and reliable. Simply choose your dough—standard or chocolate—and the mix-ins you desire (or merely have in the pantry). It’s time to pull out the cookie jar.

Quick tip:

While not an exact science, convert recipes to convection cooking using this rule of thumb: reduce the temperature by 25°F and the cook time by 25 percent. Be extra mindful when converting a recipe for the first time so as to not overcook.

Moroccan Braised Lamb Shoulder

Rub

The main elements of a braise include:

The key to braising is steady heat and generous time. If cooked too little, braises may be fully cooked but remain tough. By waiting, effectively “overcooking,” your patience will be rewarded: the tough will transform to tender. Easily made ahead of time, simply reheat over medium-low heat before serving.

Equally comforting to eat as it is to make, this braise is a one-pot creation that is relatively simple and hands-off. Convection Steam Mode also creates tender, flavorful, and moist braises from other cuisines, such as Mexican carnitas, French coq au vin, and American pot roast.

Reheat Mode

BRING LEFTOVERS BACK TO LIFE

When it’s time to heat up last night’s dinner, most of us turn to the microwave oven—and with uninspiring results. Microwave ovens remove moisture from food as it heats, resulting in dry and tasteless results. It’s no wonder why noses wrinkle at the thought of leftovers. Reheat Mode takes a different approach to rejuvenating memorable meals. Using a combination of steam and convection heat. Reheat Mode gently warms and rehydrates food, bringing it back to moist, flavorful life. Then, after a few minutes of steam, the vent opens and excess moisture is expelled from the oven cavity so food crisps, instead of becoming soggy. This blend of steam and dry heat provides the ideal reheating environment for food.

Bread and Pastry Mode

BAKERY-WORTHY BREADS, ROLLS, AND PASTRIES

The glossy, crackled finish of artisan breads, the sheen on a fluffy pastry—these results are difficult, if not impossible, to achieve in a standard oven. Why? Because you need steam: the essential element in making beautiful breads. To remedy this shortcoming of conventional ovens, your Convection Steam Oven includes Bread and Pastry Mode. This mode recreates the conditions of professional steam ovens, so even the most novice baker can turn out baked goods as impressive and flavorful as a seasoned expert. No dangerous oven tricks or egg washes required.

At the start of baking. Bread and Pastry Mode floods the oven with steam. As such, you’ll want to put the food in the cold oven before starting the mode—do not preheat. That initial burst of steam lets two critical reactions take place. First, as water condenses on the raw dough, the loaf’s surface temperature drops. This prevents the crust from forming too quickly and allows the bread to expand as much as possible as the yeast completes its final fermentation, resulting in an airy texture. This period is called the „oven spring.” The second reaction is the reason behind the eye-catching sheen on beautifully baked breads. The gelatinization—the moist, gummy layer on the exterior of the loaf—bakes out, yielding a rich, satin finish.

INSIDE YOUR OVEN

At the start, steam floods the cavity, then convection completes the cooking process.

Proof Mode

FOR LOAVES YOU WILL LOVE

One of the secrets to a good bake is a good proof. Whether you make bread every day or as a treat for special occasions, this mode will help you prepare beautifully raised breads. While professional bakers utilize proof boxes to stimulate the correct environment for yeast activity, your oven is engineered with similar technology to achieve the same fluffy results. Proof Mode should typically be used for the second or final proof, after the bread has already gained much of its volume and flavor in an initial proofing or fermentation (often referred to as the „bulk proof”). A low, gentle heat between 77°F and 104°F allows bread to rise more rapidly than it would at room temperature, especially in cooler environments.

Low, controlled heat.

PROOF MODE REVIEW

Quick tip: When is it time to bake

A large part of a successful proof is knowing when to begin baking. If your dough is not given enough time to proof, it will not reach its full rise or flavor potential.

If left to overproof, the loaf may collapse during baking or present unpleasant off-flavors. You will know it is ready to bake when:
