Powerful, Healthy & Smart Cooking with Combi and Steam Ovens in Malaysia

6 reasons to buy a VATTI oven

Convection and steam in one cavity

Hot air for a crisp exterior, controlled steam for a moist interior, and the two together where a dish needs both. On the VA05 and VA06 that is one appliance, one opening in the cabinet run and one thing to clean, doing the work of an oven and a steamer.

Steam you set, not steam you hope for

Three steam levels on the VA05 and three grades of humidity on the VA06, so a delicate fish and a tray of buns get different amounts of it. Dual temperature control on both holds the top and the bottom of the oven apart while it does.

Rice, porridge and yogurt as well

Both combis steam rice, prove dough, make yogurt, keep food warm and defrost. The VA06 adds porridge, meat and soup stew modes. Jobs that usually take a rice cooker, a slow cooker and a steamer, from one cavity.

Sixty-eight menus you are free to ignore

The VA05 and VA06 carry 68 auto-cooking menus, and the VA05 adds multi-stage steam programmes that change partway through a cook. Use them, or set it yourself. Both are on the same panel.

Steam-cleans, then dries itself

Two auto-clean functions on the VA05 and VA06: steam to loosen what is on the walls, then heat to dry the cavity so it is not left wet. The O7559 has an enamel cavity that wipes clean, and the M626 has an auto-clean function of its own.

A door you can stand next to

Triple-layer glazed doors on all three ovens keep the outside cool enough to open with a child in the kitchen. The O7559's door comes off for cleaning without tools.

Choosing a oven in Malaysia

• 3steam levels

  Steam is what a Malaysian kitchen asks of an oven

  Most ovens are built around baking. Most home cooking here is steamed: rice, fish, buns, kuih, and yesterday's dishes brought back without drying out. The VA05 and the VA06 steam at three levels, low, mid and high, and both have a steam rice mode. The VA06 adds three stew modes, for porridge, meat and soup.

• 70-75L

  Three full-size ovens and a microwave

  The three ovens are 70 litres (the VA05 and VA06) and 75 litres (the O7559), room for a family's roast and its sides together. The M626 is a 25L built-in microwave with a grill, for reheating and quick cooking rather than baking. There is no compact oven in the range, so measure the cabinet opening before choosing rather than after.

• 9-12functions

  Count the functions you will actually use

  The ovens here print 9 to 12 cooking functions. More is not automatically better: a second baking mode you never select is worth less than the steam setting that reheats rice without drying it out. Work out the three you would use in a week and choose for those. The VA05 and VA06 also carry 68 auto-cooking menus for the days you would rather not decide.

• Convection, steam, or both at once

  Convection circulates hot air for a crisp, evenly browned result. Steam holds moisture in, so food stays tender. A combi runs either, or the two together: the VA06 steam-grills and steam-bakes, and the VA05 has two combination functions. That is what lets one cavity roast a chicken on Sunday and steam a fish on Monday.

• An air fryer that is already in the wall

  All three ovens air fry, using the fan and the element the oven already has to crisp food with little or no oil. The O7559 comes with its own air fry rack, the VA05 has an air-fryer function and the VA06 two air-fryer modes. If the household eats fried food and would rather it were not deep fried, that is one appliance off the counter.

• What a steam oven asks of you

  The steam side runs from a water tank, 1.3 litres on the VA06, so filling it is part of using it, and the steam system wants descaling on the schedule the manual gives, more often where the water is hard. In return the VA05 and VA06 clean themselves: a steam-clean cycle loosens what is on the walls, and a heat-dry cycle leaves the cavity dry rather than wet.
