how useful is steam combi oven in india? as its v expensive so in dilemma . your feedback..

Hello there, I would suggest try researching with few dealers before zeroing in on one product. Do a thorough check online/offline as well. Brands that are well established and well accustomed to Indian Kitchen tend to provide better services and spares at much reduced costs. Their products have been refined through decades. Few are Elica, Kaff, Faber, Glen and Kutchina. Some newly introduced ventures are Siemens appliances, Hafele-Nagold, Hindware and Bosch appliances. They are evolving and might take some trial and errors to reach a steady customer base. So make a much informed decision before buying one as it is incredibly crucial to cooking, especially steam and oil suction capacity. Also, you need to look at filter spares costs etc. Regards, Aurum Ideas and Spaces Bhubaneswar

We are considering either: a combination of 2 ovens (top is microwave/convection and lower is large convection oven) of a combination of 2 ovens (top is steam and lower is large convection oven) Any input?

Hello Swati, Regarding built-in ovens, most of these ovens work in a similar manner, the only difference is in their capacity, an oven with a moderate capacity of 67-70 liters should be more than adequate. If we talk about different companies, most of the built-in ovens are same, whether they are built by one company or another, what's more important is the after sales service and we have had great experience with hindware built-in ovens but you can also go with faber or elica(they are a bit more expensive).
