Genuine Effeuno Artisan Bread Steamer (40cm)
Transform your high-heat pizza oven into a professional bakery with the official Effeuno Bread Steamer. Handcrafted in Italy, this heavy-duty, slimline steam tray is specifically designed to integrate seamlessly into your Effeuno oven's baking chamber.
Baking authentic artisan bread, sourdough, and baguettes requires more than just heat; it requires precise moisture. During the first 10 to 15 minutes of a bake, the surface of your dough needs a highly humid environment to remain soft and elastic. This allows the bread to expand rapidly (known as "oven spring") before the crust sets, resulting in a light, airy crumb and a deeply blistered, glossy exterior.
Why use a dedicated Effeuno steamer? Attempting to create steam by spraying water directly into your hot oven or throwing ice cubes onto the baking surface is highly dangerous. Cold water hitting the 500°C inner glass door or Biscotto stone can cause them to instantly shatter or crack due to thermal shock.
This custom-tailored steamer solves that problem safely. Simply pour water into the tray, place it in the oven alongside your dough, and let the heavy-duty metal generate a gentle, sustained blanket of steam to elevate your baking.
