Sure, it takes up some counter space. But it's a really good second oven and quite possibly a second oven that’s better than your regular oven.
loaves, but after some experimentation I found that adding five to seven minutes in the oven solved the problem. What I did get on both was a golden crust that produced a satisfying hollow sound when knocked and a pokeably soft interior—the kinds of results I generally need a Dutch oven to produce with my standard steamless range. The joy of not needing to preheat or place bread dough into a 475℉ Dutch oven is substantial.
This oven also makes it simple to switch between modes for a single cook. I made bagels, using the Fotile to proof, steam , and bake, pulling off the whole process in about an hour and a half. Turning out fresh bagels in 90 minutes alone is enough to score high marks from me. One thing to note with this particular model is that it was seemingly designed to run off of Celsius rather than Fahrenheit, so the pre-set temperatures for various bakes might look a touch unfamiliar at first . But the slight variations had no real impact on anything I cooked.Because this is 2023, the Fotile is a multitasker. If anything, the name “4-in-1” actually undersells what it can do a bit.
First, the oven works as a steamer as well as a steam oven thanks to a water tank that sits at the base of the oven. The steam capabilities allow fast, easy cooking for dumplings or vegetables. The Fotile even works as a rice cooker. I put a bowl of uncooked rice in water inside and about half an hour later had stellar sticky rice.
It also works as an air fryer by cutting off the steam’s entry and using a powerful fan to circulate air; as a dehydrator with the addition of a humidity-control chip that lets water vapor escape, slowly drying out food; and as a proofing drawer by offering temperature control well under 100℉. While the real reason to get one remains its steaming, the oven admirably produced crispy potatoes and golden broccoli as an air fryer—and bountifully risen bread and bagel dough as a proofer.
