The steam injection system for home bakers.
U Steam is launching on Kickstarter soon. Sign up for early-bird pricing and skip the steam-baking frustration for good.
Meet the easiest way to steam-bake at home.
Gas Or Electric Ovens, Fully Steamed
No more baking one loaf at a time in a Dutch oven. Steam every corner of your oven.
Open Bake on Both Oven Racks
Get more capacity out of your home oven. You'll have room to bake on both racks, simplifying up big bakes.
Pro Results, Not Pro Prices
Steam-injection ovens cost thousands. U Steam gives you the same bakery-quality results without the eye-watering price tag.
Simple, Familiar Workflow
U Steam should be used on the bottommost oven rack. It is compact enough to live in the oven without removal aside from cleaning cycles.
The workflow is simple:
1. Pre-heat the oven at 450F for 45 minutes.
2. Load your loaves onto the built-in bread steel (plus additional steels/stones if baking on racks above).
3. Fill the water tank with 2 cups of water and close the oven door.
Your oven will be steamed continuously for the first half of the bake, exactly when your bread needs it.
Engineered for Non-Stop Steam
The steam core is engineered to create steam continuously for the first half of baking. Over 1/4th inch of solid aluminum transfers significantly more heat energy than lava rocks or soaked kitchen towels.
Channels machined into the core spread water into a thin film across the entire surface, vaporizing continuously when your bread needs it most.
FAQ
How much does U Steam cost?
We are planning to launch U Steam for $349 on Kickstarter.
Will U Steam work in my oven?
U Steam is made for any standard home oven, gas or electric. Like any bread setup, there’s a learning curve to dial in temperature, timing, and water amount for your oven.
Will U Steam fit in my oven?
The dimensions of U Steam are 21in long x 15in wide x 0.5in tall - in a standard 30in wide oven, the unit is designed to fit neatly on an oven rack with at least 1 inch of clearance on all sides.
How many loaves can I bake at once?
While it depends on the exact shape and size you bake, U Steam can typically fit up to 4 boules or batards on the built-in bread steel.
You can position another bread steel/stone above U Steam and bake additional loaves above the unit to max out your oven's capacity.
If doing so, ensure that the rack is positioned high enough above U Steam so the bottom loaves don't rise into the rack above.
How much water does U Steam need?
U Steam holds up to 3 cups of water and can supply enough steam to make the entire oven cavity humid.
We recommend starting by using 2 cups of water in your initial bake and adjusting both water and oven temperature from there.
What materials is U Steam made from?
U Steam is made from 100% food grade metals including carbon steel and aluminum.
