Invoq Bake as the bain-marie alternative

Moisture generation:
The Invoq Bake has a built-in steam injection system that can produce a controlled amount of humidity. By introducing steam into the oven chamber, you can create a humid environment similar to a bain-marie. This moisture helps regulate the temperature and prevents excessive drying or browning of delicate products. 

Gentle and even heat:
The combination of steam and precise temperature control in the Invoq Bake allows for gentle and even heat distribution. This is particularly important when making delicate or sensitive items that require a gentle process. The steam helps to maintain a consistent and mild heat, reducing the risk of overcooking or drying out the products.

Heat transfer:
When using a bain-marie, the water surrounding the product acts as a buffer, distributing heat evenly and preventing hotspots. Similarly, in Invoq Bake, the steam helps distribute heat uniformly around the food, ensuring even cooking. This is especially beneficial for delicate custards, cheesecakes, or other products that benefit from gentle and indirect heat.

Temperature control:
Invoq Bake offer precise temperature control, allowing you to set the desired cooking temperature for your items. This control is essential when replicating the use of a bain-marie, as it ensures that the water or steam surrounding the dish remains at the ideal temperature for gentle and indirect cooking. 

Versatility:
Unlike a traditional bain-marie setup, which typically requires a separate container filled with water, the Invoq Bake oven offers versatility in preparing various products simultaneously. You can use the oven’s steam function for delicate items like custards or cheesecakes, whilst utilising dry heat convection for other dishes in the next cooking cycle.
