STORY BY: SARAH WORTHAM
Serious home cooks deserve the absolute best kitchen appliances. And those who aspire to become better cooks need every advantage they can get. The Wolf Convection Steam Oven (CSO) is the appliance that does it all, producing bakery-level breads, succulent roasts, and much more.
Whether you are preparing an old favorite or an original dish, the Wolf’s CSO will help you elevate all your meals. Offering an unmatched combination of performance and convenience, the CSO is a versatile addition to any kitchen.

Steam and Convection
The Wolf CSO uses steam, convection, or a combination of the two to ensure exceptional flavor development in every dish. The Wolf CSO has a Convection Mode, which evenly cooks and browns food, a Steam Mode, which is ideal for seafood, vegetables, and rice, and a Convection Steam Mode, which combines both types of cooking to create dishes that are crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.
The Technology
Two sensors—a humidity sensor and a thermocouple temperature sensor—work together to maintain an optimum cooking environment for particular foods. These sensors partner with advanced software, a dynamically controlled vent, and a rear convection fan to circulate heat and steam.
The Humidity Factor
Fancy a casserole or quick bread? Select Convection Humid Mode to maintain a mildly humid cooking environment. Convection Humid Mode strikes a balance between dry and wet heat, for foods that already contain some moisture—developing flavor and a beautifully browned exterior.
Better Leftovers
Dry, unappealing leftovers are a thing of the past with the Wolf CSO. Choose Reheat Mode to reimagine last night’s meal by rehydrating and/or crisping everything from lasagna to roast chicken. Reheat Mode uses a blend of steam and heat that provides the ideal environment to bring foods back to original delicious flavor.
Foolproof Gourmet Meals
Gourmet Mode offers a variety of quick and convenient programmed cooking options, so you can select what you want to prepare and Gourmet Mode will set the cooking environment, including ideal rack positions, for chef-tested, reliable results.
You can also level up with Gourmet Plus Mode, which optimizes the temperature, airflow, steam, and humidity throughout the cooking cycle.
Not ready to serve yet? Opt for Warm Mode to hold food at an ideal temperature until everyone is at the table.
Artisan Baking at Home
Proof Mode provides the ideal environment for yeasted doughs by creating a gentle, controlled heat ensures the correct rise with each loaf. Bake Mode is the best choice for single-rack cooking of more delicate items, such as quiches, custards, and cakes, all of which require a more humid environment.
