New Ilve Majestic range

I'm remodeling the kitchen and have purchased a Miele combi-steam oven. This is a new concept to me. I have never used a steam/convection oven before. Do you have any suggestions for making adjustments to my cooking? I heard that the convection oven can be used for air frying and the steam oven can be used for sous vide.

Sorry, I edited this post to limit to one appliance, the Miele combi-steam oven.

I moderate a combi oven group on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/CombiSteamOvenCooking/

Not just Miele, but any combi/steam ovens (although the Anova tends to dominate the conversation right now given its features and price). Although there are different features between different brands, in general the cooking principles don't change (steam is steam). There are also a number of useful combi resouces in the pulldowns on the subred.

I keep hoping Breville/ChefSteps with come out with a "Joule Combi Oven". If they applied their usual design approach, they could easily dominate the home market, which is obviously growing.

Yes, you can air fry using the convection setting (an air fryer is just a small convection oven). And sous vide as well. It is even possible to do "bagless sous vide" in a combi oven if yours has a wet bulb thermometer (probably not, although the Anova does). Alternatively, you could use the new thermometer from Chris Young's (ChefSteps founder) Combustion Inc, which should be out soon:
