The controlled release of water onto the pre-heated base creates steam continuously for the first half of the bake.
This design keeps up with the air being vented out of the oven, so your bread bakes with steam when it needs it the most.

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 3 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. Larger bakes tend to take longer than smaller ones.
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.
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.
Will U Steam fit in my oven?
The dimensions of U Steam are 21in long x 15in wide x 2.5in 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.
What materials is U Steam made from?
U Steam is made from 100% food grade metals including carbon steel and aluminum.
Where is U Steam available?
U Steam is initially going to be launched in the United States. We hope to serve international customers soon.
