Omnichef Ovens: The Appliance That Does It All

If you love striking design, effortless control and restaurant-quality results in your own kitchen, Omnichef is built for you – and this article will explore exactly how it achieves this!

As part of our Made in Italy project, we worked with Michelin-starred chefs and put every oven through rigorous research, planning and testing – all to build an oven that makes better cooking simpler at home. This resulted in the creation of Omnichef: a cooking platform that delivers professional results without the fuss, so you can spend more time enjoying great food and less time worrying about technique.

Beautifully finished and packed with practical technology, Omnichef blends steam, microwave, and traditional cooking – together or separately – so you can roast, bake, steam, and reheat with confidence.

What Is an Omnichef Oven?

An Omnichef oven is Smeg’s built-in “3-in-1” oven that combines traditional convection baking, microwave, and steam cooking either sequentially (Multistep) or simultaneously (Multitech) to speed up what you can cook. Omnichef ovens come equipped with smart presets containing 150+ recipes, air-fry/BBQ modes, and other professional-grade features.

Health & Results Better nutrient retention with steam; professional-style results Good results, but without specific steam benefits

One Oven That Combines Steam, Microwave & Traditional Cooking

All Omnichef built-in ovens can use three different types of cooking technology – let’s take a look at what each involves:

  • Traditional Cooking: For great cooking results, excellent heat distribution, and even browning.

  • Steam Cooking: For moisture and flavour retention with nutrient and vitamin-rich results.

  • Microwave Cooking: For speed without ever compromising on the quality of food.

With so many cooking possibilities, you have full control over exactly how you like your food to be cooked and can take advantage of the time savings of up to 70%!

 

A Smarter Approach to Cooking Your Favourite Meals

Omnichef ovens have two different cooking approaches, both of which produce a professional level of cooking, save time, and make your cooking experience unique. 

Multistep allows you to cook using traditional, steam and microwave functions sequentially, whilst Multitech allows you to combine all three technologies together.

Why Choose A Smeg Smart Appliance?

Cook a Whole Chicken in Just 30 Minutes

Yes, you read that correctly, Omnichef ovens can reduce cooking times by up to 70%! By combining oven heat, steam for moisture, and microwave for speed, it takes just 30 minutes to roast a 1.2 kg chicken with crisp, juicy results. 

That's not all – baked and roast potatoes take just 35 minutes, so time-consuming roasts are now a thing of the past. Other dishes like risotto take just 15 minutes when using an Omnichef oven, bringing you flavoursome dishes faster than ever.

Smartcooking Technology – Minimal Effort, Restaurant Quality Results

The oven's Smartcooking technology does all the hard work for you. Simply enter the type of ingredient you wish to cook, and its weight and the oven will work out the perfect temperature and time it needs to cook to perfection. 

To make things even simpler, there are also 150 preset recipes to choose from, so whatever your cooking experience, you can create outstanding dishes with minimal effort.

A New & Improved Galileo Oven Cavity

The Galileo cavity has been completely redesigned for superior heat distribution, delivering consistently even cooking and perfect browning. The upgraded airflow system prevents flavour transfer between dishes, so you can confidently cook sweet and savoury together. 

Practical refinements include multi-level LED lighting for clearer visibility, a smooth, rounded welded cavity that wipes clean in seconds, a quick-release inner door for easy maintenance, and soft-close hinges for quiet, effortless opening and closing.

Space Saving

With all the cooking technologies you will ever need in just one appliance, an Omnichef oven allows you to free up valuable space on kitchen worktops and built-in units.

Award winning

The ideal home magazine has voted Omnichef as their ‘Genius Kitchen Innovation’ award winner!
The judges said “Anything that makes life easier is a hit with us, and that’s why the Galileo technology from Smeg was the judge’s favourite. The range’s flagship Omnichef model has managed to reduce cooking times by up to 70%. You can roast a chicken in just 30 minutes or bake a potato in 20’
‘This revolutionary new cooking technology uses steam, microwave and traditional cooking all together for the ultimate cooking performance,’ says Heather Young, Ideal Home Editor.

Michelin Star Chef Approved

Before partnering with Smeg, Michelin-starred chef Theo Randall put the Omnichef oven to the test – and immediately gave it his seal of approval.

He was blown away by the innovative technology, the precision, and the speed at which it delivers restaurant-quality results.
