Of course, here in Uruguay we don't have this oven, but I wonder seems to be so efficient, but has it got automatic cleaning cycle? Because sooner or later you'll have to deal with that chores, and not only cook in it!. The rest seem to be fine. Another question I do to myself: what's the price? Ok let's see what we get in the feed back. It's interesting. Gus

I would be skeptical.
Wolfgang Puck is just making more money off selling crap.
I bought a set of his Stainless Cookware about 8 years ago and it is junk. The stainless pitted and rusted.
Even the Male and Female spoons had pits and rust.
I don't know... maybe it is a good product, but to me... it's just another gadget people will buy, use twice, and then put a plastic bag around it, throw it in the garage until the next yard sale.
I will endorse however the Showtime Rotisserie. I'm on my second one as I wore out the first one.

Not all W. Puck is "crapola"
I only have experience with two of his appliances but they're both quite good. Overstock.com used to buy refurbished returns from HSN and the prices were great. The 2 items I purchased were absolutely undistinguishable from non-refurbished. One of them, a pressure cooker, is something I use all the time. Unlike the stovetop cookers I have you simply toss in your food, set the control and walk away. The cooker does it's thing silently, shuts off and then keeps the food warm. Nothing cooks rice better, including the dedicated $225 National/Panasonic "fuzzy logic" rice cooker I bought years ago. I waited until Overstock had a refurbished white pressure cooker before I ordered. When I opened the box it was red. I emailed them and they apologized and said send it back. When I moaned it was too much work and that I already tossed the carton they said "keep it" and refunded my money...such a deal.
I also have a refurbished W.P. Versa-Cooker which works very well.

When I worked in the hospital kitchen, we had a stack of 4 steam pressure ovens that ran on high pressure steam from the boiler system. They were more like big, front loading pressure cookers and containers of food were loaded into them. They were made of cast metal and the doors had wheels that were turned to lock them, like hatch doors on a ship. A professional would know more about the use of the institutional ones. I don't even know if these are made any longer. This one with toasting seems more like something for the housewife with money and food to burn, rather than something more serious like I remember. I would imagine that the ones in the hospital were made for institutions that employed a live steam system so they might have been seen more in hospitals than in smaller applications with less of a need for steam network. I guess for most settings now, it would be a self-contained with gas or electric heat to generate the steam within the oven.
Thanks Everyone. I have no need for this thing. They talked pressure vent and locking door. I skimmed the info. Is there any indication of the actual pressure inside this thing? The turkey they roasted looked more boiled with the skin browned. by the broiler unit, I had not run onto this thing until this weekend
