Steaming is one of the healthiest ways to cook, sealing in the nutrients, not to mention giving broccoli an almost Technicolour green hue.

Price: £259 | Sharp

The 900 Watt AX-100SLM oven from Sharp lets you steam your way to a healthier life, with less fat and more nutrients. A grill and microwave are also built in, so you can choose your cooking option depending on your mood, what ingredients you have to hand and how virtuous you are feeling.

The operations are touch sensitive and the LCD display lets you see how long is left. 26 automatic programmes, including four "complete meal" menus, take all the hassle out of cooking and you can choose between degrees of steaming.

Not a fan of the silver finish? Opt for the AX-1100RM in black and red.
