I think there is a small misunderstanding here. Yes, a professional combi will allow you to set the temperature & steam% independently, but not in any combination.
The volume of steam generated per time unit depends on the power of the evaporator, and while these machines certainly have impressive specs, they have limitations. Besides, there are very limited applications to „cook“ at say 200 oC and 100% humidity.
Please do have a look this, taken from a manual for the machine that @rotuts posted upthread ...
Temperatur is - well - temperature and Feuchte means humidity. You can see that the limitation will be around 130 oC at 100% humidity, which in a preheated closed* system is well achievable ...
*Edited for clarity: a closed (self-)pressurised system, as the vapor pressure of the steam (water) will exceed ambient pressure.
