I have the feeling that super-steam generates a more saturated environment than steam-bake.

 

that's only a bit of a guess.

 

the way to solve this would be to measure the condensation and water loss from the reservoir at the same temp-time

 

for super steam and steam-bake.

 

I know many expensive commercial combi-ovens let you set the saturation for the steam at any temp.

 

Ive also noticed that at lower temps    i.e. 225 steam-bake  vs  400 steam-bake  more water is used from the reservoir 

 

and more condenses in the oven  ---   in your pan and down to the small reservoir.

 

I think @blue_dolphin  pointed this out up-thread.   Ive only used 225 steam-bake once and was surprised.

 

I think  two small pans have to take more time in the oven for a given result than one small pan.

 

there is a thermal gradient and it would take more energy  i.e. time to get both pans to the state of a single pan.
