Prepare for a wall of text. This might belong better in a general combi-oven thread, but given that I purchased the Anova Precision Oven, I started doing this research for learning how to use this oven. While this is certainly not all inclusive (a near impossible task), I attempted to compile a list of home ovens, websites, books, and other resources for all of the steam/combi oven models on the market worldwide, especially where a search in English was inclusive. The list is broken down into several, hopefully self-explanatory, categories.
If you find something not on my list, please let me know, and I’ll try to update it occasionally. If you find this useful, please share in what ways so we can all benefit in the knowledge share. Thanks all!

My goal is to compile all the pdfs I included in this really long post above into one spreadsheet to create an awesome cooking guidelines for starting points for creating your own recipes. I managed to get all of Miele's done today. That's over 400 items! ranging from roasting meat to de-crystallizing honey. You can sort by technique (dehydrate, roast, skin, etc...), food type (meat, vegetable, fruit, etc...), specific food (pears (halved), lamb (leg), chicken (whole), etc...), type of pan (perforated, baking tray, etc...), etc... It only contains what I could readily infer or was directly stated in the Miele manuals. You can easily figure out the blanks for yourself as needed (or at least come close enough). For example, if you are roasting something and want to brown the skin, you'll obviously not use 100% steam, and instead would turn on the top heating element. More details in this post. https://forums.egullet.org/topic/153870-anova-precision-oven/?do=findComment&comment=2267135
Note:
Several companies’ ovens have preset proprietary cooking modes. We’ll have to try to “hack” these by making their recipes work for us. I’d imagine many of these might work for those who own the Cuisinart or Blumlein versions or even those fortunate enough to have a full size one.

· There are several significantly large (10k+ members) groups for the Asian countertop ovens that are worth exploring for those who: A. speak the language, B. willing to use Google Translate, and C. are interested in branching out
o An example of a group based on the Panasonic Cubie with over 34,000 members – 蒸氣烘烤爐Panasonic Nu-sc100、300💙💛: https://www.facebook.com/groups/939020762863056/
Youtube/Other Videos:
· I have not begun to try to list all these yet. There are several good resources though. For ex. Miele Canada recently did a live series that is archived on Youtube. Try using Google Videos Search: (combi OR convection) steam oven recipes
Additional Comments:
· Try searching in other languages. Combi ovens seem more popular in Europe. Countertop ovens seem more popular in Asian countries. For example, the Panasonic Cubie countertop oven is a Malaysian product (see video using it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHg6r6fxksE). Similar popular Asian products include the Toshiba TC20 and PZO Steam Oven. Google translate searching is your friend. I have not delved deep into Asian or other non-English based language resources yet, so there are probably still many to discover there.
· You can, of course, also use convection oven, steamer, sous video, etc… resources for the Anova Precision Oven as well.
· Try using CVAP guidelines for holding food warm. See the Holding Cabinet manual here: https://www.webstaurantstore.com/documents/pdf/955ha4003.pdf
· Check out social media accounts of the manufacturers listed above for additional information.
· Don’t discount manuals/recipes/books for other ovens than your own. For ex., if nothing else, the Miele Steam Combi Oven Cookbook DGC 6000 has a section (starting on pages 216) with charts that might be helpful universally (some with some slight tweaking/program learning)
· Commercial ovens (for ex. Rational) were not the focus of this effort and may yield additional resources.
· Thanks to all the resources above for having this information available and for those resources who had links to additional resources which helped in compiling this list
