Uses for Steam On Demand:
Most of the ideas came from our creative customers. Ex-
periment with this feature on your own and let us know of
any new uses.
• Add a minute or two at the beginning when baking
bread for a shiny crust.
• Kick start large loads such as 20 or more chickens.
By starting large loads with 5 to 8 minutes of steam
you help the oven recover and cut the cooking time
by more than 10%.
• Bake bagels without boiling. By starting raw bagels
with 1 to 2 minutes of steam you can achieve a
beautiful crust.
• Cream caramel is great at 230ºF to 250ºF in the
Combi mode using 2 minutes of on demand steam.
• When cooking chicken wings, try setting the oven
in the Combi mode at 375ºF and use 3 minutes of
Steam On Demand. This method will stop the tips
from burning. Total cooking time is approximately 12
minutes.
• Pork ribs tend to pull off the bone better when using
5 to 8 minutes of Steam On Demand. Try ribs in the
Combi mode at 350ºF.
