Added steam
When you cook with added steam, the appliance intro-

intervals. This gives your food a crispy crust and a
shiny surface. Meat stays juicy and tender, and only un-
dergoes a minimum reduction in volume.
You can combine added steam with the following
functions:

and bread rolls in particular wonderfully crispy and
gives them a golden colour.
