  • Page 37: Temperature

    General notes Temperature A maximum temperature of 100 °C is reached in the steam oven. Most types of food will cook at this temperature. Some more delicate types of food, such as soft fruit, must be cooked at lower temperatures as otherwise they will burst. More information is given in the relevant section.
  • Page 38: Steam Cooking

    Steam cooking Vegetables Fresh Prepare fresh vegetables in the usual way, i.e. wash, clean and cut them up. Frozen Frozen vegetables do not need to be defrosted beforehand, unless they have been frozen together in a block. Frozen and fresh vegetables which take the same length of time to cook can be cooked together.
  • Page 39 Steam cooking Duration As with conventional methods, when cooking vegetables with steam the cooking duration will depend on the size and also whether you want the vegetables to be al dente or soft/well done. Example: firm potatoes, cut into quarters = approx. 18 minutes firm potatoes, cut in half = approx.

  • Page 42: Meat

    Steam cooking Meat Fresh Prepare the meat in the usual way. Frozen Meat should be thoroughly defrosted before cooking in the steam oven (see "Defrosting"). Preparation For meat which needs to be seared before being cooked, e.g. stew, sear the meat in a pan on the hob first. Duration The cooking duration depends on the thickness and the texture of the meat, and not on the weight.
  • Page 43 Steam cooking Settings Automatic programmes > Meat > ... > Steam cooking Steam cooking Temperature: 100 °C Duration: see chart The durations given in the charts are guidelines only. We recommend selecting the shorter cooking duration quoted to start with. If food is not cooked sufficiently after the shorter time it can be put back in the oven and cooked for longer.

  • Page 45: Fish

    Steam cooking Fish Fresh Prepare fresh fish in the usual way, i.e. clean, gut and fillet. Frozen Defrost frozen fish before cooking (see "Defrosting"). Preparation Add some lemon or lime juice to fish before cooking. The citric acid helps the flesh stay firm. It is not necessary to season fish with salt when cooking with steam as this method retains the minerals which give the fish its unique flavour.
  • Page 46 Steam cooking Duration The cooking duration depends on the thickness and the texture of the fish, and not on the weight. The thicker the fish, the longer the cooking duration. A 3 cm thick piece of fish weighing 500 g will take longer to cook than a 2 cm thick piece of fish weighing 500 g.
  • Page 47 Steam cooking The cooking durations given in the chart are guidelines for fresh fish. We recommend selecting the shorter cooking duration quoted. If food is not cooked sufficiently after the shorter time it can be put back in the oven and cooked for longer.
  • Page 48: Shellfish

    Steam cooking Shellfish Preparation Defrost frozen shellfish before cooking with steam. Peel, remove and discard the intestines, and then wash the shellfish. Cooking containers If using a perforated container, grease it first. Duration The longer shellfish are cooked, the tougher they become. Use the cooking durations given in the chart.
  • Page 49: Mussels

    Steam cooking Mussels Fresh Only cook mussels which are closed. N.B. Do not eat mussels which have not opened after being cooked. Danger of food poisoning. Steep fresh mussels in water for a few hours before cooking to rinse out any sand. Then scrub the mussels thoroughly to clean them.
  • Page 50: Rice

    Steam cooking Rice Rice swells when cooked and needs to be cooked in liquid. The proportion of rice to liquid will vary depending on the type of rice. The rice absorbs all the liquid and so none of the nutrients are lost.
  • Page 51: Pasta

  • Page 54: Dried Pulses

    Steam cooking Dried pulses Soak pulses for at least 10 hours in cold water before cooking. Soaking makes the pulses more digestible and shortens the cooking duration required. Exception: Lentils do not need to be soaked before cooking. Soaked pulses must be covered with liquid during cooking. With unsoaked pulses a specific ratio of pulses : water is required.

  • Page 56: Hen's Eggs

    Steam cooking Hen's eggs Use a perforated container to boil eggs in the steam oven. The eggs do not need to be pierced before cooking as they are gradually warmed during the heating up phase and so do not burst when they are cooked with steam. When using a solid container for egg dishes such as scrambled eggs, remember to grease it first.
  • Page 57: Fruit

    Steam cooking Fruit Cook fruit in a solid container so that none of the juice is lost. If you wish to cook fruit in a perforated container, place a solid container directly underneath it to collect the juice. You can use the juice which has collected in the solid container to make a glaze for a fruit flan.
