Vegetables, side dishes and eggs

Here, you can find information on steaming fresh and
frozen vegetables, potatoes, rice, cereals and eggs.
You can also find information on cooking frozen chips,
for example.
Steaming
Only use original accessories. When steaming in the
perforated steam container (size XL), always slide the
universal pan in underneath as well. Dripping liquid is
caught.
Steaming on one level
Use the shelf positions indicated in the settings tables.
Steaming on two levels
Steaming on two levels is very well suited to
simultaneously cooking broccoli and potatoes, for
example. In cases where the cooking times are
different, insert the foodstuff with the shorter cooking
time later.

■
perforated and/or unperforated: Level 5
Perforated steam container (size XL): Level 3
■
Cookware
If you use cookware, place it onto the wire rack or the
perforated steam container, size XL.
Ovenware must be heat and steam resistant. Cooking
times are increased when using cookware with thick
edges.
Food which would normally be prepared in a water bath
should always be covered with foil.
Cooking time and quantity
Cooking times when steaming are dependent on the
size of the pieces, but not dependent on the total
quantity. If a larger total quantity is used, the heating-up
time is increased and not the cooking time.
Larger pieces require a longer heating-up time and a
longer cooking time. If you are using several pieces
which are the same weight, the heating-up time is
increased, and not the cooking time.
Observe the unit sizes indicated in the settings table.
The cooking time is reduced for smaller pieces and
increased for larger ones. Cooking time is also
influenced by the quality and ripeness of the food. This
means that the setting values indicated are purely
guidelines.
Always distribute the food evenly in the cookware. It will
not cook evenly if the layers are of different depths.
When layering delicate foods in the cooking container,
do not pile them too high. It is better to use two
containers.
Rice and cereals
Add water or liquid in the proportion indicated. E.g.
"1:1.5" means adding 150 ml liquid per 100 g rice.

Baking and grilling
Only use original accessories.
Cooking on one level
Use the shelf positions indicated in the settings tables.
Cooking on two levels
Use 4D hot air. Food on baking trays that are placed
into the oven at the same time will not necessarily be
ready at the same time.
Universal pan: Level 3
■
Baking tray: Level 1
■
Accessories
Ensure that you always use suitable accessories and
that they are placed in the oven the right way around.
Wire rack
Insert the wire rack with the open side facing the
appliance door and the outer rail pointing downwards .
Universal pan or baking tray
Slide the universal pan or the baking tray in carefully as
far as the limit stop with the bevelled edge facing the
appliance door.
Greaseproof paper
Only use greaseproof paper that is suitable for the
selected temperature. Always cut greaseproof paper to
size.
Recommended setting values
In the table, you can find the ideal heating types for
various dishes. The temperature and cooking time
depend on the amount and composition of the food.
Setting ranges are indicated for this reason. Try using
the lower values at first. A lower temperature results in
more even browning. You can use a higher setting next
time if necessary.
The setting values apply to dishes placed into a cold
cooking compartment. If you preheat the oven, the
indicated cooking times will be reduced by several
minutes.
Preheating is necessary for selected dishes, and this is
indicated in the table.
If you wish to follow one of your own recipes when
cooking, you can use similar dishes in the table as a
reference.
