Steaming is a particularly gentle way of cooking food.
The steam surrounds the dish thereby preventing a
loss of nutrients from the food. Cooking takes place
without overpressure. As a result, the shape, colour
and typical aroma of the dishes are retained.
The tables contain a selection of dishes which are
particularly suitable for your steam oven. You can find
out which operating mode, accessories and cooking
time to select.
Unless otherwise stated, the information given applies
to inserting accessories when the appliance is cold.
Use the accessories provided.
When steaming in the perforated cooking container,
always insert the solid cooking container underneath.
Dripping liquid is caught.
When using ovenware, always place it in the middle of
the perforated cooking container.
Ovenware must be heat and steam resistant. cooking
times are increased when thick walled ovenware is
used.
Food which would normally be prepared in a
bain marie should always be covered with foil (e.g.
melting chocolate).
The cooking times when steaming depend on the
item size, but do not depend on the total quantity. The
appliance can steam food to a maximum of 2 kg.
Follow the unit sizes given in the tables. 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. The values quoted
can therefore only serve as a guideline.
Always distribute the food evenly in the ovenware. It
will not cook evenly if the layers are of different
depths.
