• Steam does not distribute smell or taste, enabling meat or fish to
be cooked together with vegetables.
• Steam is also suitable for blanching, defrosting and warming or
keeping a dish warm.
Sous vide
Using the sous vide steam function:
• Vacuuming
▷ First vacuum the food in plastic using a vacuuming machine.
This process removes most of the air from the plastic bag. The
bag preserves nutrients and taste during cooking, resulting in
food that is juicier, softer and tastier.
• Vacuum cooking
▷ Cook the dish at the correct temperature and the correct time
using the oven's Sous Vide steam setting (see 'Recipes and
cooking times').
▷ Most dishes can be kept at serving temperature (around 60 °C)
for a few hours, which makes mise en place very easy: you simply
remove the dish from the oven when you need it.
