Steam cooking

The advantages of cooking with steam

The universal tray, combi rack and container rack have
non-tip safety notches which prevent them being pulled right
out when they only need to be partially pulled out. They need
to be lifted in order to remove them from the oven.
You can also use your own containers. However, please note
the following:
– The container must be suitable for using in an oven and
must be steam resistant. With plastic containers please
check with the manufacturer that they are suitable for use
in a combi steam oven.
– Containers made from silicone should only be used with
the Fan plus, Conventional heat, Cake plus, Top heat and
Bottom heat functions as they are not steam resistant.
– Thick walled containers are not very suitable for using with
steam. The thick walls do not conduct heat well and as a
result cooking durations will be considerably longer than
those given in the charts.
– Place the cooking containers on the rack or in a cooking
container, not on the oven floor.
– Ensure that there is a gap of at least 3 cm between the
upper rim of the container and the top of the cooking
compartment to allow sufficient of steam to reach the food.
Almost all vitamins and minerals are retained as the food is
not immersed in water.
Cooking with steam also retains the true taste of the food
better than conventional cooking. We therefore recommend
seasoning the food after it has been cooked. Food retains its
fresh, orginal colour.
