• With the Steam Cooking
cooking time is longer.

Note on the tables for Steam Cooking and Interval Steam Cooking
The tables below give the required temperature settings, cooking times and oven levels for
a selection of typical dishes.
• Temperatures and cooking times are for guidance only, as these will depend on the
composition and size of the food to be cooked, the quantity and the type of ovenware.
• If you cannot find the settings for a particular recipe of your own, look for the one that
is most similar.
• Unless otherwise stated, the values given in the tables assume that cooking is started
with the oven cold.
Steam Cooking
The Steam Cooking
fresh or frozen. It can be used for cooking, warming, defrosting, poaching, or blanching
vegetables, meat, fish, pasta, rice, sweet corn, semolina and eggs.
Cooking of menus
Complete menus can be prepared in one go. Ideally dishes that require similar cooking times
should be chosen. This will prevent individual components being under or over cooked. The
amount of water to be used will depend on the largest amount of water specified for the
individual components chosen. For information, see Table.
The dishes should be positioned in suitable cooking containers on the oven shelves. The gap
between the oven shelves must be adjusted so that the steam can get to every dish.
When cooking meals, the share of water to rice is to be increased from 1: 1.5 to 1 : 2 in
contrast to the specifications in the table.
Sterilising containers
The Steam Cooking
using steam. To do this place the cleaned containers in the middle of the oven shelf on the
1st shelf level with the opening facing downwards. Insert the containers into the oven at
a slight angle. Fill the maximum amount of water (650 ml) and select a time of 40 min. at
96°C.
