The maximum temperature in the steam oven is 212° F /
100° C. Most types of food can be cooked at this
temperature. Some more delicate types of food, such as
berries, must be cooked at lower temperatures, otherwise
they will burst. More information is provided in the relevant
chapters.
In general, the cooking times for cooking with steam are the
same as for cooking food on a cooktop. More information
about any factors that may affect the cooking time is provided
in the following chapters.
The quantity of food does not affect the cooking time. 1 lb of
potatoes will take the same time to cook as ½ lb.
The cooking times given in the charts are guidelines only. We
recommend selecting the shorter cooking time to start with,
additional time can be added if necessary.
When cooking with liquid, only fill the cooking pan
prevent the liquid from spilling when the cooking container is
removed from the oven.
Any food and recipes which are prepared in a pot or a pan
can also be cooked using steam. The cooking times in the
steam oven will be the same. Please note that food will not
brown when cooked with steam.
