The advantages of cooking with steam

Suitable containers

Cooking containers

Your own containers

This section contains general information. You will find more
detailed information about particular foods and how to cook
them in the other sections.
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 also
retains its fresh, original colour.
This steam oven is supplied with stainless steel cooking
containers. Other containers, in a variety of sizes, both
perforated and solid, are available as optional extras (please
refer to "Optional accessories"). This enables you to choose
the most suitable container for the food you are preparing.
It is best to use perforated containers for steam cooking. The
steam can reach the food from all sides and the food is
cooked evenly.
You can also use your own containers. However, please note
the following:
– Containers must be heat-resistant to 100 °C and able to
withstand hot steam. With plastic containers please check
with the manufacturer that they are suitable for use in a
steam oven.
– Thick-sided containers made from porcelain, china or
stoneware, for example, are not so suitable for steam
cooking. They do not conduct heat well and as a result
cooking durations will be considerably longer than those
given in the charts.
