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.
The majority of 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, if at all. Food
also retains its fresh, original colour.
The appliance is supplied with cooking containers made of
stainless steel. Other containers, in a variety of sizes, both
perforated and solid, are available as optional extras (see
"Optional accessories"). This enables you to choose the most
suitable container for the food you are preparing.
It is best to use perforated containers if possible. The steam
can reach the food from all sides and the food is cooked
evenly.
You can use your own containers if you wish. Please note:
– If using plastic cooking containers, make sure that they are
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.
