Convenience - Miele DGC 6000 XL Cookbook

Convenience

Automatic switch-off
Your steam combi oven features intelligent
electronics for your convenience. The fully
automatic cooking programme does not need to
be monitored as the set temperature will be
maintained throughout the programme.
Moreover, food being steamed will not burn or
overcook, allowing you to sit back and relax. At
the end of the cooking programme, the
appliance switches off automatically.
Quantity does not matter
The cooking time is not dependent on how
much food is being cooked, or whether the food
is fresh or frozen. The cooking time only starts
counting down when the set temperature is
reached. If, for example, you have not prepared
quite enough vegetables for unexpected visitors,
then there is no problem supplementing your
fresh vegetables with some frozen ones. The
cooking time remains the same. If the heating
up time varies, the oven adjusts automatically so
that you do not have to worry about it.
Exclusive to Miele –
User programmes
To cook your own recipes in the steam combi
oven, refer to the tables at the end of this book.
The following basic rule applies: when cooking
food at 100°C in the Miele steam combi oven,
the cooking time is the same as on the hob.
This makes it very easy to adapt your favourite
recipes. So – sit back and enjoy your steam combi
oven! The food you cook in it will taste fabulous!
Notes
A list of chapters is given at the beginning of this
book. Individual recipes are listed alphabetically
at the back.
Settings quoted in this book are correct for the
quantities in the recipes
A range of temperatures is given for the
temperature setting. In general, temperatures
should be set in the middle of this. They may
need to be increased or reduced depending on
the type of container being used, the quantity of
food and the level or browning desired.
The same applies to recommended temperatures.
They are a general guide and can be changed to
suit personal preferences.
Careful handling of food can help to promote
good health. For example, cakes, pizzas and
chips should be cooked until golden and not
dark brown.
The cooking times given apply to an oven that
has not been pre-heated. If baking several trays
of small cakes one after the other, the cooking
time should be reduced. The times given are a
guideline, and will be infl uenced by the
temperature and consistency of the food before
it is cooked. Small variations in cooking time
can be made to suit individual preferences, e.g.
on how golden a cake should be, or how well
cooked meat or vegetables need to be.
