Menu Cooking (Cooking Whole Meals) - Manually - Miele DGC 6500 Operating And Installation Instructions

Menu cooking (cooking whole
meals) - manually
Before cooking meals with the Menu
cooking function switch off the steam
reduction system (see "Settings -
Steam reduction").
You can use the steam oven to cook a
whole meal containing types of food
which have different cooking durations,
e.g. fish fillet with rice and broccoli.
Each dish is placed in the oven at
different times so that they are all ready
at the same time.
Shelf level
When cooking fish or food with a
distinctive colour (e.g. beetroot) in a
perforated container, place the
perforated container directly above the
condensate tray / universal tray
(depending on model) to avoid any
transfer of flavour or colour to other
food and to prevent liquid dripping onto
food below it.
Temperature
Whole meals should be cooked at a
temperature of 100 °C as this is the
temperature required to cook the
majority of foods.
Do not cook a whole meal at the lowest
temperature when different
temperatures are required for different
types of food, e.g. 85 °C for seabream
and 100 °C for potatoes.
If the recommended cooking
temperature for the food is 85 °C for
example, try cooking it at 100 °C and
testing the result. Some delicate types
of fish with a soft structure, e.g. sole
and plaice will become very firm when
cooked at 100 °C.
Duration
If you are increasing the recommended
temperature, shorten the cooking
duration by approx. ¹/₃.
