For a cooking session as healthy as
possible, it
is important to empty
your steam cooker after each use
. All
potential residues and pesticides from
your non-organic food will remain in the
water from the water tank.
Stagnant water favours the development
of bacteria. Therefore,
make sure to
clean and maintain your appliance
thoroughly
for your health, but also to
maintain the longevity of the appliance.
Place the Dejelin steam cooker on a
horizontal and stable surface.
Make
sure to assemble all the parts of the
steam cooker correctly.
You can use
one or more cooking containers (max.
5)
, perforated or not, with or without
accessories.
Check the assembly before starting
to cook,
in order for the steam to stay
inside. Is it tightly fitted? Are the stainless
steel GastroNorm containers well centred
on the collars? If all is tightly fitted, the
steam will correctly be regulated through
the perforations of the glass lid.
TO DO
•
Plug in your appliance AFTER filling it
with water.
•
Preheat your steam cooker before
putting your food in. The cooking will
be more precise and faster!
•
Observe the glass lid, and as soon as
condensation appears, your steam
cooker is hot. At this moment you can
insert your ingredients.
•
Always place the porcelain terrine in
the highest GastroNorm container.
Its size is adapted to be placed right
below the glass lid.
•
Prepare a pair of oven mitts or a towel
to be able to handle the parts safely
during and after the cooking session.
•
Prepare the serving tray or another
similar support to put the baskets
with your hot preparations without
any water streaming on your counter.
• Always place the “bain-marie”
container above the perforated
baskets,
under the lid. The “bain-
marie” container prevents the steam
to circulate. It is impossible to cook
the food which is in the perforated
baskets above the “bain-marie”
container.
TO AVOID
• Don’t place your steam cooker
under a shelf. Over time, the steam
might damage the material of the
kitchen components right above.
Ideal is to place the steam cooker
under a hood!
• Don’t lift the collars and the
containers with two hands!
In
order to avoid loss of heat, slide the
levels with one hand and insert the
ingredients with your free hand.
