Temperature
The highest temperature reached in the steam oven is
100 °C. Almost all food can be cooked at this temperature.
Some delicate foods (e.g. berries) must be cooked at lower
temperatures, otherwise they will burst. Information is
provided about this in the relevant sections of this booklet.
Combination with Gourmet warming drawer
If the Gourmet warming drawer is operated underneath the
steam oven, the interior of the steam oven can heat up to a
temperature of 40 °C. If you set a temperature of 40 °C in the
steam oven while the warming drawer is operating
underneath at the same temperature, steam will not be
produced because the steam oven's interior is too warm.
Cooking duration
In general, the cooking durations for cooking with steam are
the same as for cooking food in a saucepan. More
information about any factors which may affect the cooking
duration is given in the relevant sections.
Cooking duration is not determined by the quantity of food
being cooked. The cooking duration for 1 kg potatoes is the
same as for 500 g potatoes.
The durations given in the charts are guidelines only. We
recommend selecting the shorter cooking duration quoted to
start with. If food is not cooked sufficiently after the shorter
time, it can be put back in the oven and cooked some more.
Cooking with liquid
When cooking with liquid, only fill the cooking container
2
/
3
full
to prevent the liquid spilling when the cooking container is
removed from the steam oven.
Your own recipes
Food and recipes which are prepared in a pot or a pan can
also be cooked in the steam oven. The cooking times in the
steam oven will be the same. Please note that food will not be
brown or crisp when cooking with steam.
