How it works
42
26.4 Steaming
Cook dishes gently. The food remains particularly suc-
culent.
In contrast to steam-assisted cooking, the meat does
not become crispy on the outside.
¡
Use open, heat-resistant cookware that is suitable
for cooking with steam.
¡
The perforated steam container (size XL) is the best
option here. To catch any liquid that drips down,
slide in the universal pan one level below in the
cooking compartment.
You can also use a glass tray and place this onto
the wire rack.
¡
Cover food that can normally be cooked in a water
bath, with film, e.g. with cling film.
¡
You do not need to turn the food.
¡
For a different flavour, you can sear the meat,
poultry or fish before steaming. Reduce the cooking
time.
¡
Larger pieces require a longer heating-up time and
a longer cooking time.
¡
If you are using several pieces which are the same
weight, the appliance's heating-up time is increased.
The cooking time remains the same.
¡
In the main part of the instruction manual, you can
find information on how to set the steam function.

Vegetables on several levels
You can easily cook more than one type of food or
even whole menus, e.g. broccoli and potatoes, on two
levels.
Rice or cereals
¡
Add water or liquid in the indicated ratio.
For example, this means 1:1.5 for 100 g of rice,
150 ml liquid.
26.5 Cooking frozen products
¡
Do not use heavily frosted frozen products.
¡
Remove any ice.
¡
Some frozen products may be unevenly pre-baked.
Uneven browning may remain even after baking.
26.6 Cooking ready meals
¡
Take ready meals out of the packaging.
¡
If you are warming or cooking the ready meal in
cookware, make sure that the cookware is heat-res-
istant.
