STEAM COOKING TIPS
It is fat free and has the advantage of preserving the original flavour of the food. In this case, the food
is not cooked with water but with water vapour. Steam cooking is different than boiling. In fact, the
water vapour works on the inside of the cells, which is fundamentally different from the effect of boiling
water.
In fact, steam also cooks the food completely but, except fr the fat, nothing else comes out of the food.
The cell walls and tendons gradually soften, the protein coagulates without coming out, the starches
swell and combine, and the sugars and minerals remain unchanged.
The same goes for odours, which are reduced to a minimum or coloured substances. Only the fat
liquefies due to the heat and, for this reason, it is almost never a good idea to steam cook large cuts of
meat or fish.
So, the foods that benefits to this cooking method are generally, those with no fat such as, fish, some
types of meat, legumes, potatoes, cereals, eggs, pudding, vegetables, etc. It is not good far vegetables
with tough fibres or fruits in general.
USEFUL TIPS
- When using the steam oven, always start with the oven cold. Using steam in a hot oven
(immediately after traditional cooking) is not recommended because the benefits of cooking with
steam will be cancelld out.
- For steam cooking try to use the perforated stainless steel tray together with the lower stainless
steel drip tray as much as possible.
- The first, resting with its support on the flat grill, allows the steam to fully cook the food while
drawing everything released by the food during cooking through the holes.
- The second, lower tray, slid under the grill on itsguies, will collect the drippings and keep the oven
chamber cleaner.
