Tips for saving energy
■
Only preheat the appliance if this is specified in the recipe or
in the operating instructions table.
■
Open the appliance door as infrequently as possible while
the food is cooking.
■
When steaming, you can cook on several levels at the same
time. When preparing foods with different cooking times,
those with the longest cooking time should be placed in the
oven first.
Tables and tips
Steaming is a particularly gentle way of cooking food. The
steam surrounds the dish thereby preventing a loss of nutrients
from the food. Cooking takes place without overpressure. As a
result, the shape, colour and typical aroma of the dishes are
retained.
The tables contain a selection of dishes which are particularly
suitable for your steam oven. You can find out which
temperature, accessories and cooking time to select. Unless
otherwise stated, the information given applies to inserting
accessories when the appliance is cold.
Accessories
Use the accessories provided.
When steaming in the perforated cooking container, always
insert the solid cooking container underneath. Dripping liquid is
caught.
Cookware
When using ovenware, always place it in the middle of the
perforated cooking container.
Ovenware must be heat and steam resistant. Cooking times are
increased if thick-walled ovenware is used.
Food which would normally be prepared in a bain marie should
always be covered with foil (e.g.when melting chocolate).
Cooking time and quantity
The cooking times when steaming depend on the item size, but
do not depend on the total quantity. The appliance can steam
food to a maximum of 1.5 kg.
Follow the unit sizes given in the tables. The cooking time is
reduced for smaller pieces and increased for larger ones.
Cooking time is also influenced by the quality and ripeness of
the food. The values quoted can therefore only serve as a
guideline.
Distributing food evenly
Always distribute the food evenly in the ovenware. It will not
cook evenly if the layers are of different depths.
Pressure-sensitive food
When layering delicate foods in the cooking container, do not
pile them too high. It is better to use two containers.
Cooking a menu
With steam, you can cook a whole menu at once, without the
different flavours mixing. Place the food with the longest
cooking time in the appliance first and delay the rest until the
appropriate time. This means that all the food will be ready at
the same time.
