Advantages of steam cooking
The steam cooking system cooks any type of
food much smoother and faster and finds its
main applications for:
• Braising and stewing
• Cooking sauces
• Cooking au gratin
• Roasting
• Low temperature cooking
• Regenerating
• Multi-mode cooking
Variations in temperature and steam levels allow
the wished gastronomic result to be achieved.
The addition of steam allows the use of less fat in
favour of a healthier and more genuine cuisine.
It also minimizes the loss of weight and volume
in food while cooking.
Steam cooking is particularly suitable for
cooking meat: in addition to making it very soft,
it maintains it bright and makes it more succulent.
Also recommended for baking leavened and
bread dough. The humidity in fact lets the dough
grow and develop while cooking before
creating the outer crust. The result is a lighter and
more digestible dough, recognizable by thicker
pockets.
It is also ideal for defrosting food rapidly, for
heating up foods without hardening or drying
them out, and for naturally removing salt from
foodstuffs preserved with salt.
It is not recommended for short cooking times or
for foods that may produce a large amount of
moisture during cooking.
Cooking containers
• You may also use your own containers for
cooking, as long as they are resistant to high
temperatures.
• For steam cooking, the use of metal
containers is recommended. Metal
facilitates better distribution of heat to the
foods.
• It is normal for metal containers to deform
somewhat during high-temperature cooking,
but they will return to their original shape
when they cool down.
• Thick ceramic plates may require more heat
than normal. Longer cooking times may be
necessary.
