2.3 Operating principle In the steam cooker you can cook, steam cook and
blanch.
Steam cooking consists of cooking in a steam flow.
The temperature range is between 180 °F and
210 °F. The steam transmits the heat. Suitable
foodstuffs are vegetables, potatoes, fish and yeast
dumplings.
The steam seals the food that is being cooked and
prevents a loss of nutrients in the foodstuffs.
Cooked food retains its shape, its colour and its
typical aroma. Foodstuffs are not browned in the
steam cooker.
The appliance offers you the possibility of steam
cooking without pressure using one or two cooking
inserts. When you use the perforated cooking
insert, the steam is able to reach the food on all
sides. This ensures uniform cooking even of large
quantities of food.
You can also set the cooking liquid temperature in
10 °F stages between 100 and 200 °F. This precise
adjustment of the water temperature allows you, for
example, to melt chocolate icing, poach meat or
boil pasta.
Only add salt and stock cubes to the hot water.
The cooking basin is to a great extent
corrosion proof, however, in certain cases, for
example salt, can cause damage to the
material.
The appliance is suitable for use with water or
cooking liquid only. Do not use the appliance for
deep frying.
Tips when using for the first time
Thoroughly clean the appliance and accessories
with mild soap detergent before using them for
the first time. This will eliminate any 'newness’
smells and soiling. Fill the cooking basin up to the
boil-over rim with clean water. Replace the glass
lid and operate the appliance at the steam
cooking level for 30 minutes. During this time the
appliance calibrates itself automatically. During
calibration you might notice more steam than
usual. Drain the water.
The boiling point of water depends on your
location in relation to sea level. When operating
for the first time, the appliance calibrates itself
automatically to the correct setting.
Should you move to a different area, the appliance
has to be re-calibrated. Fill the cooking basin up
to the boil-over rim with water and replace the
glass lid. Turn the “Temperature” control knob
three times from the position 200 °F to the steam
cooking level and finally leave it on the steam
cooking level. The appliance then calibrates itself
automatically. This will take about 10 minutes.
Do not take off the glass lid during the calibration
process.
