Suitable containers
Some stainless steel cooking
containers are supplied with the
appliance. Other containers, in a variety
of sizes, both perforated and solid, are
available as optional extras.
When choosing the most suitable
container for the particular food you are
cooking, please note:
– Use perforated cooking containers
whenever possible, e.g. for cooking
vegetables. The steam can reach the
food from all sides and the food is
cooked evenly.
– With large items of food, such as
whole potatoes, the steam can work
effectively because there are spaces
between the individual pieces into
which the steam can penetrate.This
way a large quantity will take the
same time to cook as a smaller
amount and large, deep containers
can be used. Where possible space
the food out to allow the steam more
room.
– More compact dishes such as
casseroles or bakes, or food such as
peas or asparagus spears, which
have little or no space between them
will take longer to cook because the
steam has less space to work in. The
fuller the container, the longer it will
take to cook. It is best to use 2 or 3
shallow containers rather than one
deep one for these types of foods,
and then fill them only 3-5 cm deep.
Cooking times quoted are calculated
on this principle. Deeper dishes will
take longer to cook.
– To ensure even results when cooking
with more than one container, do not
use more than one gastronorm size
GN 1/2 container.
– The steam oven is designed to cook
quantities of up to 6-8 portions. Be
careful not to exceed the amounts
quoted.
You will find various tips on how to use
the steam oven in the following sections
or in the cook book.
