Steam Cooking
The advantages of cooking with steam
Vitamins and minerals are better retained, as the food is not
immersed in water.
When cooked with steam, food retains its natural taste better
than with conventional cooking. We therefore recommend not
to season the food at all or only after it has been cooked.
Food retains its fresh, natural color.
Suitable cooking utensils
Cooking pans
Included with the appliance are stainless steel cooking pans.
In addition, further cooking pans of different sizes are
available, which can be supplied either perforated or solid
(see "Optional accessories"). This allows the most suitable
cooking pans to be selected for a particular food.
It is best to use perforated pans for
steam cooking
if
possible. This enables the steam to reach the food from all
sides allowing the dish to be evenly cooked.
Using your own pans
You can also use your own pans. But please note the
following:
– Pans must be heat-resistant to 212°F / 100°C and able to
withstand hot steam. Plastic pans can only be used for
Steam Cooking if the manufacturer specifies that they are
suitable for such use.
– Thick-sided pans made of porcelain, china or stoneware,
for example, are less suitable for Steam Cooking. They do
not conduct heat well, thus cooking times will be
considerably longer than those given in the charts.
