General notes

The "General Notes" section contains
general information. You will find more
detailed information about particular
foods and how to cook them in the
other sections.
The advantages of cooking
with steam
Almost all vitamins and minerals are re-
tained as the food is not immersed in
water.
Cooking with steam also retains the
true taste of the food better than con-
ventional cooking. We therefore recom-
mend seasoning the food after it has
been cooked. Food also retains its
fresh, original color.
Suitable containers
Cooking pans
This steam oven is supplied with stain-
less steel cooking pans. Other contain-
ers, in a variety of sizes, both perforated
and solid, are available as optional ex-
tras (see "Optional accessories"). This
enables you to choose the most suit-
able container for the food you are pre-
paring.
It is best to use perforated pans for
Steam Cooking
. The steam can reach
the food from all sides and the food is
cooked evenly.
Using your own cookware
You can also use your own cookware.
However, please note the following:
– It must be suitable for using in an
oven and must be steam resistant.
Plastic cookware can only be used
for steam cooking if the manufacturer
has stated that they are suitable for
such use.
– Thick-sided dishes made from porce-
lain, china or stoneware, for example,
are not as suitable for steam cooking.
They do not conduct heat well and as
a result cooking durations will be
considerably longer than those given
in the charts.
– Place the cookware on the rack or in
a suitable cooking container and not
on the oven floor.
– Ensure that there is a gap between
the upper rim of the dish and the top
of the cooking compartment to allow
sufficient steam into the container.
