Steam cooking
The advantages of cooking with steam
Almost all vitamins and minerals are retained as the food is
not immersed in water.
Cooking with steam also retains the true taste of the food
better than conventional cooking. We therefore recommend
seasoning the food after it has been cooked. Food retains its
fresh, original colour.
Suitable containers
Cooking containers
This appliance is supplied with stainless steel cooking
containers. Other containers, in a variety of sizes, both
perforated and solid, are available as optional extras (see
"Optional accessories"). This enables you to choose the most
suitable container for the food you are preparing. Use
perforated containers for
steam cooking
. These enable
steam to reach food from all sides and help it cook evenly.
Your own containers
You can also use your own containers. However, please note
the following:
– The container must be suitable for using in an oven and
must be steam resistant. Plastic containers can only be
used for steam cooking if the manufacturer has stated that
they are suitable for such use.
– Thick-sided containers are not very suitable for using with
steam. They do not conduct heat well and, as a result,
cooking durations will be considerably longer than those
given in the charts.
– Place the cooking containers on the rack or on a suitable
tray, and not on the oven floor.
