Cooking whole meals
It is very economical and practical to
cook a whole meal at the same time in
the steam oven.
In general, cooking durations will vary
according to the type of food. This
means that you will need to open the
steam oven at different times to add a
particular dish. Our test kitchen
recommends the following procedure,
as shown in this example using Steam
with pressure °:
Lamb stew 8 minutes
Potatoes 8 minutes
Carrots 4 minutes
Proceed as follows:
^ First place the food with the longest
cooking duration (the lamb stew and
the potatoes) in the steam oven.
^ Select Steam with pressure °
120 °C.
^
Calculate the initial cooking duration
by subtracting the duration for the
carrots from the duration for lamb
stew / potatoes, i.e. 8 minutes less 4
minutes = 4 minutes.
^
Set a duration of 4 minutes and press
the Start/Stop button.
^
Once the 4 minutes and also the
cooling down phase has elapsed,
place the second dish (carrots) in the
oven.
^
Set the cooking duration for the
second dish, i. e. 4 minutes.
^
Press the Start/Stop button.
At the end of the cooking duration you
can remove all three dishes at the same
time.
Blanching
You can use your steam oven to blanch
vegetables and fruit for freezing.
^
Put the prepared fruit or vegetables
into a perforated container and place
it in the oven.
^
Select Steam without pressure P
100 °C.
^ Set a time of 1-2 minutes.
^ Press the Start/Stop button.
^ Once blanched, plunge the
vegetables/fruit into ice cold water to
cool them down quickly. Drain them
well.
The vegetables/fruit can now be frozen.
