Cooking duration
In general, the cooking durations for cooking with steam are
the same as for cooking food in a saucepan. More
information about any factors which may affect the cooking
duration is given in the relevant sections.
Provided the steam can evenly get to the pieces of food,
cooking duration is not determined by the quantity of food
being cooked. The cooking duration for 1 kg potatoes is the
same as for 500 g potatoes.
The durations given in the charts are guidelines only. We
recommend selecting the shorter cooking duration quoted to
start with. If food is not cooked sufficiently after the shorter
time, it can be put back in the oven and cooked some more.
Cooking with liquid
When cooking with liquid, only fill the cooking container
2
/
3
full
to prevent the liquid spilling when the cooking container is
removed from the steam oven.
Your own recipes
Food and recipes which are prepared in a pot or a pan can
also be cooked in the steam oven. The cooking times in the
steam oven will be the same. Please note that food will not be
brown or crisp when cooking with steam.
