Shelf level
You can select any shelf level. You can
a
lso cook on several levels at the same
time. This will not alter the cooking
duration.
When using more than one deep
co
ntainer at the same time for steam
cooking it is best to offset them on their
runners and to leave at least one level
free in between them.
Always insert cooking containers and
th
e rack between the rails of the shelf
level supports so that they cannot tip.
Frozen food
The heating up phase for frozen food is
longer than for fresh food. The greater
the quantity of frozen food, the longer
the heating up phase.
Temperature
A maximum temperature of 100 °C is
r
eached when steam cooking is taking
place. Most types of food will cook at
this temperature. Some more delicate
types of food, such as soft fruit, must
be cooked at lower temperatures as
otherwise they will burst. More
information is given in the relevant
section.
Combination with a warming drawer
When the warming
drawer is in use the
oven cavity in the steam oven can get
up to 40 °C. If, in this case, you set a
temperature of 40 °C (Steam cooking)
or 30–40 °C and 100 % moisture
(Combination cooking), steam will not
be produced because the oven cavity is
too warm.
Duration
In general, the cooking durations for
coo
king 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.
The quantity of food does not affect the
cooking duration. 1 kg of potatoes will
take the same time to cook as 500 g.
The durations given in the charts are
gui
delines 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 for longer.
Cooking with liquid
When cooking with liquid only fill the
coo
king container ²/₃ full to prevent the
liquid spilling when the cooking
container is removed from the oven.
Your own recipes - steam
cooking
Food and recipes which are prepared in
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.
