Steam cooking
63
Different types of vegetables which take
the same length of time to cook can be
cooked together in one cooking
container.
Vegetables that need to be cooked in
liquid, e.g. red cabbage, must be put in
solid cooking containers.
Shelf level
If you cook vegetables that could stain
other food in an unperforated cooking
container, e.g. beetroot, do not put any
other food underneath. This avoids any
transfer of colour to other food by
preventing liquid dripping onto food
below it.
Cooking duration
The cooking duration depends on the
size of the food and how well cooked
you want it, just as it does with
conventional cooking methods.
Example:
Firm potatoes, cut into quarters:
approx. 25minutes
Firm potatoes, cut in half:
approx. 30minutes
Fish
Fresh
Prepare fresh fish in the usual way, i.e.
clean, gut and fillet.
Frozen
Fish does not need to be fully defrosted
before cooking. Defrost so that the
surface is sufficiently thawed to take
herbs and seasoning. Depending on the
thickness of the fish, 2–5 minutes
should be enough.
Preparation
Add some lemon or lime juice to fish
before cooking. The citric acid helps the
flesh stay firm.
It is not necessary to season fish when
cooking with steam as this method
retains the minerals which give the fish
its unique flavour.
Cooking containers
If using a perforated container, grease it
first or line it with baking paper.
Shelf level
When cooking fish in a perforated
container at the same time as cooking
other types of food in other containers,
place the container with the fish directly
above the universal tray to catch any
liquid and so avoid any transfer of
tastes to other food.
Temperature
85°C – 90°C
For gently cooking delicate types of
fish, such as flounder.
100°C
For cooking firmer types of fish, e.g.
salmon.
Also for cooking fish in sauce or stock.
Duration
The cooking duration depends on the
thickness and the texture of the fish,
and not on the weight. The thicker the
fish, the longer the cooking duration. A
3cm thick piece of fish weighing 500g
will take longer to cook than a 2 cm
thick piece of fish weighing 500g.
