General notes
74
The “General Notes” section contains
general information. You will find more
detailed information about particular
foods and how to cook them in the
other sections.
The advantages of cooking
with steam
Almost all vitamins and minerals are re-
tained as the food is not immersed in
water.
Cooking with steam also retains the
true taste of the food better than con-
ventional cooking. We therefore recom-
mend seasoning the food after it has
been cooked. Food also retains its
fresh, original color.
Suitable containers
Cooking containers
Stainless-steel cooking containers are
provided with the steam oven. Other
containers, in a variety of sizes, both
perforated and solid, are available as
optional extras (see “Optional acces-
sories”). This enables you to choose the
most suitable container for the meal
you are preparing.
Use perforated cooking containers for
steam cooking if possible. The steam
can reach the food from all sides and
the food is cooked evenly.
Your own dishware
You can also use your own dishware.
However, please note the following:
- Dishware must be suitable for use in
an oven and able to withstand steam.
With plastic dishware, please check
with the manufacturer that it is suit-
able for use in a steam oven.
- Thick-sided dishware made from
porcelain, ceramic, or stoneware is
not very suitable for using with
steam. Due to its thick sides, it does
not conduct heat well, meaning
cooking durations will be consider-
ably longer than those given in the
charts.
- Place the dishware on the wire rack
or in a cooking container. Depending
on the size of the dishware, you can
also place the wire rack on the floor
of the oven compartment with the
rack surface facing up and the dish-
ware on top. You can also take the
side racks out to make more room
(see “Cleaning the side racks” under
“Cleaning and care for the steam
oven”).
- Ensure that there is a gap between
the upper rim of the dishware and the
top of the oven compartment to allow
sufficient steam into the dishware.
