  • Page 39: Temperature

    General notes Temperature The highest temperature reached in the steam oven is 100 °C. Almost all food can be cooked at this temperature. Some delicate foods (e.g. berries) must be cooked at lower temperatures, otherwise they will burst. Information is provided about this in the relevant sections of this booklet.
  • Page 40: Steam Cooking

    Steam cooking Vegetables Fresh vegetables Prepare fresh vegetables in the usual way, i.e. wash, clean and cut up. Frozen vegetables Frozen vegetables do not need to be defrosted beforehand unless the vegetables have been frozen together in a block. To cook frozen vegetables, programme the same time as for fresh ones.
  • Page 41 Steam cooking Duration As with conventional methods, when cooking vegetables with steam the cooking duration will depend on the size and also whether you want the vegetables to be al dente or soft. Example: Firm potatoes, cut into quarters = approx. 18 minutes Firm potatoes, cut in half = approx.

  • Page 44: Meat

    Steam cooking Meat Fresh food Prepare the meat in the usual way. Frozen food Meat should be thoroughly defrosted before cooking in the steam oven (see "Defrosting"). Preparation Meat which needs to be seared before being cooked, e.g. stewing steak, should be seared in a pan on the cooktop. Cooking duration The cooking duration depends on the thickness and consistency of the food and not the weight.
  • Page 45 Steam cooking Settings Further programmes > Cook meat, or Steam cooking 2 Temperature: 100 °C Duration: see chart The durations given in the chart 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.

  • Page 47: Fish

    Steam cooking Fish Fresh fish Prepare fresh fish in the usual way, i.e. clean, gut and fillet. Frozen fish Fish should be at least partially defrosted before cooking (see "Defrosting"). Preparation Add some lemon or lime juice to fish before cooking. The citric acid helps the flesh stay firm.
  • Page 48 Steam cooking Duration The cooking duration depends on the thickness and consistency of the food and not the weight. The thicker the food, 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.
  • Page 49 Steam cooking The durations given in the chart are guidelines for fresh fish. We recommend selecting the shorter cooking duration quoted to start with. If the fish is not cooked sufficiently after the shorter time, it can be put back in the steam combi oven and cooked some more.
  • Page 50: Shellfish

When using a solid container for preparing egg dishes, remember to grease it first.
  • Page 59: Fruit

  • Page 60: Menu Cooking

    Steam cooking Menu cooking Switch off steam reduction when doing menu cooking (see "Settings"). Menu cooking involves cooking various foods with different cooking times in order to serve them all together in one meal, e.g. Perch with rice and broccoli. Foods are placed in the steam oven at different times so that they are all ready at the same time.
  • Page 61 Steam cooking Example Rice 20 minutes Perch fillet 6 minutes Broccoli 4 minutes 20 minutes - 6 minutes= 14 minutes (1st cooking duration: rice) 6 minutes - 4 minutes = 2 minutes (2nd cooking duration: perch fillet) Remaining time 4 minutes (3rd cooking duration: broccoli) Cooking 20 min.
  • Page 62: Special Applications

    Special applications Reheat The steam oven is very effective at reheating food gently, without drying it out or cooking it further.

  • Page 63 Special applications Procedure ^ Cover the food with a deep plate, a lid, or with clingfilm that is resistant to temperatures up to 100 °C and to steam. ^ Then place plates or cooking containers on the rack in the oven.
  • Page 64: Defrost

    Special applications Defrost It is much quicker to defrost items in the steam oven than at room temperature. Temperature 60 °C is the best temperature for defrosting. Exceptions: 50 °C for minced meat and game. Before and after defrosting Remove all packaging before defrosting. Exceptions: Leave bread, biscuits and cakes in their packaging as otherwise they will absorb moisture and become soft.
  • Page 65 Special applications Useful tips 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. When defrosting food which has frozen together, e.g. berries, chops, fish fillets etc.

  • Page 71: Extracting Juice

    Special applications Extracting juice You can use the steam combi oven to extract juices from fruit, such as soft berries and cherries. It is best to use overripe fruit as the riper the fruit, the greater the quantity of juice produced. Very ripe fruit will also produce a more intense flavour.
  • Page 72: Making Yoghurt

    Special applications Making yoghurt To prepare yoghurt, you will need milk and live culture or yoghurt starter powder, e.g. from a health food store. Use natural yoghurt with live culture and without additives. Do not use heat-treated yoghurt. The yoghurt must be fresh (short storage time). You can use either unchilled long-life milk or fresh milk.
