This 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 retained as the food is

not immersed in water.

Cooking with steam also retains the true taste of the food

better than conventional cooking. We therefore recommend

seasoning the food after it has been cooked. Food also

retains its fresh, original colour.

Suitable containers

Cooking containers

This steam oven is supplied with stainless steel cooking

containers. Other containers, in a variety of sizes, both

perforated and solid, are available as optional extras (please

refer to "Optional accessories"). This enables you to choose

the most suitable container for the food you are preparing.

It is best to use perforated containers for steam cooking. The

steam can reach the food from all sides and the food is

cooked evenly.

Your own containers

You can also use your own containers. However, please note

the following:

–

Containers must be heat-resistant to 100 °C and able to

withstand hot steam. With plastic containers please check

with the manufacturer that they are suitable for use in a

steam oven.

–

Thick-sided containers made from porcelain, china or

stoneware, for example, are not so suitable for steam

cooking. They do not conduct heat well and as a result

cooking durations will be considerably longer than those

given in the charts.
