Practical tips

Suitable containers

Some stainless steel cooking containers are supplied with the appliance. Other containers, in a variety of sizes, both perforated and solid, are available as optional extras.

When choosing the most suitable container for the particular food you are cooking, please note:

–Use perforated cooking containers whenever possible, e.g. for cooking vegetables. The steam can reach the food from all sides and the food is cooked evenly.

–With large items of food, such as whole potatoes, the steam can work effectively because there are spaces between the individual pieces into which the steam can penetrate.This way a large quantity will take the same time to cook as a smaller amount and large, deep containers can be used. Where possible space the food out to allow the steam more room.

–More compact dishes such as casseroles or bakes, or food such as peas or asparagus spears, which have little or no space between them will take longer to cook because the steam has less space to work in. The fuller the container, the longer it will take to cook. It is best to use 2 or 3 shallow containers rather than one deep one for these types of foods, and then fill them only 3-5 cm deep. Cooking times quoted are calculated on this principle. Deeper dishes will take longer to cook.

–To ensure even results when cooking with more than one container, do not use more than one gastronorm size GN 1/2 container.

–The steam oven is designed to cook quantities of up to 6-8 portions. Be careful not to exceed the amounts quoted.

You will find various tips on how to use the steam oven in the following sections or in the cook book.
