General notes

Shelf level

You can select any shelf level. You can also cook on several levels at the same time. This will not alter the cooking duration.

Temperature

A maximum temperature of 100 °C is reached when steam cooking is taking place. Most types of food will cook at this temperature. Some more delicate types of food, such as soft fruit, must be cooked at lower temperatures as otherwise they will burst. More information is given in the relevant section.

Cooking duration (time)

In general, the cooking durations for cooking with steam are the same as for cooking food in a saucepan. More information about any factors which may affect the cooking duration is given in the relevant sections.

The quantity of food does not affect the cooking duration. 1 kg of potatoes will take the same time to cook as 500 g.

The cooking durations given in the charts are guidelines only. We recommend selecting the shorter cooking duration quoted. If food is not cooked sufficiently after the shorter time it can be put back in the oven and cooked for longer.

Cooking with liquid

When cooking with liquid only fill the cooking container 2/3 full to prevent the liquid spilling when the cooking container is removed from the oven.

Your own recipes

Food and recipes which are prepared in pot or a pan can also be cooked using steam. The cooking durations will be the same. Please note that food will not be browned when cooking with steam.
