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 (see "Optional accessories").

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

–Use perforated cooking containers whenever possible so long as the food is suitable, e.g. for 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 more 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 flat containers rather than one deep one for these types of foods, and then fill them only 3 - 5 cm deep. Cooking durations quoted are calculated on this principle. Deeper dishes will take longer to cook.

Heat-resistant glass, ceramic, porcelain, stainless steel and enamel dishes are all suitable. Important:

–The container must be heat resistant to 120 °C.

–Food will take considerably longer to cook than the time quoted if the dish has thick sides.

–Place the dish on the tray supplied.

–Ensure that the dish does not touch the walls of the cooking compartment so that steam can reach the food from all sides.
