Practical tips

Disinfecting containers

The steam oven will disinfect baby bottles and other containers so that at the end of the programme they are as germ free as they would have been had they been boiled. Check beforehand that all parts, teats etc. are declared by the manufacturer to be heat resistant to 100 °C and also that they can withstand hot steam.

^Dismantle, clean and thoroughly rinse baby bottles. Place the individual parts in a perforated cooking container, ensuring that they do not touch one another. Cover the cooking container with the tray or the lid.

^Select Steam without pressure P100 °C.

^Set and confirm a duration of 15 minutes.

All parts of the bottles must be completely dry before they are reassembled to keep them germ free.

Preparing yoghurt

^To prepare yoghurt you will need

100 g yoghurt (with live culture) and

1 litre of milk. The yoghurt and milk should have the same percentage fat content.

You can either use unchilled long-life milk or fresh milk. Fresh milk will, however, give a better set. If using fresh milk it should first be heated up to 90°C (do not boil it), and then left to cool.

^Mix the yoghurt and the milk together and then pour the mixture into 6 or 7 portion sized glass jars or special yoghurt jars. Seal the jars.

^Place the jars in a perforated container, ensuring that they do not touch one another.

^Select Steam without pressure P and reduce the recommended temperature to 40 °C.

^Set a duration of 5 hours.

Allow the yoghurt to cool and then place in the refrigerator. It will not achieve its maximum set until it has been thoroughly chilled.
