8. Tips and tricks

General:

–The appliance does not need long to heat up.

It therefore operates in an extremely energy and time-saving fashion.

–Cooking times depend on the quality, weight and height of the food. This is why specified values can only serve as recommendations.

–Food being cooked must not come into contact with the oven compartment, the grease filter or the air baffle.

–The steam oven door must seal well. So always keep the door seal faces clean.

–Do not place too much on wire grill and in receptacles. This will ensure optimum circulation of the air.

What are all the things you can do better with the steam oven?

–Cook potatoes in the perforated receptacle. By doing so, you will ensure that the steam can reach the potatoes from all sides. This will make cooking more intensive.

–Use the perforated insert to boil large quantities of eggs. Please note: Compared to an egg boiler, the cooking time is extended by 2-3 minutes. You will have to preheat the appliance if you want to boil soft eggs.

–You can collect vegetable juices by placing the unperforated insert in the bottom rack.

–For foods that are sensitive to pressure (such as dumplings), you are best using two low cooking receptacles rather than just one. By doing so, you will ensure that items do not lie on one another and cannot get crushed.

–Peel tomatoes: cut into the tomatoes and place them in the steam for 1 to 2 minutes. Then dip the tomatoes in ice water.

–You can even decrystallise honey with your steam oven. To do this, set a temperature of 60 °C / 140 °F and a moisture level of 100 % steam.

Tips on how to save energy and protect the environment:

–Give good thought to what foods you can cook at the same time. This will ensure an even load on your appliance and will save you time and energy.

–Avoid opening the steam oven door frequently and for prolonged periods. Otherwise, generated steam and heat can escape unhindered and then has to be generated again. This involves a loss of large amounts of energy and prolongs the cooking time.

–You can often use several levels at once (when steaming with up to 100 °C / 210 °F , not when baking).

Thawing tips:

–Only thaw the quantity you need.

–Please remember: once food has been thawed, it may not be possible to keep it for as long as intended and it will perish faster than fresh food.

–Thawing: thaw pieces of meat that you intend to bread long enough to ensure that spices and the bread crumbs will adhere to the meat.

–Thawing poultry: remove poultry from its

packaging before thawing. Important: pour away the thawed water.

–You can store kitchen herbs frozen and you can use them unthawed.

–Thawing and heating in steam is possible instead of a bain-marie. Leave the meal in the bag or put in directly on a plate.

Sterilising:

–If possible preserve foodstuffs immediately after buying or harvesting them. Prolonged storage reduces their vitamin content and leads easily to fermentation.

–Only ever use fruit and vegetables that are in a perfect state. Examine preserving jars and rubber rings exactly. Check clips and springs. Sterilise the jars and clean the rubber rings. Rinse them with hot water.
