How to use the Steam Cooking Tables
The following tables give the required temperature settings, cooking
times and shelf positions for a selection of typical dishes.
•Temperatures and cooking times are for guidance only, as these will
depend on the composition and size of the food, the quantity of
items and type of ovenware.
•If you cannot find the settings for a particular recipe, look for the
one that is most similar.
•Unless otherwise stated, the values given in the tables assume that
steam cooking is started with the oven cold.
