Boiling down

▯In the steam oven, you can preserve fruit and vegetables without much effort.

▯If possible, boil down foodstuffs directly after shopping or harvesting. Prolonged storage reduces vitamin content and leads easily to fermentation.

▯Use only fruit and vegetables that are in a perfect state.

▯The steam oven is not suitable for preserving meat.

▯Check and conscientiously clean preserving jars, rubber rings, clamps and springs.

▯Disinfect rinsed jars before preserving in your steam oven at 212°F (100 °C) and 100% humidity for 20-25 minutes.

▯Place preserving jars in the perforated cooking receptacles. They must not touch each other.

▯Open the oven interior door after the cooking time has elapsed. Do not remove preserving jars from the oven interior until they have cooled down fully.
