6.4 Tips and tricks

–The steam cooker may be used with max. two cooking inserts at the same time.

–When steaming with two cooking inserts, you can either place the inserts simultaneously in the cooking basin or you can insert them during the cooking process. When using this method, please make sure that you insert the food with the longer cooking time first. Make sure you insert the perforated insert under the unperforated insert. Do not insert the other cooking insert until the time remaining for the second item you intend to cook has been reached. In this way, you can make sure that meals that require different cooking times will be ready at the same time.

–Food cooked in steam has a more intensive taste than food cooked by conventional means. Therefore, you can largely dispense with the need for additional spicing. This means that the appliance is also suitable for diets.

–Nutrients, vitamins and minerals are retained, as well as taste, shape and colour. Prepare the food without fat!

–If possible, always fit the cover. The steam condenses on the cover and drips back onto the food. Steam and energy losses are prevented/avoided by a well sealing cover.

–Cooked food does not come into contact with the boiling water. Therefore, it is enveloped completely by the steam and is not drained of its goodness by water.

–Cooking in steam is an energy-saving means of preparing food.

–Always preheat the steam cooker! This shortens the cooking time and loss of nutrients from foodstuffs are minimised.
