The advantages of cooking with steam

Vitamins and minerals are retained better, as the food is not immersed in water.

When cooked with steam, food retains its natural taste better than with conventional cooking. We therefore recommend not to season the food at all or only after it has been cooked.

Food retains its fresh, natural color.

Suitable cooking utensils

Cooking pans

Included with the steam oven are stainless steel cooking pans. Other pans, in a variety of sizes, both perforated and solid, are available as optional extras (see "Optional accessories"). This enables you to choose the most suitable pan for the food you are preparing.

It is best to use perforated pans for Steam Cooking. This enables the steam to reach the food from all sides and the dish is evenly cooked.

Your own pans

You can also use your own pans. However, please note the following:

Pans must be heat-resistant to 212°F / 100°C and able to withstand hot steam. Plastic pans can only be used for Steam Cooking if the manufacturer specifies that they are suitable for such use.

Thick-sided pans made of porcelain, china or stoneware, for example, are less suitable for Steam Cooking. They do not conduct heat well, thus cooking times will be considerably longer than those given in the charts.
