General notes when cooking with Steam
Cooking time (duration)
In general, the cooking times for cooking with steam are the same as for cooking food on a cooktop. More information about any factors which may affect the cooking duration is given in the relevant sections of this manual.
The quantity of food does not affect the cooking time. 2 lbs (1 kg) potatoes will take the same time to cook as 1 lb (500 g) potatoes.
The cooking times given in the tables are guidelines only. Select a shorter cooking time, additional time can be added if necessary.
Cooking with liquid
When cooking with liquid only fill the cooking pan 2/3 full to prevent the liquid spilling when the cooking pan is removed from the oven.
Your own recipes
Any food and recipes which are prepared in a pot or a pan can also be cooked in the steam mode. The cooking times will be the same. Please note that food will not brown when cooked with steam.
