Practical tips
Meal planning
It is very economical and practical to cook a whole meal at the same time in the steam oven.
Proceed as follows:
^Place cooking containers on different levels or place them side by side or one on top of the other on the rack.
In general, cooking durations will vary according to the type of food. This means that you will need to open the steam oven at different times to add a particular dish. Our test kitchen recommends the following procedure, as shown in this example (Function: Cook Universal / 100 °C):
Rice | 20 minutes |
Fish fillet | 6 minutes |
Broccoli | 4 minutes |
^First place the dish with the longest cooking duration, e.g. the rice, in the oven.
^To calculate the cooking duration subtract the shorter cooking time from the longer time, i.e. 14 minutes and confirm your selection.
^After 14 minutes, place the second dish in the oven, e.g. the fish fillet.
^To calculate the next cooking duration subtract the time for the broccoli from the time for the fish: 6 - 4 = 2. Set a time of 2 minutes and confirm your selection.
^After 2 minutes, place the third dish in the oven, e.g. the broccoli.
^Set the cooking duration of the third dish, i.e. 4 minutes and confirm your selection.
At the end of the cooking duration you can remove all the dishes at the same time.
