Practical tips

Tips on steaming

We recommend using:

–Steam with pressure ° 120 °C for rapidly cooking robust foods.

–Steam without pressure P 100 °C for gently cooking delicate foods.

–You can select any shelf level. You can also cook on several levels at the same time. This will not alter the cooking duration.

–When cooking frozen food, e.g. vegetables, ensure that any large clumps frozen together are broken up first so that they cook evenly. The cooking duration is approximately the same as for fresh vegetables.

–Frozen and fresh vegetables which take the same length of time to cook can be cooked together.

–Cooking with steam retains the true taste of the food better than conventional cooking. Therefore food should not be seasoned until after it has been cooked.

–Only fill solid containers 3/4 full with liquid.

–Dried foods like pasta and rice must be cooked in liquid. Pasta should be well covered with liquid. With rice, pulses etc. the proportion of food to liquid should be 1:1.

–When cooking pasta and noodles, follow the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging regarding cooking duration.

–Cooking liquids do not boil away. They are either absorbed by the food, as with rice and pasta, or they remain in the dish to form a sauce, as with casseroles. The sauce can then be thickened or added to after cooking.

–You can thicken sauces in the steam oven by adding flour and butter to liquid (40 g flour and 40 g butter to 0.5 litres liquid).

–Grease perforated containers beforehand if used for cooking fish in its skin, and solid containers if used for cooking dishes containing eggs.
