Menu cooking, Shelf level | Miele DGC 5085 XL, DGC 5080 XL guide

Menu cooking

You can use the steam oven to cook a whole meal containing types of food which have different cooking durations, e.g. fish fillet with rice and broccoli. The food which has the longest cooking duration is placed in the steam oven first and then each subsequent dish is placed in the oven at the appropriate time so that the whole meal is ready at the same time.

Shelf level

When cooking fish or food with a distinctive colour (e.g. beetroot), do not place any other cooking containers directly underneath to avoid any transfer of flavour or colour to other food. Depending on their size, several containers can be used on the same level.

Temperature

Whole meals should be cooked at a temperature of 100 °C as this is the temperature required to cook the majority of foods. Do not cook a whole meal at the lowest temperature when different temperatures are required for different types of food, e.g. 85 °C for seabream and 100 °C for potatoes.

If the recommended cooking temperature for the food is

85 °C for example, try cooking it at 100 °C and testing the result. Some delicate types of fish with a soft structure, e.g. sole and plaice will become very firm when cooked at 100 °C.

Duration

If you are increasing the recommended temperature, shorten the cooking duration by approx. 1/3.
