•The consistency/structure of the products are preserved. Vegetables retain their
appetising and fresh colour.
•Different products can be prepared simultaneously, for instance fish and vegetables,
as flavour is not transferred from one product to the other.
•Fish should ALWAYS be steamed at a temperature below 80°C, to prevent the
albumen from coagulating and the fish from “shrinking”.
•Gentle steaming process during which even delicate products retain their consistency
and colour.
•Suitable for the preparation of fish and minced meat.
•Possibility of a more accurate temperature control as compared to cooking in a pot.
•Very little shrinkage, especially in fatty foods.
• In LOW-TEMPERATURE STEAMING, vegetables can be kept warm at approx.
70°C for a long time without turning into a mash.
Note! ‘Green’ vegetables should be steamed at at least 85°C, as, otherwise, they will
lose their colour.
•When possible, use perforated containers.
•Deep-frozen vegetables can be steamed directly from the freezer.
•For certain ‘delicate’ products such as fish, shellfish, sausages, pâtés, poultry and
desserts, new variations of taste can be developed. Furthermore, good results are
achieved with diet food.
•Vegetables should only be steamed until they are almost done, as the steaming
process continues for a short while after they have come out of the oven.
Vacuum / sous-vide preparation
LOW-TEMPERATURE STEAMING is ideal for the preparation of sous-vide products. The
slightly prepared products are ‘welded’ into plastic bags and then further prepared at the
required gentle and low temperatures. Very rapid cooling down to approx. +2°C is necessary.
At the end of the preparation process, the vacuum-packed products are placed on grills and
“heated” by low-temperature steaming at 75 - 90°C depending on the type and size of the food
product.
