Meat – cooking at higher temperatures ▯ The combination of steam and hot air is the optimal cooking process for many types of meat. The cooking compartment is hermetically sealed in this mode, the moisture prevents the meat from drying out as in conventional hot air. Thanks to the variable humidity control, the optimal climate can be achieved for every type of food.

Poultry ▯ The humidity for combination operation prevents the drying out, which is essential with poultry. At the same time, thanks to the high temperature, the surface gets crispy and brown. The hot steam has twice as much ability to transfer heat as conventional hot air and reaches all parts of the food. Therefore, a chicken is browned evenly and gets crispy, yet the breast meat remains tender and juicy.
Sous-vide cooking Sous-vide cooking is a method of cooking under a vacuum at low temperatures between 120 - 200°F (50 95 °C) and in 100% steam. Sous-vide cooking is a gentle, low-fat method of preparing meat, fish, vegetables and desserts. A vacuum-packing machine is used to heat-seal the food in a special air-tight, heat-resistant cooking bag. The protective envelope retains the nutrients and flavors.

Dough proving (leaving to rise) ▯ The combination steam oven offers the ideal climate for letting rise and making baked goods without drying out. ▯ The bowl does not have to be covered with a damp cloth. Rising takes only half as long as in the usual way. ▯ For this, use the "Hot air + 60% humidity" operation mode. ▯ The suggested cooking time is only a guideline. Let the dough rise until its volume has doubled.
Defrosting ▯ ▯ In the steam oven you can gently and evenly thaw deep frozen foods faster than at room temperature. ▯ Use the "Defrosting" mode W to do this. ▯ The specified thawing times are for your orientation only. The time it takes to thaw depends on the size and weight of the frozen food: freeze your foods flatly or individually. This shortens the thawing time. ▯ Take foods out of the packaging before thawing them. ▯ Thaw only the amount you immediately need.
