General notes This section contains general information. You will find more detailed information about particular foods and how to cook them in the other sections. The advantages of cooking with steam Almost all vitamins and minerals are retained as the food is not immersed in water. Cooking with steam also retains the true taste of the food better than conventional cooking. We therefore recommend seasoning the food after it has been cooked. Food also retains its fresh, original colour.
General notes – Place the cooking containers on the rack and not on the oven floor. – Ensure that there is a gap between the upper rim of the container and the top of the cooking compartment to allow sufficient steam into the container. Condensate tray Place the condensate tray on the lowest shelf runner when using perforated containers. The tray will collect any drops of liquid and allow them to be removed easily. You can also use the condensate tray as a cooking container if necessary.
General notes Temperature A maximum temperature of 100 °C is reached in the steam oven. Most types of food will cook at this temperature. Some more delicate types of food, such as soft fruit, must be cooked at lower temperatures as otherwise they will burst. More information is given in the relevant section. Combination with a warming drawer When the warming drawer is in use the oven cavity in the steam oven can get up to 40 °C.
Steam cooking Vegetables Fresh Prepare fresh vegetables in the usual way, i.e. wash, clean and cut them up. Frozen Frozen vegetables do not need to be defrosted beforehand, unless they have been frozen together in a block. Frozen and fresh vegetables which take the same length of time to cook can be cooked together. Break up vegetables that have frozen together in a lump and follow instructions on the packaging regarding cooking duration.
Steam cooking Duration As with conventional methods, when cooking vegetables with steam the cooking duration will depend on the size and also whether you want the vegetables to be al dente or soft/well done. Example: firm potatoes, cut into quarters = approx. 18 minutes firm potatoes, cut in half = approx. 22 minutes Brussels sprouts, large, al dente = approx. 12 minutes Brussels sprouts, small, soft = approx. 12 minutes Settings Automatic programmes > Vegetables > ...

Steam cooking Meat Fresh Prepare the meat in the usual way. Frozen Meat should be thoroughly defrosted before cooking in the steam oven (see "Defrosting"). Preparation For meat which needs to be seared before being cooked, e.g. stew, sear the meat in a pan on the hob first. Duration The cooking duration depends on the thickness and the texture of the meat, and not on the weight. The thicker the piece of meat, the longer the cooking duration.
Steam cooking Settings Automatic programmes > Meat > ... > Steam cooking or Steam cooking Temperature: 100 °C Duration: see chart The durations given in the charts are guidelines only. We recommend selecting the shorter cooking duration quoted to start with. If food is not cooked sufficiently after the shorter time it can be put back in the oven and cooked for longer.
Steam cooking Sausages Settings Automatic programmes > Sausages > ...
Steam cooking Fish Fresh Prepare fresh fish in the usual way, i.e. clean, gut and fillet. Frozen Defrost frozen fish before cooking (see "Defrosting"). Preparation Add some lemon or lime juice to fish before cooking. The citric acid helps the flesh stay firm. It is not necessary to season fish with salt when cooking with steam as this method retains the minerals which give the fish its unique flavour. Cooking containers If using a perforated container, grease it first.
Steam cooking Duration The cooking duration depends on the thickness and the texture of the fish, and not on the weight. The thicker the fish, the longer the cooking duration. A 3 cm thick piece of fish weighing 500 g will take longer to cook than a 2 cm thick piece of fish weighing 500 g. The longer fish cooks, the firmer its flesh will become. Use the cooking durations given in the chart. If you find that the fish is not cooked sufficiently only cook it for a few minutes more.

Steam cooking Menu cooking (cooking whole meals) - manually Before cooking meals with the Menu cooking function switch off the steam reduction system (see "Settings"). 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. Each dish is placed in the oven at different times so that they are all ready at the same time. Shelf level When cooking fish or food with a distinctive colour (e.g.
Steam cooking Example Rice Fish fillet Broccoli 20 minutes 6 minutes 4 minutes 20 minutes less 6 minutes = 14 minutes (1st duration: rice) 6 minutes less 4 minutes = 2 minutes (2nd duration: fish fillet) Remaining time = 4 minutes (3rd duration: broccoli) Durations 20 min - rice 6 min - fish fillet 4 min broccoli Setting 14 min 2 min 4 min ^ Make sure Steam reduction has been deactivated. ^ Place the rice in the oven first. ^ Set the first cooking duration: 14 minutes.
Special applications Reheating The steam oven is very effective at reheating food gently, without drying it out or cooking it further. The food will reheat evenly and does not need to be stirred during the reheating process. You can reheat individual dishes or plated meals which have been prepared previously (e.g. meat, vegetables and potatoes). Suitable containers Small quantities can be reheated on a plate, larger quantities should be placed in a cooking container.
Special applications Procedure ^ Cover the food with a deep plate, a lid, or with foil that is resistant to temperatures up to 100 °C and to steam. ^ Then place the plate on the rack in the oven. Settings Special applications > Reheat, or Steam cooking Temperature: 100 °C Duration: see chart Duration in minutes Casserole 8–10 Fish fillet 6–8 Meat 8–10 Plated meals 8–10 Poultry 8–10 Soup 8–10 Side dishes (pasta, rice, etc.
Special applications Defrost It is much quicker to defrost items in the steam oven than at room temperature. Temperature 60 °C is the best temperature for defrosting. Exception: 50 °C for minced meat and game Before and after defrosting Remove all packaging before defrosting. Exceptions: Leave bread, biscuits and cakes in their packaging as otherwise they will absorb moisture and become soft. Allow defrosted food to stand at room temperature after removing it from the oven.
Special applications Tips Fish does not need to be fully defrosted before cooking. Defrost so that the surface is sufficiently thawed to take herbs and seasoning. Depending on the thickness of the fish, 2 5 minutes should be enough. When defrosting food which has frozen together, e.g. berries, chops, fish fillets etc. separate it about half-way through the defrosting time. Do not refreeze food once it has thawed. Defrost frozen pre-cooked meals according to the manufacturer's instructions.
