INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR SUPER STEAM CONVECTION AND STEAM COOKING Food Characteristics Density Food density will affect the amount of cooking time. Cut the food into thinner parts, if possible, and arrange in single layer. Quantity The cooking time must be increased as the amount increases. Size Small foods and small pieces cook faster than large ones, as heat can penetrate from all sides to the center. For even cooking make all the pieces the same size.
