• Reheating: the steaming function will not
dry foods out and gives a moister result.
A previously prepared home-cooked
meal, covered with aluminum foil, will
take around 10-12 minutes to reheat.
Ready meals will require approximately
double the time indicated on the
package.
• Defrosting: it is possible to use the steam
function to defrost foods. Times vary, but
defrosting with the steam function takes
around half the time necessary for
covered foods left to defrost at room
temperature.
• Peeling peppers and tomatoes: this is
very easy to do when using the steam
function. Use a knife to cut a small cross
in the skin of the tomato, and steam for
1 minute. Peppers have tougher skin,
and may require up to 4 minutes to
soften it sufficiently for peeling.
• Chocolate: this can be melted using
the steaming function. Place the
chocolate in a metal tray, cover with
aluminum foil and steam for 1 minute.
Unlike other methods, chocolate is
unlikely to burn in the steam oven.
• Hot towels: ideal for facial treatments, a
close shave or for use after a meal, these
are easy to prepare using the steaming
function. Moisten a towel with water, roll
it up and steam it for 1 minute.
