General notes
44
Shelf level
You can select any shelf level. You can
a
lso cook on several levels at the same
time. This will not alter the cooking du‐
ration.
When using more than one deep con‐
tai
ner at the same time it is best to off‐
set them on their runners and to leave
at least one level free in between them.
Always insert cooking pans and the
r
ack between the rails of the side run‐
ners so that they cannot tip.
Frozen food
The heating up phase for frozen food is
lon
ger than for fresh food. The greater
the quantity of frozen food, the longer
the preheating phase.
Temperature
A maximum temperature of 212°F /
100°C is reached when steam cooking
is taking place. Most types of food will
cook at this temperature. Some more
delicate types of food, such as soft
fruit, must be cooked at lower tempera‐
tures as otherwise they will burst. More
information is given in the relevant sec‐
tion.
Combination with a food warming
drawer
When the warming
drawer is in use the
oven cavity in the steam oven can get
up to 104°F / 40°C. If, in this case, you
set a temperature of 104°F / 40°C, no
steam will be produced because the
oven cavity is too warm.
Cooking duration
In general, the cooking durations for
coo
king with steam are the same as for
cooking food in a saucepan. More in‐
formation about any factors which may
affect the cooking duration is given in
the relevant sections.
The quantity of food does not affect the
cooking time. 1 lb of potatoes will take
the same time to cook as ½ lb.
The durations given in the charts are
gui
delines only. We recommend select‐
ing the shorter cooking duration quoted
to start with. If food is not cooked suffi‐
ciently after the shorter time it can be
put back in the oven and cooked for
longer.
Cooking with liquid
When cooking with liquid only fill the
coo
king pan ²/₃ full to prevent the liquid
spilling when the cooking pan is re‐
moved from the oven.
Your own recipes
Food and recipes which are prepared in
pot or a pan can also be cook
ed in the
steam oven. The cooking times in the
steam oven will be the same. Please
note that food will not be brown or crisp
when cooking with steam.
