• Reheating: the steam cooking function
will not dry foods out and gives a moister
result. A previously prepared home-
cooked meal, covered with aluminium
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 cooking
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 cook
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
steam cooking function. Place the
chocolate in a metal tray, cover with
aluminium foil and steam cook 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 steam
cooking function. Moisten a towel with
water, roll it up and steam it for 1 minute.
3.5 Cooking advice
General advice
• It is not possible to shorten cooking times
by increasing the temperature (the food
could be overcooked on the outside and
undercooked on the inside).
• Cooking times vary according to the
thickness and quality of the food and to
consumer taste.
• The first few times you use the appliance,
until acquiring sufficient confidence and
knowledge of the required cooking
times, we suggest setting slightly longer
cooking times and testing the food
quickly a little before cooking ends. If it is
not ready, it is anyway possible to
continue to cook it using the remaining
cooking time and without having to add
more water to the reservoir. If, however,
the food is already cooked, it will be
possible to immediately stop cooking
and drain the residual water from the
reservoir.
Advice for cooking meat
• Cooking times vary according to the
thickness and quality of the food and to
consumer taste.
• Use a meat thermometer when roasting
meat, or simply press on the roast with a
spoon. If it is hard, it is ready; If not, it
needs another few minutes cooking.
