• 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.
Cooking advice
General advice
• Use a fan assisted function to achieve
consistent cooking at several levels.
• 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).
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.
Advice for cooking with the Grill and the Fan
with grill
• Meat can be grilled even when it is put into
the cold oven or into the preheated oven if
you wish to change the effect of the
cooking.
• When using the fan-assisted with grill
function, we recommend that you preheat
the oven before grilling.
• We recommend placing the food at the
centre of the rack.
• With the Grill function, we recommend that
you set the temperature to the maximum
value to optimise cooking.
Advice for cooking desserts/pastries and
biscuits
• Use dark metal moulds: They help to absorb
the heat better.
• The temperature and the cooking time
depend on the quality and consistency of
the dough.
• To check whether the dessert is cooked right
through: At the end of the cooking time, put
a toothpick into the highest point of the
dessert. If the dough does not stick to the
toothpick, the dessert is cooked.
• If the dessert collapses when it comes out of
the oven, on the next occasion reduce the
set temperature by about 10°C, selecting a
longer cooking time if necessary.
Advice for defrosting and proving
• Place frozen foods without their packaging
in a lidless container on the first shelf of the
oven.
• Avoid overlapping the food.
• To defrost meat, use the rack placed on the
second level and a tray on the first level. In
this way, the liquid from the defrosting food
drains away from the food.
• The most delicate parts can be covered with
aluminium foil.
• For successful proving, a container of water
should be placed in the bottom of the oven.
To save energy
• Stop cooking a few minutes before the time
normally used. Cooking will continue for the
remaining minutes with the heat which has
accumulated inside the oven.
• Reduce any opening of the door to a
minimum to avoid heat dispersal.
• Keep the inside of the appliance clean at all
times.
Sous Vide cooking
Sous vide cooking in a steam oven is the best
way to cook food without altering its nutritional
properties and quality. It is also an extremely
healthy and natural type of cooking.
• The Sous vide technique allows the heat to
be transferred efficiently from the steam to
SOUS VIDE
Steam function for perfect cooking
inside a sealed bag. The food’s flavours
are enhanced and no nutrients are lost.
The bag containing the food can be
placed on the perforated tray or on a
rack positioned on the first or second
shelf.
