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.
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 the food, preventing the loss of
flavour through the oxidation and
evaporation of nutrients and humidity
during cooking.
Sous vide cooking also allows greater
control over the cooking compared to
traditional methods and ensures that
cooking is uniform.
It also allows cooking to be carried out
at lower temperatures compared to
traditional cooking methods.
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.
