• Reheating foods: the steam function will
not dry the foods and will improve
moisture content. A previously prepared
home-made meal, covered with
aluminium foil requires about 10-12
minutes to cook. Ready meals require
about double the amount of time
indicated on the packaging.
• Defrosting: the steam function can be
used to defrost foods. Times may vary,
but defrosting using steam takes about
half the time compared to leaving
covered foods to defrost in a corner of
the kitchen.
• Peeling tomatoes and peppers: this is
very easy to do when using the steam
function. Cut a small cross on the skin of
the tomato using a knife and steam for
about 1 minute. Peppers have tougher
skin and it will take up to 4 minutes to
soften them sufficiently for peeling.
• Chocolate: it can be melted using the
steam function. Place the chocolate in the
metal tray, cover with aluminium foil and
steam for 1 minute. Chocolate is unlikely
to burn in the steam oven.
• Hot towels: useful for facial care such as
a close shave or for use after a meal.
They are simple to prepare using the
steam function. Dampen a towel with
water, roll it up and heat using steam 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,
when you have not yet acquired enough
experience regarding the cooking times
needed for the foods, it is recommended
to set slightly longer cooking times and to
quickly taste the food close to the end of
cooking. 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 it is ready, cooking can be
stopped immediately and the remaining
water drained 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.
