Steam cooking
Healthy and natural, steam cooking retains the colour and taste of
the dish. No odors are released using this cooking method. It is not
necessary to add salt or extra herbs to the water in the reservoir.
When you select a steam function, always fill the water reservoir with
fresh water.
After every steam function the oven empty’s the water system. This will
produce some noise. This is not a malfunction and you do not need to
worry about this.
Advantages of steam cooking
• Steam cooking (stewing, cooking, roasting) starts before the oven
cavity temperature reaches 100 °C.
• Slow cooking (stewing, cooking, roasting) is also possible at lower
temperatures. It is healthy: vitamins and minerals are preserved as only
a small proportion of these dissolve in the hot moisture of the dish.
• It is not necessary to add any form of fat or oil during steam cooking.
• Steam retains the taste of the dish.
• Steam does not distribute smell or taste, enabling meat or fish to
be cooked together with vegetables.
• Steam is also suitable for blanching, defrosting and warming or
keeping a dish warm.
