Getting the Most Out of Your Steam Oven Cooking Tables and Tips These tables contain a selection of dishes that can be easily prepared in the steam convection oven. You can find out which oven mode, accessories and cooking time are best suited for your dish. If not specified otherwise, this information applies to dishes placed in a cold appliance. WARNING: DO NOT use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installing these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire. Accessories Cooking Times and Quantities When steaming, the cooking times are based on the size of the piece, not on the entire quantity of food. The appliance can steam up to 14 lbs.

The quality and age of the food also affect the cooking time. The values provided therefore serve only as a guideline. Distribute Food Evenly Always distribute the food evenly in the ovenware.

Place the food with the longest cooking time in the appliance first and then add the remaining dishes at the appropriate time. This will ensure that all dishes are ready at the same time. The total cooking time will be longer when cooking an entire meal, since every time the appliance door is opened, some steam escapes and the appliance has to reheat.

Getting the Most Out of Your Steam Oven
Cooking Tables and Tips
These tables contain a selection of dishes that can be
easily prepared in the steam convection oven. You can find
out which oven mode, accessories and cooking time are
best suited for your dish. If not specified otherwise, this
information applies to dishes placed in a cold appliance.
Accessories
Use the accessories that come with the appliance.
Ovenware
If you use ovenware, always place it in the center of the
rack.
The ovenware must be heat and steam resistant. Thick-
walled ovenware extends the cooking time.
Use foil to cover food that would normally be prepared in a
water bath (such as when melting chocolate).
Steaming
Steaming is a particularly gentle way to cook food. The
steam envelopes the food, preventing the food from losing
nutrients. No excess pressure is needed for cooking,
allowing the food to maintain its shape, color and typical
flavor.
Cooking Times and Quantities
When steaming, the cooking times are based on the size of
the piece, not on the entire quantity of food. The appliance
can steam up to 14 lbs. (6.4 kg) of food.
Note the sizes of pieces listed in the tables. The cooking
time is shorter for smaller pieces and longer for larger
pieces. The quality and age of the food also affect the
cooking time. The values provided therefore serve only as
a guideline.
Distribute Food Evenly
Always distribute the food evenly in the ovenware. If the
food is placed unevenly in the ovenware, it will cook
unevenly.
Delicate Food
Do not layer delicate foods too high in the cooking pan. It is
better to use two pans in this case.
Cooking an Entire Meal
You can cook entire meals at the same time in Steam mode
without mixing the flavors of the different food. Place the
food with the longest cooking time in the appliance first and
then add the remaining dishes at the appropriate time. This
will ensure that all dishes are ready at the same time.
The total cooking time will be longer when cooking an
entire meal, since every time the appliance door is opened,
some steam escapes and the appliance has to reheat.
True Convection
True Convection is particularly suited for sweet and savory
baked goods, braised meat and various cakes.
WARNING:
DO NOT
use aluminum foil or protective liners
to line any part of the appliance, especially
the oven bottom. Installing these liners may
result in risk of electric shock or fire
