Steam cooking

Overview

If you follow the instructions for use steam cooking offers many benefits. Healthy and natural, steam cooking preserves the full flavour of foods. The steam maintains the taste of foods. It does not add odours, nor the taste of the grill or the pan. Furthermore, it is healthy: it takes nothing away because the food is not diluted in the water; therefore vitamins and minerals are better preserved. Moreover, no fats are used for this type of cooking! This kind of cooking releases no odours; therefore you can simultaneously cook meat, fish and vegetables - you will save both time and money by cooking items side by side, but without touching. For example, you can cook a fish next to a dessert. Steam cooking is quick: cooking starts immediately, whereas for food in a water-filled dish (boiling) the cooking time only begins counting down once the water returns to a full boil. Steam cooking allows pasta, rice and mashed potato to be gently reheated with no risk of food sticking or drying out. Steam is also appropriate for blanching, defrosting and warming (keeping a sauce warm for example). It is also possible to cook puddings, flans, rice pudding etc, covered with aluminium foil - the water from the condensation does not add moisture to the ingredients.

Words of advice

There is no need to season the cooking water with herbs or spices; however, you can add flavour in different ways, for example you can flavour a fish by placing it on a bed of herbs, or make a savoury poultry dish more exciting by adding a bunch of rosemary or tarragon to the dish. Food cooks faster and more evenly when cut into pieces than if left whole. To make meats (poultry, veal and pork) look more appetising, use a small amount of fat in a pan to heat it on all sides so that it takes on a browned appearance, and then finish cooking using the steam method. Always use fish or vegetables that are fresh - steam cooking will not have the same results on fish or vegetables that have been left in the refrigerator for a week!

How do you install your oven?

Electrical connection

For permanent installation, a standardised, compliant cut-off device must be added in the electrical conduit. The plug to be connected to the power supply lead and the relative socket must be of the same type and comply with the relevant regulations. The control of the power supply socket must be accessible even after the appliance has been built-in. The electrical supply must be earthed, and comply with applicable safety standards. Your electrical installation must be equipped with 13 Amps thermal-sensitive protection. Do not operate the oven if the power cable or its plug are damaged. In this case, they must be replaced by the manufacturer, its After Sales Service department or a person of similar qualifications so as to avoid any danger.

How do you program for immediate cooking?

Operating principle

The water contained in the tank arrives in the cavity via a pipe. This water is transformed into steam when it comes into contact with a hot surface located in the lower part of the cavity: this is the steam generator. There is no need to add water to the cooking dish. To guarantee REAL STEAM COOKING, your oven is furnished with specially designed cookware that will allow for perfect cooking.
You MUST fill the water tank to the Max. level before cooking. Return the tank to its housing by firmly pushing ALL THE WAY until you feel the tank LOCK INTO POSITION. When in use, the appliance becomes hot. Hot steam will escape when you open the door of the appliance. Keep children away.
