Cookware for Steam Cooking
• Baking tins and roasting dishes made of appropriate heat and corro-
sion-resistant materials are suitable for steam cooking.
• Chrome steel food containers are particularly suitable. (See Special
Accessories.)
Oven levels
• The appropriate oven level can be found in the following table. Be
careful to count oven levels starting from the bottom.
3 General Instructions
• For cooking times longer than 30 minutes or when cooking larger
quantities, top up with water, if necessary.
• When cooking with the Vigorous Steam function, take out the
grease filter; otherwise, cooking time is longer.
• If not used for long periods, thoroughly rinse out the water drawer,
connecting hoses and steam generator (see Chapter “Care and Clean-
ing”).
How to use the Steam Cooking Tables
The following tables give the required temperature settings, cooking
times and oven levels for a selection of typical dishes.
• Temperatures and cooking times are for guidance only, as these will
depend on the composition and size of the food, the quantity of
items and type of ovenware.
• If you cannot find the settings for a particular recipe, look for the
one that is most similar.
• Unless otherwise stated, the values given in the tables assume that
steam cooking is started with the oven cold.
