Functions using moisture
88
One burst of steam takes about 5–
8minutes. The number of bursts of
steam and when they are injected will
depend on the type of food being
cooked:
– Yeast doughs will rise better if steam
is released at the beginning of the
programme.
– Bread and bread rolls rise better if
steam is released at the start.
Injecting a burst of steam at the end
of the programme will give the bread
and rolls a glistening crust.
– When roasting meat with a high fat
content, injecting steam at the
beginning of roasting will help render
the fat.
Additional moisture is not suitable for
mixtures which already contain a lot of
moisture, such as meringues. These
need to dry out during baking.
Useful tip: Use the Dialog oven
cookbook for guidance.
