Suitable containersStainless steel cooking containers aresupplied with the appliance.Other containers, are available in avariety of sizes, both perforated andsolid, as optional accessories.
– To achieve good results using thesuggested cook times, do not cookmore than 6-8 servings at a time.
– Use the perforated cookingcontainers whenever possible, e.g.for cooking vegetables. The steamcan reach the food from all sides andcook evenly.
– Place the drip tray at the lowestrunner level to collect condensation.Always use the drip tray when usinga perforated cooking container.
– Larger and deeper containers canbe used for larger items. It is best tospace food as much as possible sosteam can surround each piece.
– Dense dishes such as casseroles, orfood such as peas or asparagus,which have little space betweenthem will take longer to cookbecause the steam has less space towork in. It is best to use 2 or 3shallow containers for these foods.
You can also use your own containersand dishes. However, please note thefollowing:
– The container must be heat resistantto 212 °F (100° C). Heat resistantglass, ceramics, porcelain(chinaware), stainless steel orenamel dishes are all suitable.
– Food will take longer to cook in adish with thick sides.
Ensure that there is a gap of at least 1"(3 cm) between the upper rim of thecontainer and the top of the cookingcompartment to allow sufficient steaminto the container.

– You can cook on any level or onmultiple levels at a time. The cookingtime will not change.
– When cooking frozen food, e.g.vegetables, break up large clumpsso that they cook evenly. Thecooking time is approximately thesame as for fresh vegetables.
– Since steam cooking retains flavorsso well, food should not be seasoneduntil after it has been cooked.
– Fish should be cooked at 165°F(75°C) to maintain its texture andnatural color. At this temperature youshould cook on only one level.
Fish can be cooked on more thanone level at 195°F (90°C). However,when cooking at this temperature,please note that cooking times willbe reduced by several minutes.
– To avoid any transfer of tastescaused by moisture dripping fromabove, solid containers should beused under any perforatedcontainers.
– When cooking with fluids, fill solidcontainers to the lower rim.
– Food like noodles or rice need to becooked in fluids. Rice, beans andcereals need to be cooked in equalamounts of food and water.
– Grease the perforated containerwhen cooking fish.
– Grease the solid container whencooking eggs, e.g. scrambled eggs.

DefrostingFrozen food can be defrosted in thesteam oven in considerably less timethan defrosting at room temperature.
^ Remove frozen food from the originalpackaging and place it in a cookingcontainer or on the rack.
^ Select DEFROST.
^ If necessary adjust the temperature(see table, "Defrosting").
^ Select the defrost time (see table,"Defrosting").
^ Press Start.
Tips on defrosting
,Be careful when defrostingpoultry. Do not use the liquid fromdefrosted poultry for cooking. Pourliquid down the drain and thoroughlywash the tray, sink and hands.
– Fish does not need to be fullydefrosted before cooking. Defrost itso that the surface is sufficientlythawed to take herbs and seasoning.Fish coated with breadcrumbsshould be fully defrosted so that thecoating sticks.
– Turn, stir or separate food abouthalfway through the defrostingperiod.
– Allow food to stand at roomtemperature after defrosting. Thisstanding time (see table) isnecessary to ensure that the food isfully defrosted.
– Do not refreeze food once it hasbeen defrosted.
– Defrost deep frozen, precookedmeals according to themanufacturer’s instructions.
– Defrost baked items such as pastryor cakes in a closed freezer bag.

It is both economical and practical to cook a whole meal at the same time in thesteam oven. Only a few examples are given above. Consult the cookbook for moreinformation.
Meal planning
38
Preparing a whole mealWith some planning, an entire meal canbe cooked in the steam oven.
^ Place cooking containers on differentlevels or side by side on the rack.
^ Insert the drip tray at the lowest level.
In general, cooking times will varyaccording to the type of food. Thismeans that you will need to open thesteam oven at different times to addeach dish. Calculate cooking times asfollows:
Stuffed peppers 40 minuteswithBoiled potatoes 10 minutes
(See menu suggestion 3 in the table.)
^ First, place the dish with the longestcooking time in the oven.
^ To calculate its cooking time, subtractthe shorter time from the longer time,i.e. 40 minutes - 10 minutes = 30minutes in the example given above.
^ Press Start.
^ Set the cooking time for the food thattakes longer to cook, e.g. 30 minutesin the above example.
^ When the tone sounds, the seconddish, the potatoes in this example,should be placed in the oven.
^ Set the cooking time for the seconddish, e.g. 10 minutes.
^ Press Start again.
At the end of cooking a tone will soundand both dishes can be removed.
