An entire meal of rice, fish and
vegetables, for example, can be cooked
at the same time using all three shelves
in your steam oven. The only
requirement is that all the individual
foods can be steamed at the same
temperature. By constantly injecting
fresh steam into the oven cavity there
is no transference of aroma or flavours
between the dishes being cooked.
Because cooking times of the individual
foods may vary considerably, you will
need to open the steam oven at
different times to add a particular dish.
Here is an example for a meal
consisting of fish and broccoli served
with rice:
●
Select “Cook Universal” (depending
on model) and set the temperature
at 100°C
●
Make a note of the cooking times for
each dish:
Rice
20 minutes
Fish fillet
6 minutes
Broccoli
4 minutes
The total cooking time is that of the
dish with the longest steaming time
– in this case the rice, with 20
minutes.
Subtract the time for the food with the
next longest cooking time from the
total time, i.e. the fish:
20 minutes less 6 minutes =
14 minutes.
●
Put the rice into the steam oven and
steam for 14 minutes.
●
Then subtract the time for the
broccoli from the time required for
the fish:
6 minutes less 4 minutes =
2 minutes
●
Put the fish into the steam oven and
steam together with the rice for 2
minutes.
●
Then put in the broccoli and steam
all three together for the last 4
minutes.
At the end of the cooking time you can
remove all the dishes at the same time.
