Regenerating (reheating)
▯
In the steam oven, you can generate the optimum
climate for heating ready-cooked meals without
them drying out. Thus, taste and quality are
preserved, and meals taste like freshly prepared.
▯
Use the "Regenerating" mode
d
to do this.
▯
The data refers to portions for one person. You
can also warm up large quantities in the
unperforated cooking container. The specified
times are lengthened.
Raising dough
▯
The steam oven offers the ideal climate for raising
dough and dough mixtures or dough pieces
without drying them out.
▯
Use the "Dough proofing" mode
V
to do this.
▯
It is not necessary to cover the bowl with a moist
cloth. Raising only takes half as much time as it
used to.
▯
The specified dough proofing time is a
recommendation only. Raise dough until its
volume has doubled.
Defrosting
▯
In the steam oven you can gently and evenly
defrost deep frozen food faster than at room
temperature.
▯
Use the "Defrosting" mode
W
to do this.
▯
The specified defrosting times are only a
recommendation. The time it takes to defrost
depends on the size and weight of the frozen
food: freeze your food flatly or individually. This
shortens the defrosting time.
▯
Remove the packaging before defrosting.
▯
Defrost only the quantity you need for
preparation.
▯
Remember: once defrosted, food will not keep for
as long and spoils more quickly than fresh food.
Immediately process defrosted food and cook it
thoroughly.
▯
After half of the defrosting time, turn meat or fish
over. Separate frozen pieces of food such as
berries or bits of meat. It is not necessary to fully
defrost fish. It will be sufficiently thawed if the
tissue is soft enough to absorb the spices.
m
Health risk!
When defrosting food from animal sources, you must
remove the liquid that escapes during defrosting. It
must never come into contact with other food.
Bacteria could be transferred.
Slide the unperforated cooking container underneath
the food. Pour away the collected thawing liquid from
meat and poultry. Then clean the sink and rinse with
plenty of water. Clean the cooking container in hot
soapy solution or in a dishwasher.
After defrosting, operate the steam oven for
15 minutes using Hot air at 180°C.
