[. . . ] If you are cooking different foods, all fish must be cooked in the perforated tray which must be placed on the bottom shelf of the oven to avoid liquid from the fish dripping onto other food products. Place it in a metal tray, cover with a lid or aluminium foil, and cook for between 45 minutes and 3 hours depending on the cut of meat used. • Thin soups: steam cooking allows flavours to develop perfectly with minimum effort, as the liquids will not boil over. For vegetable soup with the correct consistency, first steam the vegetables, then add broth and steam cook at 100°C. The steam function is also ideal for preparing large quantities for later use. Place the soup in a metal tray, cover with a lid or aluminium foil and steam cook at 100° C for the same time you would cook it in a microwave oven. Mix midway through cooking for a creamier consistency. Use • Reheating: using the steam cooking function will not dry foods out and gives a moister result. A previously prepared home-cooked meal, covered with aluminium foil, will take around 10-12 minutes to reheat. Ready meals will require approximately double the time indicated on the package. • Defrosting: it is possible to use the steam cooking function to defrost foods. Times vary, but defrosting with the steam cooking function takes around half the time necessary for covered foods left to defrost at room temperature. • Peeling peppers and tomatoes: this otherwise time-consuming operation is very simple when you use the steam cooking function. Use a knife to cut a small cross in the skin of the tomato, and steam cook for 1 minute. Peppers have tougher skin, and may require up to 4 minutes to soften them sufficiently for peeling. • Chocolate: this can be melted using the steam cooking function. Place the chocolate in a metal tray, cover with aluminium foil and steam cook for 1 minute. Unlike other methods, chocolate is unlikely to burn in the steam oven. • Hot towels: ideal for facial treatments, a close shave or for use after a meal, these are easy to prepare using the steam cooking function. Moisten a towel with water, roll it up and steam it for 1 minute. 3. 5 Cooking advice General advice • It is not possible to shorten cooking times by increasing the temperature (the food could be overcooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside). • Cooking times vary according to the thickness and quality of the food and to consumer taste. • The first few times you use the appliance, until acquiring sufficient confidence and knowledge of the required cooking times, we suggest setting slightly longer cooking times and testing the food quickly a little before cooking ends. In this manner, if the food is not yet ready you will be able to continue cooking without the need to add more water to the tank thanks to the remaining time.
