For further information on the product: www. smeg. com 3 EN 1 Instructions 4 Instructions 1 Instructions 1. 1 General safety instructions Risk of personal injury • During use the appliance and its accessible parts become very hot. • Protect your hands by wearing oven gloves when handling food inside the oven cavity. • Never try to put out a fire or flames with water: turn off the appliance and smother the flames with a fire blanket or other appropriate cover. [. . . ] Take care: the water may be very hot. 26 Use • Pasta and rice: once a temperature of 100°C has been reached the cooking time will be the same as on a cooktop. Put the pasta or rice in a metal tray and cover with about a centimetre of water. For best results when cooking rice, place a lid on the container or cover with aluminium foil. This enables the rice to absorb all the water and can be served directly. • Eggs: can be boiled, scrambled or poached using the steam function at 100°C. For perfect boiled eggs, place them in the perforated tray and cook them for 4-6 minutes for soft-boiled eggs and 8-10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs. For scrambled eggs, place the beaten eggs in the metal tray together with milk, butter and the condiments. For poached eggs pour boiling water into the metal tray with a drop of vinegar and steam for about 4-5 minutes. For dense vegetables such as potatoes, turnips and parsnips, cook at 100°C for the same length of time as you would boil them for on the cooktop. For broccoli and carrots, cook for 6 minutes for a firm consistency or up to 10 minutes for a softer consistency. 27 EN Advice for steaming • Fish: being a naturally delicate food, it is perfect when steamed. For fatty fish such as salmon or trout, cook at 100°C for about 5 minutes. For white fish such as cod and haddock cook at 80°C for about 5 minutes. When cooking different foods at the same time, all the fish should be cooked in the perforated tray placed on the lower shelf of the oven in order to prevent the fish juices from dripping onto other foods. Prepare the casserole as you would for cooking it normally in the oven. Place it in the metal tray, cover with a lid or aluminium foil and according to the cut of meat, cook it between 45 minutes and 3 hours. • Thin soups: steaming helps to enhance the flavour with minimal supervision because the liquids will not overflow. To produce vegetable soup of the right consistency, first steam the vegetables, then add the stock and steam at 100°C. Put the soup in a metal tray, cover with a lid or aluminium foil and steam at 100°C for the same length of time as for microwave cooking. To obtain a creamy texture stir half way through cooking. Use • Reheating foods: the steam function will not dry the foods and will improve moisture content. A previously prepared home-made meal, covered with aluminium foil requires about 10-12 minutes to cook. Ready meals require about double the amount of time indicated on the packaging. Times may vary, but defrosting using steam takes about half the time compared to leaving covered foods to defrost in a corner of the kitchen.
