Operating principle

In the steamer you can steam cook, cook, simmer and
blanch.
Steam cooking consists of cooking in a steam flow. The
temperature ranges around 100 °C. The steam
transmits the heat. Suitable foodstuffs are vegetables,
potatoes or fish.
The steam surrounds the food that is being cooked and
prevents a loss of nutrients in the food. Cooked food
retains its shape, its colour and its typical aroma.
Foodstuffs are not browned in the steam cooker.
The appliance offers you the possibility of steam
cooking without pressure in one or two cooking inserts.
When you use the perforated cooking insert, the steam
is able to reach the food on all sides. This ensures
uniform cooking even of large quantities of food.
You can set the cooking liquid temperature in 5 °C
increments between 45 and 95 °C. This precise
adjustment of the water temperature allows you to melt a
chocolate coating, for example, to poach meat or to boil
pasta.
