Tips for Using Steam

Using Steam Cycles

Auto Steam Auto Steam has 7 settings: Meats, Poultry, Seafood, Breads, Vegetables, Desserts, and Casseroles. Auto Steam settings have default temperature and time settings to guide the cooking process.

  1. Choose the type of food being cooked
  2. Select the desired temperature.
  3. If desired, both the temperature and time can be changed according to the recipe recommendation.

NOTE: For optimal cooking results, avoid opening the door during steam-assisted cooking. If the oven door is opened, steam production is automatically shut off until the door is closed. 

Tips when steaming:

  • Steam eliminates the need for using parchment paper wraps (for cooking fish), water baths, and spritzing during the cooking process.
  • When cooking with steam, place meat, poultry, seafood, vegetables, desserts, and casseroles into a cool oven. For best cooking results, allow the oven to cool down from previous cooking before steam cooking.
  • If the oven is warm from use, cooking times may be shorter.
  • Optimum levels of moisture are introduced at the appropriate time during the cooking cycles.
  • Specially developed cycles enhance browning on meats, poultry, and bread.
  • When baking bread, preheating is required.
  • When a steam-assisted set cook time has elapsed, the oven cooking cycle will continue to run until Off is pressed.
