Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician. Damage to the combination steam oven can compromise your safety. Check the combination steam oven for visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged combination steam oven. Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power supply system or a power supply system that is not synchronised with the mains power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems) is possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply system complies with the specifications of EN 50160 or an equivalent standard. The function and operation of the protective measures provided in the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not synchronised with the mains power supply, or these measures must be replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described, for example, in the current version of BS OHSAS 18001­2 ISO 45001. The electrical safety of this combination steam oven can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is essential that this basic safety requirement is fulfilled. If in doubt, the electrical installation should be checked by a qualified electrician. The connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate of the combination steam oven must match the mains electricity supply in order to avoid the risk of damage to the oven. Compare this before connecting the appliance to the mains. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance. Do not use these to connect the combination steam oven to the domestic electrical supply. For safety reasons, the combination steam oven may only be used when it has been built in and fully installed. This combination steam oven must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).

Warning and Safety instructions
Risk of injury due to electric shock. Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical or mechanical components of the combination steam oven will endanger your safety and may lead to appliance malfunctions. Do not open the housing of the combination steam oven under any circumstances. While the combination steam oven is under warranty, repairs should only be undertaken by a service technician authorised by the Miele Customer Service Department. Otherwise the warranty will be invalidated. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts. If the plug is removed from the mains connection cable or if the mains connection cable is supplied without a plug, the combination steam oven must be connected to the electrical supply by a qualified electrician. If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a special mains connection cable (see “Electrical connection” in the “Installation” chapter). During installation, maintenance and repair work, the combination steam oven must be completely disconnected from the mains electricity supply. To ensure this, do one of the following: – Disconnect the mains fuse – Completely unscrew the screw-out fuse (in countries where this is
applicable) – Pull out the plug (if one is present) at the wall socket. To do this,
pull the plug and not the mains connection cable. If the combination steam oven is built in behind a furniture front (e.g. a door), do not close the furniture door while the oven is in use. Heat and moisture can build up behind the furniture front when closed. This can result in damage to the combination steam oven, the housing unit and the floor. Leave the furniture door open until the combination steam oven has cooled down completely. The water connection should only be established by a qualified specialist. Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect installation or connection.
11

Warning and Safety instructions
The combination steam oven may only be connected up to a coldwater connection. The stopcock for the water inlet must be easily accessible after the combination steam oven has been installed. Before connection, check the inlet and drain hoses for visible signs of damage. The integrated waterproof system offers protection from water damage, provided that the following conditions are met: – The combination steam oven is properly installed (electric and wa-
ter connections). – The combination steam oven is repaired if any damage is identi-
fied. – The stopcock is turned off when the appliance is not in use for an
extended period (e.g. during holidays). In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty. Correct use Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces and steam. The combination steam oven gets hot during operation. You could burn yourself on the heater elements, oven compartment, accessories, door glass, food or steam. Wear oven gloves when placing hot food in the oven or removing it, when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven compartment and when closing the door. Risk of injury caused by hot food. Food may spill or splash around when placing it into the oven or removing it. The food can cause burns. When placing cooking containers into the oven or removing them, make sure that the hot food does not spill. Heating up food in closed containers, such as tins or sealed jars, will result in an increase in pressure, which can cause them to explode. Do not heat up unopened tins or jars of food in the oven.
12

Warning and Safety instructions
Plastic dishes that are not suitable for use in an oven will melt and may ignite at high temperatures, and can damage the combination steam oven. Use only plastic containers that are suitable for use in an oven. Follow the instructions from the crockery manufacturer. If you wish to use plastic containers for steam cooking, make sure that these are heat-resistant to 100 °C and able to withstand hot steam. Other plastic containers can melt or become fragile and brittle. Food which is left in the oven compartment can dry out and the moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the combination steam oven. Do not leave food in the oven compartment and do not use any cooking containers which are susceptible to corrosion. Risk of injury from the open door. You could bang into the open door or trip over it. Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily. The door can support a maximum load of 10 kg. Do not lean or sit on the door when open, or place heavy items on it. Make sure that nothing gets trapped between the door and the oven compartment. This could damage the combination steam oven. Oils and fats can ignite if allowed to overheat. Never leave the combination steam oven unattended when cooking with oil or fats. Never attempt to put out oil or fat fires with water. Switch the combination steam oven off and extinguish the flames by leaving the door closed. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the combination steam oven could catch fire. Do not use the combination steam oven to heat up the room. Grilling food for excessively long cooking durations can cause it to dry out with the risk of catching fire. Do not exceed the recommended cooking durations. Some types of food dry out quickly and can self-ignite if high grill temperatures are used. Never use the grill to finish baking part-cooked rolls or bread or to dry flowers or herbs. Use Fan plus or Conventional heat for this type of procedure.
13

Warning and Safety instructions
To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the combination steam oven door if there is smoke inside the oven compartment. Interrupt operation by switching the combination steam oven off and disconnecting it from the electricity supply. Do not open the door until the smoke has dispersed. If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise. The vapour can catch fire on hot heating elements. Never line the floor of the oven compartment with aluminium foil or oven liners. Do not place any crockery or any pans, pots or baking trays directly on the floor of the oven compartment. If you want to use the floor of the oven compartment as an extra surface, place the rack on the floor of the oven compartment with the rack surface facing up and the cooking container on top. In doing so, ensure that the filter in the floor of the oven is not moved. The oven compartment floor can become damaged by the rack being pushed around on it. Do not push the rack around on the oven compartment floor. Larger deposits of food can block the drain and pump. Always make sure that the filter in the floor of the oven is inserted. When using a electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held blender, near the combination steam oven, ensure that the mains connection cable of the appliance cannot get trapped in the combination steam oven door. This could damage the insulation on the cable. The steam could reach live electrical components and cause a short circuit. This could also destroy the electrical components. Do not use the combination steam oven if it does not have a lamp cover.
14

Warning and Safety instructions Cleaning and care
Risk of injury due to electric shock. The steam from a steam cleaning appliance could reach live electrical components and cause a short circuit. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance. Scratches on the door glass can result in the glass breaking. Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard sponges, brushes or sharp metal tools to clean the door glass. The side runners can be removed (see “Cleaning and care ­ Cleaning the side runners”). Refit the side runners correctly. Try to avoid the interior walls being splashed with food or liquids containing salt. If it does happen, wipe these away thoroughly to avoid corrosion to stainless steel surfaces inside the cabinet. Accessories Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manufacturers will invalidate the warranty and Miele cannot accept liability. Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a minimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the discontinuation of your combination steam oven. Only use the Miele food probe supplied with this oven. If it is faulty, it must only be replaced with a suitable original Miele food probe. The plastic on the food probe can melt at very high temperatures. Do not use the food probe when using the grill functions (exception: Fan Grill ). Do not store the food probe in the oven if it is not in use.

Caring for the environment

Disposing of the packaging material
The packaging material is used for handling and protects the appliance from transport damage. The packaging material used is selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can generally be recycled. Recycling the packaging material reduces the use of raw materials. Use material-specific collection points for valuable materials and take advantage of return options. Your Miele dealer will take the packaging material away.

Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances contain many valuable materials. They also contain certain materials, compounds and components which were essential for their correct functioning and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with household waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with household waste.

Instead, please make use of officially designated collection and disposal points to dispose of and recycle electrical and electronic appliances in your local community, with your dealer or with Miele, free of charge. By law, you are solely responsible for deleting any personal data from the old appliance prior to disposal. You are legally obliged to remove any old batteries which are not securely enclosed by the appliance and to remove any lamps without destroying them, where this is possible. These must be taken to a suitable collection point where they can be handed in free of charge. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored for disposal.

Description of functions

Control panel
The water container and food probe are located behind the control panel. The control panel is opened and closed by pressing the sensor control. It is fitted with anti-trapping protection. If the control panel senses resistance when opening/closing, the process is cancelled. Despite this, do not touch the upper edge of the door when the control panel is opening and closing.
Water container
Water is pumped into the water container and then into the steam generator.
A malfunction can occur if the aperture to the water container is blocked. The aperture on the front of the water container must not be blocked as otherwise water cannot be pumped into the steam generator.
Food probe
The food probe measures the core temperature in the food, enabling the temperature during the cooking process to be monitored simply and accurately.

Temperature/core temperature
Some functions have a pre-set recommended temperature. The recommended temperature can be altered within the given range for an individual cooking programme, a programme stage or for every time that programme is used (see “Recommended temperatures” in the “Settings” chapter). The core temperature can also be altered within the given range for an individual programme or a specific programme stage.
Moisture
The Combi mode operating mode and Reheat special application use a combination of oven heat and moisture. The moisture level can be selected within the given range for an individual cooking process or a specific programme stage. Depending on the moisture setting, moisture or fresh air is supplied to the oven compartment. When the moisture setting = 0 %, the maximum fresh air supply is implemented and no moisture is supplied. When the moisture setting = 100 %, there is no fresh air supply and the moisture content is at its maximum. Some food gives off moisture during the cooking process. This moisture from the food affects the amount of additional moisture needed. If the required amount of moisture is low, the steam generator may not be activated at all.

30

Description of functions

Cooking duration
Depending on the function, you can set a cooking duration of between 1 minute and 6, 10 or 12 hours. The cooking durations of the Automatic, Maintenance and Menu cooking programmes are set at the factory and cannot be altered. When cooking with steam, as well as for programmes and applications with pure steam operation, the cooking duration does not begin until the set temperature is reached. It starts immediately for all other functions, programmes and applications.
Noises
A humming sound can be heard during operation and after switching off the combination steam oven. This noise does not indicate incorrect operation or an appliance fault. The noise is made by water being pumped through the system. When the combination steam oven is in use, you will hear a fan noise.
Heating-up phase
In all functions, the display shows the temperature in the oven compartment as it rises during the heating-up phase (exceptions: Full grill , Economy grill ). When cooking with steam, the duration of the heating-up phase will depend on the quantity and the temperature of the food. In general, the heating-up phase will last for approx. 7 minutes. The duration will be longer if you are cooking refrigerated or frozen food. The heating-up phase may also last longer if cooking temperatures are low or if you are using the Sous-vide cooking function.

Cooking phase
The elapsing remaining time is shown in the display during the cooking phase. When cooking with steam, the cooking phase begins once the set temperature is reached. It starts immediately for all other functions, programmes and applications.
Steam reduction
With steam cooking and combination cooking, the steam reduction function will switch on automatically at the end of a cooking programme which uses a temperature within a certain temperature range. The function stops excessive steam escaping when the door is opened. Steam reduction will appear in the display. Steam reduction can be switched off (see “Steam reduction” in the “Settings” chapter). With steam reduction switched off, a lot of steam will escape when the door is opened.
Oven interior lighting
For energy-saving reasons, the combination steam oven interior lighting has been set at the factory to go out once a programme has begun. If you want it to stay on all the time the oven is on, you will need to alter the default setting (see “Settings” ­ “Lighting”). If the door is left open at the end of a cooking process, the oven interior lighting will switch off automatically after 5 minutes. The lighting can be switched on for 15 seconds by touching the sensor control on the control panel.

Settings

Water hardness

The combination steam oven must be adjusted to the local water hardness level to ensure that it works correctly and to ensure that descaling is carried out at the correct interval. The harder the water is, the more frequently the combination steam oven needs to be descaled. Contact your local water supplier to find out the water hardness in your area. If you are using an on-site water softener, match the setting on the combination steam oven to the value set on the water softener. If you are using an on-site system to fully demineralise the water (e.g. a reverse osmosis system), the system must be set so the conductivity of the treated water is at least 100 S/cm. In the case of most water qualities, this can be achieved by setting a water hardness of at least 3 °dH rather than fully demineralising the water. The conductivity is required for the fill level detection in the steam generator. Match the setting on the combination steam oven to the value set on the full demineralisation system. If you are using bottled water, it must comply with the relevant national regulations for drinking water quality. Do not use mineral water or carbonated water. Adjust the setting on the combination steam oven depending on the calcium content. The calcium content is specified on the label of the bottle in mg/l Ca2+ or ppm (mg/l CaCO3).

Energy saving tips

Cooking programmes
– If possible, use the automatic programmes for cooking food.
– Remove all accessories from the oven compartment that are not required for cooking.
– In general, if a range of temperatures is given in a recipe or chart, it is best to select the lower temperature and to check the food after the shortest duration.
– Preheat the oven only if instructed to do so in the recipe or the cooking chart.
– If possible, do not open the door during a cooking programme.
– Dark, matt tins are best for baking. They absorb the heat more effectively and transmit it to the mixture more quickly. Shiny materials such as stainless steel or aluminium reflect the heat and therefore can give a more uneven result. Do not cover the oven floor or the rack with heat-reflecting aluminium foil.
– Monitor cooking durations to avoid wasting energy when cooking. Set the cooking duration, or use a food probe if you have one.
– The Fan plus operating mode can be used for cooking many types of food. Because the fan distributes the heat in the oven compartment straight away, it allows you to use a lower temperature than you would with Conventional heat . It also enables you to cook on multiple shelf levels at the same time.
– Fan grill is the best operating mode for grilled dishes. With this operating mode, you can use lower temperat-

ures than in other grill operating modes which use the maximum temperature setting. – The Eco Fan heat operating mode ensures energy-efficient cooking thanks to optimal utilisation of heat. Use this operating mode for cooking small amounts of food, e.g. frozen pizzas or biscuits. Do not open the door during the cooking process. – You can use the Eco Steam cooking operating mode to save energy during steam cooking. This operating mode is particularly suitable for cooking fish and vegetables. – Whenever possible you should cook multiple foods at the same time. Place them next to each other in the oven or on different shelf levels. – Foods which you are unable to cook at the same time should, if possible, be cooked one after the other in order to make use of existing heat in the oven.
Settings
– Select the setting Display | QuickTouch | Off for the control elements in order to reduce energy consumption.
– Select the Lighting | Off or “On” for 15 seconds setting for the oven interior lighting. The oven interior lighting can be switched on again at any time by touching the sensor control.
Energy-saving mode
The combination steam oven will switch itself off automatically to save energy if a cooking process is not being run and controls have not been operated. The time of day will appear on the display or the display will remain dark (see “Settings”).

Operation

Pre-heating the oven compartment
The Booster function is used to quickly pre-heat the oven compartment in some functions. The Pre-heat function can be used with any oven function (except Eco Fan heat ) and has to be switched on separately for each cooking programme. It is only necessary to pre-heat the oven compartment in a few instances. Pre-heat the oven compartment
when cooking the following food: – Cakes and pastries with a short cook-
ing duration (approx. 30 minutes or less) as well as delicate items (e.g. sponge) with the Conventional heat function
Booster The Booster function is switched on as the factory default setting for the following functions (Settings | Booster | On): – Fan plus – Conventional heat
If you set a temperature above 100 °C and the Booster function is switched on, a rapid heating-up phase heats the oven to the set temperature. The top heat/ grill element and the ring heater element come on together with the fan.
Delicate items (e.g. sponge or biscuits) will brown too quickly on the top if the Booster function is used. Switch off the Booster function for these items.

Switching the Booster on and off for a cooking programme If you have selected the Booster | On setting, you can switch off the function separately for a cooking programme. On the other hand, you can also switch on the function separately for a cooking programme if you have selected the Booster | Off setting. Example: you have selected a function and the required settings such as the temperature. You want to switch off the Booster function for this cooking programme. Drag down the pull-down menu. Booster is highlighted in orange. Select Booster. Depending on the colour scheme, Booster is highlighted either in black or white. Close the pull-down menu.

General notes

This section contains general information. You will find more detailed information about particular foods and how to cook them in the other sections.
The advantages of cooking with steam
Almost all vitamins and minerals are retained as the food is not immersed in water. Cooking with steam also retains the true taste of the food better than conventional cooking. We therefore recommend seasoning the food after it has been cooked. Food also retains its fresh, original colour.
Suitable containers
Cooking containers Stainless steel cookware is provided with the combination steam oven. Other containers, in a variety of sizes, both perforated and solid, are available as optional extras (see “Optional accessories”). This enables you to choose the most suitable container for the dish you are preparing. Use perforated cooking containers for steam cooking if possible. The steam can reach the food from all sides and the food is cooked evenly.

Your own containers You can also use your own containers. However, please note the following: – Containers must be suitable for use in
an oven and able to withstand steam. With plastic containers, please check with the manufacturer that they are suitable for use in a steam oven. – Thick- sided containers such as porcelain, ceramic or stoneware are not very suitable for using with steam. Due to their thick sides, they do not conduct heat well, meaning cooking durations will be considerably longer than those given in the charts. – Place the containers on the rack or on a suitable tray. Depending on the size of the container, you can also place the rack on the floor of the oven compartment with the rack surface facing up and the cooking container on top. You can also take the side runners out to make more room (see “Cleaning the side runners” in the “Cleaning and care” chapter). – Ensure that there is a gap between the upper rim of the container and the top of the oven compartment to allow sufficient steam into the container.

65

General notes

Shelf level
You can select any shelf level. You can also cook on several levels at the same time. This will not alter the cooking duration. When using more than one deep container at the same time for steam cooking it is best to offset them on their runners and to leave at least one level free in between them. Always insert cooking containers, the rack and the tray between the rails of the side runners so that they cannot tip.
Frozen food
The heating up phase for frozen food is longer than for fresh food. The greater the quantity of frozen food, the longer the heating up phase.
Temperature
During steam cooking, the temperature does not exceed 100 °C. Almost all foods can be cooked at this temperature. Some types of food, such as berries, need to be cooked at lower temperatures to prevent them from bursting. See the relevant sections in these operating instructions for more details.
Cooking duration
During steam cooking, the cooking duration does not begin until the set temperature is reached. In general, the cooking durations for cooking with steam are the same as for cooking food in a saucepan. More information about any factors which may affect the cooking duration is given in the relevant sections. The quantity of food does not affect the cooking duration. 1 kg of potatoes will take the same time to cook as 500 g. 66

Cooking with liquid
When cooking with liquid only fill the cooking container ²/ full to prevent the liquid spilling when the cooking container is removed from the oven.
Your own recipes ­ steam cooking
Food which is cooked in a pot or a pan can also be cooked in the combination steam oven. The cooking durations in the combination steam oven will be the same. Please note that food will not be brown or crisp when cooking with steam.
Universal tray and combi rack
Use the universal tray with the combi rack placed on top of it, e.g. for roasting and grilling. During roasting, you can use the meat juices collected in the tray to make a gravy or sauce. If you are using the universal tray with the combi rack on top, insert the universal tray between the rails of a shelf level and the combi rack will automatically slide in above them. When removing them from the oven, pull both out together.
Non-tip safety notches The combi rack and universal tray have non-tip safety notches which prevent them being pulled right out when they only need to be partially pulled out. The tray and rack can then only be taken out of the oven by raising them upwards and then pulling them out.

Steam cooking

Eco Steam cooking
You can use the Eco Steam cooking function to save energy during steam cooking. This function is suitable mainly for cooking fish and vegetables. We recommend following the cooking durations and temperatures from the tables specified in “Steam cooking”. You can cook for longer if necessary. When cooking starchy foods such as potatoes, rice and pasta, the best function to use is Steam cooking .
Settings Oven functions | Eco Steam cooking

Notes on the cooking tables
Follow the instructions on cooking durations, temperatures and cooking notes.
Selecting the cooking duration The cooking durations given are guidelines only. We recommend selecting the shorter
duration initially. You can cook for longer if necessary.

67

Steam cooking

Vegetables
Fresh Prepare fresh vegetables in the usual way, i.e. wash, clean and cut them up.
Frozen food Frozen vegetables do not need to be defrosted beforehand, unless they have been frozen together in a block. Frozen and fresh vegetables which take the same length of time to cook can be cooked together. If vegetables have frozen together in clumps, break these up before cooking with steam. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging regarding cooking duration.
Cooking containers Food such as peas or asparagus spears, which have little or no space between them, will take longer to cook because the steam has less space to work in. For an even result, it is best to use a shallow container for these types of food, and only fill it about 3-5 cm deep. When cooking large quantities divide the food between 2 or 3 shallow containers rather than using one deep one. Different types of vegetables which take the same length of time to cook can be cooked together. Use solid containers for vegetables which are cooked in liquid.

Shelf level To avoid any colour transfer when cooking vegetables with a distinctive colour (e.g. beetroot) in a perforated container, do not place other food underneath the perforated container.
Cooking duration The cooking duration depends on the size of the food and how well cooked you want it, just as it does with conventional cooking methods. Example: Waxy potatoes, cut into quarters: approx. 17 minutes Waxy potatoes, cut in half: approx. 20 minutes

Fish
Fresh Prepare fresh fish in the usual way, i.e. clean, gut and fillet.
Frozen food Fish does not need to be fully defrosted before cooking. Defrost so that the surface is sufficiently thawed to take herbs and seasoning. Depending on the thickness of the fish, 2 – 5 minutes should be enough.
Preparation Add some lemon or lime juice to fish before cooking. The citric acid helps the flesh stay firm. It is not necessary to season fish with salt when cooking with steam as this method retains the minerals which give the fish its unique flavour.
Cooking containers If using a perforated container, grease it first.

Temperature 85 °C ­ 90 °C For gently cooking delicate types of fish, such as sole. 100 °C For cooking firmer types of fish, e.g. cod and salmon. Also for cooking fish in sauce or stock.
Duration The cooking duration depends on the thickness and the texture of the fish, and not on the weight. The thicker the fish, the longer the cooking duration. A 3 cm thick piece of fish weighing 500 g will take longer to cook than a 2 cm thick piece of fish weighing 500 g. The longer fish cooks, the firmer its flesh will become. Use the cooking durations given in the chart. If you find that the fish is not cooked sufficiently only cook it for a few minutes more. When cooking fish in sauce or stock, we recommend that you increase the cooking duration quoted by a few minutes.

Shelf level When cooking fish in a perforated container at the same time as cooking other types of food in other containers, place the container with the fish directly above the universal tray to catch any liquid and so avoid any transfer of tastes to other food.

Tips
– Adding herbs and spices, such as dill, will help bring out the full flavour of the fish.
– Cook large fish in swimming position. To help maintain the shape of the fish, place a small cup or similar upside down in the cooking container, and arrange the fish belly-side down over the cup.
– You can use any fish scraps, e.g. fish heads, bones, tails etc to make a fish stock. Place the fish scraps together with some mixed vegetables in a solid cooking container and add cold water. Cook at 100 °C for 60 to 90 minutes. The longer the cooking duration, the stronger the stock.
– Preparing fish au bleu is a method involving cooking the fish in water with vinegar, at different proportions depending on the recipe. It is important not to damage the skin of the fish. This method is suitable for cooking carp, trout, tench, eel and salmon.

Meat
Fresh Prepare the meat in the usual way.
Frozen food Meat should be thoroughly defrosted before cooking (see “Special applications” ­ “Defrost”).
Preparation For meat which needs to be seared before being cooked, e.g. for a stew, sear the meat in a pan on the hob first.
Duration The cooking duration depends on the thickness and the texture of the meat, and not on the weight. The thicker the piece of meat, the longer the cooking duration. A piece of meat weighing 500 g which is 10 cm thick will take longer to cook than a piece of meat weighing 500 g which is 5 cm thick.

Tips – To retain the flavour, use a perforated
cooking container. Place a solid cooking container or the universal tray underneath in order to collect the concentrate. You can use the concentrate to enhance your sauces or freeze it for later use. – Boiling meat from chicken and beef as well as meat bones can be used to make a strong stock. Place the meat together with the bones and some mixed vegetables in a cooking container and add cold water. The longer the cooking duration, the stronger the stock.

Rice
Rice swells when cooked and needs to be cooked in liquid. The proportion of rice to liquid will vary depending on the type of rice. The rice absorbs all the liquid during the cooking process and so none of the nutrients are lost.
Cooking container Use a solid cooking container. Alternatively, smaller quantities of rice (up to a cup, approx. 50­150 g) can also be cooked in a suitable stainless steel bowl on the rack.
Preparation Wash the rice before cooking. If you wash the rice in the cooking container, drain the water off carefully afterwards. Tip: The required volume of liquid can be determined using scales or the cup method. For the cup method, fill a cup with the desired quantity of rice and then place the rice in the cooking container. Then measure the required volume of liquid (see chart) with the cup and add it to the rice. Make sure that the rice is evenly distributed in the cooking container.

Pasta

Dry pasta
Dry pasta swells when it is cooked and needs to be cooked in liquid. The liquid must cover the pasta. Using hot liquid gives better results. Increase the cooking time stated by the manufacturer by approx. ¹/.

Fresh food
Fresh pasta, such as the kind you can buy from the supermarket chilled counter, does not need to absorb water. Cook fresh pasta in a greased perforated container. Separate any pieces of pasta which have stuck together and spread them out in the cooking container.

Dried pulses
Soak pulses for at least 10 hours in cold water before cooking. Soaking makes the pulses more digestible and shortens the cooking duration required. Soaked pulses must be covered with liquid during cooking. Lentils do not need to be soaked before cooking. With unsoaked pulses a certain ratio of pulses to liquid is required depending on variety.

Hen’s eggs
Use a perforated container to boil eggs. The eggs do not need to be pierced before cooking as they are gradually warmed during the heating up phase and so do not burst when they are cooked with steam. When using a solid container for making egg dishes such as scrambled eggs, remember to grease it first.
