Core temperature probe In the case of poultry, make sure that the tip of the core temperature probe is not in the cavity in the center, but in the meat between the belly and upper leg. The core temperature probe enables exact cooking to the spot. It measures the temperature inside the food being cooked. Automatic switching off when the desired core temperature is reached ensures that each cooked food is cooked precisely. Use the included core temperature probe only.
Notes ‒ ‒ ‒ The measurable range is 59 to 210° F (15 to 99°C). Outside the measurable range, "--°F" is displayed for the current core temperature. If you leave the food in the cooking compartment for some time after cooking, the core temperature will continue to rise somewhat due to the residual heat in the cooking compartment.

Tables and tips Notes ‒ perforated cooking insert in the first level from the bottom in order to avoid soiling the bottom of the cooking compartment and steamer tray more than necessary. The cooking times specified are intended as a guide. The actual cooking time depends on the quality and temperature of the food before cooking, the weight and thickness of the food to be cooked.

Meat – cooking at higher temperatures ▯ The combination of steam and hot air is the optimal cooking process for many types of meat. The cooking compartment is hermetically sealed in this mode, the moisture prevents the meat from drying out as in conventional hot air. Thanks to the variable humidity control, the optimal climate can be achieved for every type of food.
Meat/poultry – low-temperature cooking ▯ ▯ Meat browned crisp needs to rest for a longer period at low temperature. This way, the meat gets evenly pink and extremely juicy but for a very thin crusty edge. Here, neither turning nor basting are required. The cooking times specified should be regarded as guidelines and depend heavily on the initial temperature of the food and the length of time roasted. For better results, use the core temperature probe.
Poultry ▯ The humidity for combination operation prevents the drying out, which is essential with poultry. At the same time, thanks to the high temperature, the surface gets crispy and brown. The hot steam has twice as much ability to transfer heat as conventional hot air and reaches all parts of the food. Therefore, a chicken is browned evenly and gets crispy, yet the breast meat remains tender and juicy.

This mode corresponds to hot air in the conventional oven. ‒ ` | Hot air + 30% humidity: Mixed cake does not dry out.

Defrosting ▯ In the steam oven you can gently and evenly thaw deep frozen foods faster than at room temperature. ▯ Use the "Defrosting" mode W to do this. ▯ The specified thawing times are for your orientation only. The time it takes to thaw depends on the size and weight of the frozen food: freeze your foods flatly or individually. This shortens the thawing time. ▯ Take foods out of the packaging before thawing them. ▯ Thaw only the amount you immediately need.
Preserving ▯ In combination steam ovens, you can can fruit and vegetables with little effort. ▯ If possible, cook food immediately after purchase or harvesting. Longer storage decreases the vitamin content and can cause spoilage. ▯ Only use fruit and vegetables in good condition. ▯ The combination steam oven is not suited for preserving meat. ▯ Check and clean the canning jars, rubber rings, clamps, and springs carefully.
Preparing yoghourt ▯ You can even prepare your own yogurt in the combination steam oven. ▯ For yogurt enzymes, heed the package instructions. ▯ Fill the yogurt into clean jars. ▯ Heat pasteurized milk to 195°F (90°C) on the burner in order to prevent a disturbance of the yogurt cultures. Ultra-high-heated milk (H-milk) does not have to be heated. (Note: if you want to make yogurt with cold milk, the resting period is longer).
