General notes The "General Notes" 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 color.
General notes Shelf level Cooking duration You can select any shelf level. You can also cook on several levels at the same time. This will not alter the cooking duration. 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.
General notes Wire oven rack / universal tray Use the rack above the universal tray when roasting or broiling. The cooking liquids will collect in the tray and can then be used to make a gravy or sauce. If you are using the universal tray with the rack on top, e.g. for broiling, insert the tray between the rails of the side runners and the rack will automatically slide in above them. When removing them from the oven pull both parts out together.

Ensure hygienic conditions and that food has not been out of the refrigerator too long, e.g. during transportation.
Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking Important information on use To obtain an optimum cooking result, observe the following information: – Use fewer herbs and spices than for conventional cooking, since the influence on the taste of the food is more intense. You can also prepare the food unseasoned and add seasonings after cooking. – Information on temperature and duration from sous-vide recipes cannot always be adopted 1:1. Adjust these settings according to the desired level of doneness.
Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking Tips – To shorten the preparation times, you can vacuum food 1–2 days before the cooking procedure. Store the vacuumed food in the refrigerator at a maximum of 41°F / 5°C. To maintain quality and taste, the food must be cooked after 2 days at the latest. – Freeze liquids such as marinades before vacuum-sealing to prevent them from escaping from the vacuum bag. – Fold the edges of the vacuum bag outwards for filling in order to obtain clean, perfect weld seams.
Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking Method Rinse the food under cold water and dry it. Possible causes for poor results The vacuum bag has opened: Put the food in a vacuum bag and add spices or liquid if desired. – The weld seam was not clean or stable enough and dissolved. Vacuum-seal the food in a chamber system vacuum sealer. – The bag was damaged by a sharp bone. For optimum cooking results, insert the rack on shelf level 2.
