Steam cooking Shellfish Preparation Defrost frozen shellfish before cooking with steam. Peel, remove and discard the intestines, and then wash the shellfish. Cooking containers If using a perforated container, grease it first. Duration The longer shellfish are cooked, the tougher they become. Use the cooking dura- tions given in the chart.
Steam cooking Mussels Fresh food Danger of food poisoning from spoiled mussels. Spoiled mussels can cause food poisoning. Only cook mussels which are closed. Do not eat mussels which have not opened after being cooked. Steep fresh mussels in water for a few hours before cooking to rinse out any sand. Then scrub the mussels thoroughly to clean them.
Steam cooking 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 nutri- ents are lost.
Steam cooking 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. ¹/₃. Fresh food Fresh pasta, such as the kind you can buy from the supermarket chilled counter, does not need to absorb water.
Steam cooking Dumplings Ready made boil-in-the-bag dumplings need to be well covered with water as oth- erwise they can fall apart. This is because even though they have been soaked in water beforehand they will not absorb enough moisture. Cook fresh dumplings in a greased, perforated container. Settings Temperature: 100 °C Duration: see chart...

Steam cooking 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.
Steam cooking Hen's eggs Use a perforated container to boil eggs in the steam oven. 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.
Steam cooking Fruit Cook fruit in a solid container so that none of the juice is lost. If you wish to cook fruit in a perforated container, place a solid container directly underneath it to col- lect the juice. Tip: You can use the juice which has collected in the solid container to make a glaze for a fruit flan.
