Page 51: Fish
Steam cooking Fish Fresh fish Prepare fresh fish in the usual way, i.e. clean, gut and fillet. Frozen fish Fish should be at least partially defrosted before cooking (see "Defrosting"). Preparation Add some lemon or lime juice to fish before cooking. The citric acid helps the flesh stay firm. - Page 52 Steam cooking Duration The cooking duration depends on the thickness and consistency of the food and not the weight. The thicker the food, 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.
- Page 53 Steam cooking The durations given in the chart are guidelines for fresh fish. We recommend selecting the shorter cooking duration quoted to start with. If the fish is not cooked sufficiently after the shorter time, it can be put back in the steam combi oven and cooked some more.

Page 88: Roasting
Roasting General information Please ensure that both grease filters are inserted in the oven. Never roast frozen meat as it will dry out. Defrost it beforehand. In general, it is best to place the meat directly on the rack and place the condensate tray underneath. This will ensure that the meat cooks evenly on all sides and the meat juices which collect in the condensate tray can be used to make a gravy or a sauce. -
Page 89: Combi Mode
Roasting Combi mode The cooking durations for Combi mode are longer than durations in a conventional oven as combination mode cooking is carried out at lower temperatures. The lower the temperature in the cooking compartment compared to the core temperature, the longer the cooking process and therefore the more tender the result. - Page 90 Roasting Settings Combi mode G (Roasting) Type of meat Stage Temperature Moisture Duration in °C in % in minutes Poultry Duck (whole up to 3 kg) 60 - 90 10 - 20 Goose (whole up to 4 kg) 130 - 150 120 - 150 Goose thighs 30 - 40...
