HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!

Refer to "Safety information"

chapter.

The temperature and baking

times in the tables are guidelines

only. They depend on the recipes,

quality and quantity of the ingre-

dients used.

COOKING WITH STEAM

Cookware for steam cooking

• Use only heat and corrosion resistant

cookware.

• Glass dishes are correct too (included

with some models).

Shelf positions

• There correct shelf positions are in the

table below. Count the shelf positions

from the bottom to the top.

General notes

• When you cook longer than 30 minutes

or when you cook large quantities of

food, add water if it is necessary.

• Put the food in the correct cooking con-

tainers and put the containers on the

shelves. Keep the distance between the

shelves to let the steam get to each

container.

• After each use, remove the water from

the water drawer, connecting hoses

and steam generator. Refer to the

chapter "Care and cleaning".

Note on the tables for steam cooking

• The tables give data for typical dishes.

• The temperature and time are for guid-

ance only and depend on the composi-

tion, size, quantity of food and the

cookware.

• Use a similar recipe if you cannot find

the settings for your recipe.

• Start the cooking with a cold oven if the

data in the tables does not recommend

differently.

• When you cook rice, because of its abil-

ity to absorb water, use a water to rice

ratio of 1.5:1 - 2:1.

Ingredients:

Serves 4

• 500 g boiled potatoes, cooled

• 160 g finely ground wheat flour

• 30 g grated Parmesan

• 1 egg yolk

•Salt

Sauce:

• 40 g butter

• 80 g onions, finely chopped

•100 ml white wine

• 100 ml cream

• A few sage leaves, chopped

• Lemon juice

•Salt

• White pepper

•60 g Parmesan (served separately)

Garnish:

• 1 slice of lemon and 2 sage leaves for

each serving

Preparing the gnocchi dough:

Puree the potatoes and work them into a

firm dough together with the specified in-

gredients. Let it stand for 5 minutes and

then continue to work it briskly to prevent

the potato dough from becoming too

soft. Separate the potato dough into

small portions and roll them out into noo-

dles as wide as your thumb. They can then

be cut into small chunks. Steam them.

Prepare the sauce while they are steam-

ing.

Preparing the sauce:

Sweat the chopped onions in the melted

butter until they are a golden yellow col-

our and then add white wine. Pour in the

cream. Reduce it slightly. Add the chop-

ped sages leaves and spices. If the sauce

becomes too thick, thin it with a little veg-

etable stock and cream.
