Fish
Steaming does not dry out fish and its intrinsic 
taste and texture are preserved very well.
For reasons of hygiene, fish and other critical 
foodstuffs should have a core temperature of at 
least 143 - 149° F (62 - 65°C) after cooking. This 
is simultaneously the ideal cooking point.
Do not salt fish until after cooking it. This 
preserves the natural aroma and less water is 
extracted from the fish.
When using the perforated cooking receptacle: 
you can grease it lightly if fish should stick to it 
too easily.
Insert the unperforated cooking insert in the first 
level from below to avoid extreme soiling of the 
oven interior with intensively smelling fish juice.
In the case of fillets with skin: place the fish with 
its skin side pointing upward to preserve its 
structure and aroma.
