Blanching

Steam mode can be used to blanch vegetables 

to prepare them for freezing. Place the prepared 

vegetables in the steam basket on the high rack 

in the baking tray. Use upper level in oven. Press 

STEAM, MANUAL and desired time 4 - 5 minutes. 

Press START. After steaming, put in cold water to 

cool quickly. Drain and then freeze.

Density

Food density will affect the amount of cooking 

time. Cut the food into thinner parts, if possible, 

and arrange in single layer.

Quantity

The cooking time must be increased as the 

amount increases.

Size

Small foods and small pieces cook faster than 

large ones, as heat can penetrate from all sides to 

the center. For even cooking make all the pieces 

the same size.

Shape

Foods which are irregular in shape, such as 

chicken breasts or drumsticks, may take longer to 

cook in the thicker parts. Check that these parts 

are cooked thoroughly before serving.

Temperature 

of food

The initial temperature of food affects the cooking 

time. Chilled foods will take longer to cook than 

foods at room temperature. The temperature of 

the container is not the actual temperature of the 

food or drink.

Seasoning 

and flavor-

ing

Seasoning or flavoring are best added after cook-

ing. If added as marinades or rubs, the taste may 

become less pronounced when cooking with 

steam. Add seasoning or flavoring again after 

cooking, if necessary.
