below . Most of the ideas c ame from our creative
customers. Experiment with this feature on your
own and let us know of any new uses.
D Add a minute or two at the beginning when bak-
ing bread for a shiny crust.
D Kick start large loads s uch as 20 or more chick-
ens. By starting large loads with 5 to 8 minutes
of steam you help the oven recover and cut the
cooking time by more than 10%.
D Bake bagels without boiling. By starting raw ba-
gels with 1 to 2 minutes of steam you can
achieve a beautiful crust.
D Cream caramel is great at 230_F to 250_Finthe
Combi mode using 2 minutes of on demand
steam.
D When cooking chicken wings, try setting the
oven in the Combi mode at 375_F and use 3
minutes of Steam On Demand. This method will
stop the tips from burning. Total cooking time is
approximately 12 minutes.
D Pork ribs tend to pull off the bone better when
using 5---8 minutes of Steam On Demand. Try
ribs in the Combi mode at 350_F.
