Miele DGC 5080 XL Oven User Manual


 
Shelf level
You can select any shelf level. You can also cook on several
levels at the same time. This will not alter the cooking
duration.
Temperature
A maximum temperature of 100 °C is reached when steam
cooking is taking place. Most types of food will cook at this
temperature. Some more delicate types of food, such as soft
fruit, must be cooked at lower temperatures as otherwise they
will burst. More information is given in the relevant section.
Cooking duration (time)
In general, the cooking durations for cooking with steam are
the same as for cooking food in a saucepan. More
information about any factors which may affect the cooking
duration is given in the relevant sections.
The quantity of food does not affect the cooking duration. 1
kg of potatoes will take the same time to cook as 500 g.
The cooking durations given in the charts are guidelines only.
We recommend selecting the shorter cooking duration
quoted. If food is not cooked sufficiently after the shorter time
it can be put back in the oven and cooked for longer.
Cooking with liquid
When cooking with liquid only fill the cooking container
2
/
3
full
to prevent the liquid spilling when the cooking container is
removed from the oven.
Your own recipes
Food and recipes which are prepared in pot or a pan can
also be cooked using steam. The cooking durations will be
the same. Please note that food will not be browned when
cooking with steam.
