Fish
▯ Steaming is a cooking method that does not use any
fat and does not allow fish to dry out.
▯ For food hygiene reasons, fish should have a core
temperature of at least 144 - 149° F (62–65 °C) after
cooking. This is also the ideal cooking temperature.
▯ When steaming at temperatures of 195 - 212° F (90–
100 °C), no preheating is necessary. Place the dish in
the oven when it is cold and then switch on the
appliance.
▯ Do not season the fish with salt until it is fully cooked.
This will ensure that the natural flavor is retained and
that less water is drawn out of the fish.
▯ When using the perforated cooking container, you can
grease the container if the fish sticks too much.
▯ Place the unperforated cooking container on the first
level from the bottom to avoid getting fish stock on the
oven cavity surfaces.
▯ For fillets with skin, place the fish on the cooking
container or wire rack with the skin side up – this
helps to retain its texture and flavor.
