Blanching
The steam oven can also be used to
blanch vegetables and fruit to prepare
them for freezing.
^ Put the prepared vegetables/fruit
(cleaned, washed, chopped, etc.)
into a perforated container.
^ Select the function "Cook Vegetables"
and confirm. Confirm the default
temperature (100 °C / 212 °F).
^ Set a time of 1 minute and confirm.
^ Once blanched, plunge the
vegetables/fruit into ice water.
Once they have dried thoroughly they
can be frozen.
Making Yogurt
Ingredients: 3.5 oz (100 g) yogurt (with
live cultures) and 1 quart (1 l) of
pasteurized or fresh whole milk. Yogurt
and milk must have the same fat
contents.
^ Heat (do not boil) fresh milk to 194°F
(90°C).
^ Once cool, mix the milk together with
the yogurt. This will give the yogurt a
firm texture.
^ Fill 6 yogurt jars with the mixture and
cover with aluminum foil.
^ Set the covered jars on the rack.
^ Select "Cook Universal" and lower the
default temperature to 104°F (40°C).
^ Set a duration of 4 hours 59 min.
^ Let the yogurt cool and store it in the
refrigerator.
Once the yogurt has completely cooled
it will have a firm texture.
