Answer:

For Convection Steam Oven (CSO) cooking suggestions and both basic and advanced recipes and tips., refer to:

The tips and recommendations here apply to both the touch control and knob control CSO.

  • Use and care:
    • Always use the WATER button to open the water door. Opening the door manually will cause damage.
    • Fill the water tank with fresh, cold tap water. Never fill with demineralized, filtered, or distilled water.
    • After each use, place the oven door in the “at rest” position and allow to cool. Then wipe the interior with a paper towel or cloth.
      • Note: Convection Steam Oven plumbed models do not need to be wiped with a paper towel following each use.  
  • Cooking tips:
    • Cooking in the CSO will require steam for most modes. Any mode requiring steam cannot be used without steam.
    • The CSO is not capable of reaching temperatures greater than 445°F. Recipes calling for a higher temperature should be prepared in a conventional oven.
    • Plastic wrap and parchment paper can be used in the CSO.
    • Always follow package directions.
    • Do not cook popcorn in the CSO.

FoodSuggestions
Cheesecake
  • The Convection Steam Oven operates with the convection fans running at all times.
  • Cheesecake and other custard-based items do not benefit from convection.
  • Custard-based items can still be made in convection ovens. However, the results will not be as good if convection is used.
  • Use the Convection Humid mode, placing the spring-form pan (tightly sealed around the sides and bottom to keep water out) in a water bath.
  • Place the cheesecake, custard, or flan as far up in the oven as possible, rack position 3. This will help shield it from the wind.
  • Take the temperature down to 300°F.
  • The time is going to vary greatly, depending on the size of the water bath, the volume of the batter, etc.
  • Start checking it after 1 hour to see if it still wiggles when you shake it gently.
  • Let the food rest in the refrigerator overnight, which is just as important as the cooking process itself.
Egg (soft coddled)
  • Leave the egg in the shell as for a hard-boiled egg but for less time.
  • Set to Steam mode at 185°F.
  • Cook 18 minutes in a cold oven.
  • 10-11 minutes for each additional batch, or if the CSO was on to begin with.
Rice with liquid in a dish
  • Cover it with a lid or tin foil to keep moisture in.
  • Set to Steam mode at 210°F.
  • Cook for 30-40 minutes on rack position 2.
Prime rib
  • Trim, tie, and brown the roast.
  • Brown roast on a grill, griddle, or in an oven-safe pan under the broiler.
    • This does not need to be a hard sear. The sear is not to cook the roast, just to quickly add color.
    • Season with a little salt, pepper, and olive oil.
    • May be done a day ahead if desired.
  • If roast is coming out of the refrigerator, remove from refrigerator at least 5-1/2 hours before you want to eat.
  • Insert probe so the tip is in the thickest part of the roast.
  • Put roast on the solid pan and slide onto rack position 1.
  • Plug the probe into the oven.
  • Set the oven at least 4-3/4 hours before you want to eat.
