Steamed Whole Fish with Ginger, Soy Sauce and Sesame Oil
When steaming whole fish in the Combi-Steam oven, select the solid pan or use an oven-safe casserole dish. Then add the aromatics you wish to use to flavor the fish together with just enough water to cover the base of the pan and maybe even a splash of wine if appropriate. The cooking time will be a little longer than when fish is steamed over boiling water, but the succulent results are well worth the extra 8 - 10 minutes of cooking time.
Ingredients
Cooking the Fish
2 whole tilapia or striped sea bass, scales and fins removed
1” piece of fresh ginger, thinly sliced
2 scallions, thinly sliced into 2” long diagonal strips
1 lemon, thinly sliced
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp sesame oil
Serving the Fish
1 small red Jalapeno chili pepper, cut into very thin circles
2 scallions, thinly sliced into 2” long diagonal strip
4 tbsp sesame oil, heated
Paul Tang
Preparation
Heat the oven in the Steam mode, 100% Humidity, 212 Degrees
Pour about ¼ - ½ a cup of water into the solid Combi-Steam oven Pan.
Cut a few diagonal slits in the fish and place the fish in the prepared pan.
Place the lemon and ginger slices in the slits and put any remaining slices in the belly together with the scallions.
Pour the soy sauce over the fish then drizzle the sesame oil over the fish. Place in the oven and cook for 15 - 20 minutes until the fish flakes easily from the bone.
Place the fish on a platter and sprinkle the reserved scallions and chili pepper over the fish.
Heat the sesame oil until sizzling then pour it over the fish.

Vanilla Creme Brulee
Using a water bath to temper the heat when cooking delicate foods such as custard or flan is a brilliant method for cooking delicate foods, but when cooking custard in the Steam oven no water bath is needed. Not only is the cooking process simplified, the texture of the custard is the perfectly smooth and silky.
Larissa Taboryski
Ingredients
2 cups cream or half and half
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise OR 1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
5 egg yolks (large eggs)
1/2 cup sugar
Additional sugar for caramelizing
Preparation
Heat the Steam oven in the Convection Steam Mode at 220F (104C)
Combine the cream, vanilla bean and salt in a heavy pan and cook over low heat until hot. Remove from the heat and let it steep for a few minutes before discarding the vanilla bean.
Beat the egg yolks and sugar together until light. Stir a quarter of the cream into the mixture then pour the sugar-egg mixture into the cream and stir.
Place 6, 4-oz ramekins in the Steam oven perforated pan or onto a rimmed baking sheet and fill each one with the prepared custard. Slide the pan into the oven and cook for 40 - 50 minutes until the custards are set. Cool the custards before refrigerating for at least 6 hours prior to serving.
To Serve the Custard
Adjust the top rack in the oven so the ramekins will sit 2 - 3" below the heating element.
Heat the oven in the Broil Mode at 450F (232C) or on Medium for 5 minutes.
Place the ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar in a thin layer over each ramekin. Slide into the oven and cook for about 5 minutes until the sugar melts.
