- Corned Beef with Cabbage, Potatoes and Carrots
The basic recipe for Corned Beef is to simmer the meat for approximately 3 hours in a covered casserole then adding in the potatoes, carrots and cabbage to cook all together Anchor 1 YOUR RECIPE FOR STEAM COOKING Corned Beef with Cabbage, Potatoes and Carrots Steaming A delicious corned beef with vegetables steaming to perfection in the oven. To cook this meal in the Combi-Steam Oven, I recommend using a casserole pan deeper than the more shallow solid steam pan. The basic recipe for Corned Beef involves simmering the meat for approximately 3 hours in a covered casserole, then adding the potatoes, carrots, and cabbage to cook all together for the final 35 minutes or so. The result? It is a mouthwatering, easy, and delicious meal. However, you won’t have to cover the meat completely, so add enough water to cover ½ up the side of the pan. INGREDIENTS 1 - 2-3lb Corned Beef 2 - lbs medium-sized red potatoes, cut into quarters 6 - medium carrots, peeled and cut into 3” diagonal chunks 1 - head white cabbage, core removed, cut into wedges PREPARATION Choose the combination Convection Steam Mode 300 degrees, or if your oven has a Humidity Setting, choose 100% Humidity + 300 degrees. Check the meat with a fork after 3 hours of cooking time. If it’s beginning to soften, add the vegetables; otherwise, cook it a little longer before adding them. Take the beef out of the packet and rinse to remove excess sodium. Then, place it in a casserole or large pan at 4” in depth. Heat the oven as directed, add enough liquid to come at least halfway up the side of the pan, stir in the spice packet if using, and place in the oven. Remember to slice the beef thinly across the grain. You can heat the sliced beef in some of the cooking juice to make really delicious sandwiches.

- Orzo Pasta Salad with Grilled Artichokes and Poached Shrimp
This steam oven salad with shrimp, grilled artichokes, cherry tomatoes, orzo pasta, onions, lemon, pine nuts, and garlic is simple and delicious. Anchor 1 YOUR RECIPE FOR STEAM COOKING Orzo Pasta Salad with Grilled Artichokes and Poached Shrimp Steam mode Delicious steam oven orzo pasta salad with shrimp showcases the benefits of steam cooking for a flavorful and vibrant dish. This recipe illustrates how easy it is to ditch saucepans and cook multiple foods in the steam oven. Rather than heating a big pan of water to cook small pasta such as orzo, you can just cover the pasta with water, add salt, and cook it in the Combi-steam oven. If your oven doesn’t have a small-sized pan, the orzo can be cooked in a glass or ovenproof casserole dish. While the orzo is cooking, you can safely turn your attention to preparing the remaining salad ingredients without fear of a boilover. Best of all you can poach some shrimp at the same time to combine with the salad or to serve as a separate dish. This recipe can use grilled or marinated artichoke hearts; I found the grilled artichokes in the salad section at Whole Foods, and they are delicious. Salad ingredients INGREDIENTS For the Orzo Salad 1 cup orzo pasta 1 cup of water or enough to cover the pasta 1 8 oz package of grilled or marinated artichoke hearts, coarsely chopped ¼ cup finely chopped red onion ¼ cup minced Italian parsley leaves 2 cups mini heirloom tomatoes, quartered ¼ cup pine nuts, lightly toasted 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves For the Shrimp 1lb raw shrimp 20 - 25 per lb 1/2 lemon, sliced 1/2 cup water Splash of white wine Dressing ¼ cup olive oil 1 ½ tbsp golden balsamic or sherry vinegar 2 cloves garlic, minced PREPARATION Heat the Steam oven in the Steam mode at 212°F degrees. To Cook the Orzo Pasta Place the pasta in a small, solid oven-proof casserole, add enough water to cover, and add a pinch of kosher salt. Place in the oven and cook for 12 - 15 minutes until tender. Drain if necessary, fluff with a fork, and combine with the remaining ingredients in a large, shallow bowl. Combine the oil, vinegar, and garlic in a glass measuring cup. Add a pinch of sea salt and some freshly ground pepper. Add to the salad while the pasta is still warm so it absorbs the flavor. To Cook the Shrimp Place the lemon slices in a small oven-proof casserole and add just enough water to cover. Add the shrimp and a splash of white wine, place the pan in the steam oven, set to Steam mode, and cook for 4 minutes. The shrimp should be orange and slightly firm to the touch. Remove the shrimp from the poaching liquid and fold them into the orzo salad or arrange them over the top.

- Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Vegetables
This Pork Tenderloin with roasted veggies is a Steam Roasting mode recipe which is a combination of Convection Steam Mode. Anchor 1 YOUR RECIPE FOR STEAM COOKING Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Vegetables Steam-Roasting Succulent roast pork tenderloin, preserved with the moisture of a steam oven, served alongside golden roasted potatoes and vibrant cabbage. This is a Combi-Roasting mode recipe which is a combination of Convection Steam Mode. The important thing to think about with this combination is timing and temperature. Since the tenderloin has already been seared it only needs about 15 minutes in the oven at a moderate temperature to cook through. However, you also need to factor in 10 minutes for resting before slicing. If the vegetables take about 25 - 30 minutes to cook then they can go into the oven with the tenderloin at a moderate temperature and when you remove the tenderloin to rest before slicing, you can increase the oven temperature to give the vegetables some high heat for caramelization. INGREDIENTS 1 - 1lb pork tenderloin 1 - teaspoon BBQ spice rub ½ - teaspoon Kosher salt 2 - teaspoons olive oil Vegetables: 2 - cups Brussels sprouts, washed, trimmed and cut into 3 - 4 slices 8 - ounces Cremini mushrooms, cut into 3 - 4 slices 4 - small golden potatoes, cut into ½” thick slices ( or 1 large sweet potato if you prefer) ½ - teaspoon mixed Italian seasoning 1 - tablespoon olive oil PREPARATION Tenderloin Preparation: Heat the Steam Oven in the Combination Convection Steam Mode 350 degrees. Rub the seasoning and oil into the tenderloin and heat a 10 - 12” skillet over moderate heat, sear the tenderloin on all sides then place on a rimmed baking sheet. Toss the vegetables in a little olive oil and spread onto the baking sheet next to the pork. Cook for 15 minutes until the Pork is firm to the touch. Remove the pork from the oven and set aside to rest. Change the oven Mode to Convection 400 degrees and cook the vegetables for another 15 minutes. Using this combination they cook with the combined benefit of humidity and dryer heat for caramelization. Vegetable Preparation: Toss the vegetables with the oil and spread onto a rimmed baking sheet cooking as directed above. Note: if your oven doesn’t accommodate a ½ sized baking sheet you may have to cook the pork on a separate pan so that the vegetables are not too crowded.

- Roast Beef Top Loin Steam Roasted
A top loin beef roast makes a wonderful traditional roast beef dinner with roasted vegetables and horseradish sauce plus extras for roast beef sandwiches or a salad Anchor 1 YOUR RECIPE FOR STEAM COOKING Roast Beef Top Loin Steam Roasted Steam-Baking Steam-Oven Top Loin Beef. A top loin beef roast makes a wonderful traditional roast beef dinner with roasted vegetables and horseradish sauce plus extras for roast beef sandwiches or a salad. Even though the meat has a nice fat cap it is not heavily marbled so cooking it at a moderate temperature with steam will yield the most tender results. The usual tips for success apply, if possible season the roast 6 hours to a day in advance, let it come to room temperature before cooking and allow 15 minutes for resting prior to slicing the meat crosswise. INGREDIENTS 1 - beef loin roast 3 - 5lbs ( feeding 6 - 10 people) 3 - cloves garlic, peeled and minced 1 - teaspoon dried Italian seasoning 1 - teaspoon kosher salt ½ - teaspoon cracked pepper 1 - tablespoon olive oil PREPARATION Combine the seasonings and rub into the beef roast at least 6 hours in advance and be sure to let it come to room temperature before cooking. Preheat the steam oven in the Convection Mode 425 degrees. Place the meat on a small rack in a shallow pan and roast for 15 minutes. Change the oven cooking mode to Convection Steam 325 degrees and cook for another hour or until the roast reaches your preferred internal temperature.

- How to Roast a Whole Duck in the Steam Oven
The added humidity in the Combi Steam Oven provides the perfect environment for roasting duck. And if you follow these simple steps you will avoid splattering fat all around the oven Anchor 1 YOUR RECIPE FOR STEAM COOKING How to Roast a Whole Duck in the Steam Oven Steaming, Steam-Roasting Perfectly cooked steamed oven duck paired with roasted potatoes and leafy greens for a sumptuous meal. The added humidity in the Combi Steam Oven provides the perfect environment for roasting duck. And if you follow these simple steps you will avoid splattering fat all around the oven, so you can enjoy a delicious feast without having to face a major clean-up. INGREDIENTS 1 whole duck PREPARATION Here are the important steps for success for roasting a 4 - 5lb duck. Season the duck a day in advance with kosher salt and your preferred seasoning Set the duck on a rack in a shallow pan at least 2” high (to contain the rendered fat) and cover loosely with a sheet of parchment or wax paper and refrigerate overnight. Let the duck sit outside of the refrigerator an hour or more prior to cooking. Heat the Combi Steam Oven in the Combination Convection Steam Mode 325 degrees. Set the timer for 1 hour 15 minutes. If your oven has a temperature probe, insert into the thickest part of the breast not touching bone (can be tricky with a duck) and program to 155 degrees. Carefully remove the pan from the oven, set the rack with the duck on a rimmed baking sheet and carefully pour the rendered duck fat into a small bowl or measuring cup. Change the oven Mode to Convection NO Humidity, 425 degrees. Brush the duck with some of the rendered duck fat, slide the pan into the Combi Steam Oven and cook for another 25 - 30 minutes until golden. Allow the duck to rest for at least 10 minutes before carving into sections for serving. While the duck is cooking in the final stage, you can toss potatoes or other root vegetables with some of the rendered duck fat and roast them in the Convection Roast or Bake Mode, 375 degrees. Greens such as kale or broccolini can be combined with the potatoes for the final 8 - 10 minutes of cooking. Convection Method This same method of cooking the duck at a low temperature in the initial cooking stage and finished with high heat can also be done in your Convection Oven. Follow the same steps as noted above using these Oven Modes and Temperatures. Cooking the duck at low temperatures using Convection will ensure the juice stays in the meat, finishing at high temperatures in the more drying Radiant heat, ensures a nice crispy finish.

- How To Cook Poach Eggs In a Steam Oven
Learn how easy it is to poach eggs in your Steam oven. Eggs can be poached plain or with cooked vegetables mixed with some cheese for a delicious breakfast. Anchor 1 YOUR RECIPE FOR STEAM COOKING How To Cook Poach Eggs In a Steam Oven Steaming Mode Breakfast delight made in a steam oven: perfectly cooked eggs and freshly toasted bread. Learn how easy it is to poach eggs in your Steam oven. Eggs can be poached plain or with cooked vegetables mixed with some cheese for a delicious breakfast. Poaching eggs in your Steam oven is just one more way to make good use of this versatile appliance. To poach eggs, first heat the oven in the Steam mode, grease an oven-proof ramekin with some spray oil then crack the egg directly into the ramekin. Allow approximately 5 minutes and 30 seconds cooking time for a large cold egg. Eggs can also be poached over some cooked vegetables mixed with some cheese. If the vegetables are cold from the refrigerator for best results heat the cold vegetables a little before adding the egg. The first.t time I made poached eggs like this for a training event we had some leftovers, we reheated those the following day using the Refresh mode in the Steam oven and were surprised to find that they were still absolutely delicious. INGREDIENTS 2 4oz oven-proof ramekins Spray oil 2 large eggs For Poached Eggs with Sauteed Vegetables ¼ cup cooked chopped broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, or potato 1 tbsp grated cheddar or your preferred cheese PREPARATION Heat the oven in the Steam mode to 212F degrees. Spray the inside of the ramekins and crack an egg into each one. Cook for approximately 5.30 seconds. Poached Eggs with Sauteed Vegetables Heat the oven and prepare the ramekins. Add the vegetables and place the ramekins in the oven for 2 minutes for the vegetables to heat through. Remove the ramekins from the oven, stir in the cheese, then crack the egg into the ramekin. Cook for approximately 5.30 seconds. When adding multiple ramekins to the oven at once, place them in the perforated pan for ease of handling.

- Slow Roasted Turkey Pieces
Low temperature roasting is not braising. This method is only for lean tender cuts of meat such as turkey pieces . Set the oven to 160 - 200°F and a finish with 400 - 425°F for browning Anchor 1 YOUR RECIPE FOR STEAM COOKING Slow Roasted Turkey Pieces Low Temperature Roasting Slow-cooked turkey legs roasted to perfection in a steam oven. Low temperature roasting is not to be confused with braising. This method is only for lean tender cuts of meat. You can use a temperature between the range of 160 - 200°F and a finishing temperature of 400 - 425°F for a crisp golden brown finish. Roasting turkey pieces at a low temperature and finishing the cooking with a blast of high heat is a simple method for cooking turkey that yields great results. This is the perfect solution for people who don’t want to deal with cooking a large turkey or are only feeding a small number of people. Low temperature roasting is not to be confused with braising. This method is only for lean tender cuts of meat. You can use a temperature between the range of 160 - 200°F and a finishing temperature of 400 - 425°F for a crisp golden brown finish. The turkey can be cooked in a combi steam oven using a combination of low humidity and the noted temperature range or in a convection oven using the Convection Mode and the noted temperature range. INGREDIENTS 2 bone in skin on turkey thighs 2 turkey drumsticks 1 bone-in turkey breast ¼ cup vegetable oil 1 tbsp Kosher salt ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper 1 tbsp preferred seasoning (some good options, mixed Italian Seasoning or Old Bay seasoning or your preferred BBQ seasoning) PREPARATION Allow approximately 40 - 60 minutes for the initial cooking and 12 minutes for the final browning. The final cooking can also be done in the oven or on the outdoor grill. Some things to consider when cooking turkey in this method: If you want to serve gravy with your turkey, I suggest purchasing some extra turkey legs to make stock and use the juices from the pan for extra flavor. Because the turkey is cooking at such a low temperature oven side dishes cannot be cooked at the same time so planning is key. Mix the seasonings in a small container and rub into the turkey pieces, cover and refrigerate overnight or a day or two in advance of cooking. Directions Heat the oven to 200℉, place the turkey pieces on a shallow rimmed baking sheet. If your oven has a meat probe slide the needle into the thickest part of the breast or thigh, taking care not to touch bone or let the tip of the needle touch the pan. Place the tray in the oven and program the probe to reach an internal temperature of 160℉. If your oven doesn’t have a meat probe, set the timer for 40 minutes and test the turkey in the thickest part of the breast or thigh with an instant read thermometer. Once the internal temperature has reached 160℉ continue to the next step. When the desired internal temperature has been reached, remove the pan from the oven and disconnect the meat probe. Pour off any accumulated juices to use for stock or to add to gravy and increase the oven temperature to 400°F. When the oven reaches temperature return the tray to the oven and set the timer for 12 minutes. The pieces should be golden brown and perfectly cooked at this time but additional time can be added if needed. Low Temperature Roast Turkey .pdf Download PDF • 241KB WANT TO LEARN MORE?

- Slow Roasted Rib Eye Steak
You can use Low Temperature Roasting for one single thick cut of meat or for a larger cut that you slice into individual steaks prior to grilling Anchor 1 YOUR RECIPE FOR STEAM COOKING Slow Roasted Rib Eye Steak Low Temperature Roasting Sliced steak roasted at low temperature in a steam oven, served with a vibrant black bean and sweet potato salad. You can use Low Temperature Roasting for one single thick cut of meat or for a larger cut that you slice into individual steaks prior to grilling. If you don’t want to finish the meat on the grill it can be broiled or placed in a hot oven (450 degrees) in the Convection Roast Mode for a short time to render the fat and brown the exterior. Some steam ovens have a designated Mode for this style of cooking, otherwise you can use the Combination Convection Steam Mode set to 200 - 250 degrees. Timing is going to depend on weight, a 1lb steak like the one in this recipe will cook through in 20 minutes; however, if you cook a large 7lb roast in this Mode it will take approximately 2 ⅕ hours. Remember when cooking in this mode the meat will stay very pink inside even though it is thoroughly cooked through, keep your instant read thermometer handy to ensure you get the meat to your ideal temperature. INGREDIENTS 1 - 1lb boneless rib eye steak Kosher salt & ground pepper Olive Oil ¼ - teaspoon mixed Italian seasoning (or your preferred steak seasoning) PREPARATION Heat the Steam Oven to 200 degrees in the Combination Convection Steam Mode or the Low Temperature Roast Mode. Season the meat and drizzle with a little olive oil. Place on a rimmed pan and cook for 20 minutes. The meat can be rested prior to giving it a high heat finish on the grill or in the oven. Resting the meat prior to the high heat finish means you can serve it right away as it comes off the grill. Rib Eye Steak .pdf Download PDF • 147KB WANT TO LEARN MORE?

- Baked Manicotti with Spinach, Ricotta, Tomato Beef Sauce
Because the manicotti tubes are only partially cooked this recipe needs a good amount of sauce that is not too thick. If using a prepared sauce it’s best to add a cup of stock to achieve the right consistency. Anchor 1 YOUR RECIPE FOR STEAM COOKING Baked Manicotti with Spinach, Ricotta, Tomato Beef Sauce Convection-steam mode Baked manicotti with melted cheese, perfectly cooked in a steam oven, ready to serve. A combination of heat and humidity is the perfect environment for baking casseroles. Not only does the steam prevent food from drying out it also ensures the ingredients are evenly heated and cooked through. Covering a casserole while baking ensures steam will build up under the cover helping to cook and evenly heat all the ingredients preventing them from drying out. Once the cover is removed the cheese or other topping can be added and the heat slightly increased to achieve a perfect finish. In a steam oven, casseroles can be baked uncovered in the combination convection steam mode at a moderate temperature. The mode can be changed to convection with no steam and the temperature increased slightly for the final phase of cooking in order to achieve the exact same result. This recipe has quite a few components so it’s important to plan out the various preparation steps. Because the manicotti tubes are only partially cooked this recipe needs a good amount of sauce that is not too thick. If using a prepared sauce it’s best to add a cup of stock to achieve the right consistency. PREPARATION Prepare the Sauce Sauté the onion over moderate heat until translucent. Stir in the garlic, mixed Italian seasoning and red chili flakes. Add the tomato paste and wine and cook for a few minutes. Add the tomatoes and stock, bring to a simmer and cook on medium low heat for 25 - 30 minutes. When cooled, puree and set aside. Prepare the Filling Sauté the onion over moderate heat until translucent, add the ground beef and brown all over. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted and season the mixture to taste, set aside to cool. Meanwhile combine the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan and fresh herbs and combine with the cooled meat mixture. Prepare the Bechamel Melt the butter in a small heavy saucepan over low heat, stir in the flour and cook for several minutes until the mixture begins to brown. Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly until the mixture is smooth and thickened, then remove from the heat. Stir in the grated nutmeg and season to taste. Parboil the Manicotti Pasta Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the manicotti and cook at a roiling boil for 7 minutes. Drain and run under cold water. Now everything is ready and as soon as you can handle the pasta it’s time to heat the oven and stuff the pasta. Heat the steam oven in the combination Convection Steam mode or 80% humidity (if your oven has that option) and use the default temperature setting for baking. Add a generous cup of the tomato sauce to the bottom of the pan to prevent the pasta from moving around too much. Stuff each pasta tube with a generous amount of filling. I used a piping bag without a tip but you could also use a Ziploc bag or a spoon. Having someone hold the pasta while you fill it is very helpful! Arrange the pasta in the prepared casserole and add enough of the sauce to cover the pasta, now add dollops of the bechamel sauce. Place the casserole in the steam oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the casserole from the oven, change the oven mode to Convection (with no added humidity) and increase the temperature by 25 - 30 degrees. Add the cheeses to the top of the casserole and return it to the oven Bake for another 10 - 12 minutes until the cheese has melted and is beginning to brown on the edges. INGREDIENTS Recipe ingredients. For the Sauce 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 tsp mixed Italian seasoning ¼ tsp dried red chili flakes ¼ cup dry white wine ⅓ cup tomato paste 1 28 oz can whole or crushed tomatoes 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock Salt and pepper to taste For the Filling 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped 1 lb. ground beef 1 lb. whole milk ricotta cheese 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese 2 cups spinach, coarsely chopped 1 cup chopped fresh basil and Italian parsley leaves Salt and freshly ground pepper For the Bechamel Sauce 2 tbsp unsalted butter 2 tbsp unbleached all purpose flour 2 cups whole milk ½ tsp freshly grated nutmeg Freshly ground pepper For the Manicotti Pasta 2 boxes of Manicotti 14 tubes per box I was able to stuff 18 tubes with the above quantity of filling For the Topping 1 ball fresh Mozzarella, torn or cut into 2” pieces ½ cup grated Parmesan Serves 8 Baked Manicotti with Spinach, Ricotta, Tomato Beef Sauce .pdf Download PDF • 69KB WANT TO LEARN MORE?

A recipe for a simple meal such as baked chicken, sweet potatoes, and broccoli may not be necessary, but an outline of the cooking plan to cook the entire meal in a steam oven will ensure great results. It is important to take into account the cooking temperatures and timing that work best for each food to avoid overcooking different foods. Here are the cooking steps: Begin cooking the chicken at 400 F (205 C) for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 F(180 C), add the sweet potatoes, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside to rest. Add the broccoli to the pan with the sweet potatoes and cook for 10 minutes. Once the chicken has rested, you can slice it. When the vegetables come out of the oven, they will be ready to serve. Everything will be cooked to perfection. Cooking a simple meal such as this in a combination of convection and steam really elevates the results. To add extra pizazz, marinate the chicken and add your favorite seasonings or spice mix to the vegetables. Tip: Marinating the chicken for a few hours or overnight or even giving it a dry rub in advance adds lots of flavor. Ideally, remove the chicken from the refrigerator at least ½ hours before cooking so that it comes to room temperature. INGREDIENTS 2 bone-in chicken breasts 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2" chunks 1 or two bunches of baby broccoli, trimmed and cut into 3" sections Ingredients Marinade 4 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil Dash chili oil 2 tbsp honey 3 cloves garlic, minced PREPARATION Combine the marinade ingredients in a glass container large enough to hold the chicken. Add the chicken, turn to coat, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight. Heat the oven in the combination Convection + Steam mode to 400 F. Spray a small rimmed baking sheet with some spray oil or line it with a piece of foil, shiny side down. Place the chicken on the tray. When the oven comes to room temperature, place the tray on the oven rack and set the timer for 10 minutes. When the timer elapses, reduce the temperature to 350 F. Toss the sweet potatoes in a light coating of olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of dried oregano, and spread them into the solid oven pan. Slide the pan into the oven and set the timer for 15 minutes. When the timer elapses, remove the chicken and set it aside to rest. Give the broccoli a light spritz of spray oil and add to the pan with the sweet potatoes. Set the timer for 10 minutes.
