  • How to Cook Rack of Lamb in a Steam Oven

    I used a domestic (USA) rack of lamb that weighed 2 ⅓ lbs. The chops were meaty, and it took about 40 minutes for the meat to reach an internal temperature of 125 F. After the first cooking phase is complete, remove the lamb from the oven to let it rest and change the oven mode to Convection 450 F to finish the cooking. Anchor 1 YOUR RECIPE FOR STEAM COOKING How to Cook Rack of Lamb in a Steam Oven Steam mode and Convection Mode Perfectly steam-roasted lamb, showcasing tender, juicy meat with a flavorful herb crust, accompanied by a herb sauce. Nothing beats roasting a lamb rack in a steam oven for fabulous flavor and texture. Follow these proven tips for the best results. Roasting an expensive cut of meat can be intimidating, but there is a foolproof technique to ensure perfection. Even though this lean, tender roast has a good amount of fat, if it is cooked at too high a temperature, the edges of the meat will overcook and dry out. The solution? Cook the lamb at a low temperature and finish it with high heat. Suppose your steam oven features a low-temperature cooking mode, which is ideal for slow cooking. If your oven doesn't have that feature, use the combination Convection+Steam mode. The key is to keep the temperature below 200 F. Because the cooking will be finished with high heat, it is essential to cook the meat to a lower internal temperature than the desired finished temperature as the internal temperature will rise during the final high heat phase of the cooking. For this recipe, I used a domestic (USA) rack of lamb that weighed 2 ⅓ lbs. The chops were meaty, and it took about 40 minutes for the meat to reach an internal temperature of 125 F. After the first cooking phase is complete, remove the lamb from the oven to let it rest and change the oven mode to Convection 450 F to finish the cooking. The second cooking phase will take approximately 10 minutes. INGREDIENTS 1 rack of lamb approx 2 lbs (there are 8 chops per rack, so adjust the quantity as needed) 3 cloves garlic, finely minced 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely minced 1 tbsp fresh parsley leaves, finely minced 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp kosher salt PREPARATION Combine the herbs, salt, and olive oil. Lightly score the fat, taking care not to cut into the meat, and spread the mixture evenly over the surface. Refrigerate for a few hours or overnight. Heat the steam oven in the low-temperature cooking mode or Combination Convection Steam mode to 200 F. Low-temperature roasting is the way to go; try Prime Rib, cooked in the steam oven! Place the roast on a shallow-rimmed baking sheet and slide it into the oven. If your oven has a meat probe, insert it and program the internal temperature to 120 - 125 F, depending on your preference. If your oven doesn’t have a probe, set the timer for 30 (for less meaty chops) to 40 minutes and check the internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer to determine the degree of doneness. Remove the roast from the oven and set aside to rest for at least 10 minutes. Change the oven mode to Convection 450 F, and when heated, cook the lamb for approximately 10 minutes until the crust is golden. Allow the lamb to rest for a few minutes before carving.

  • How to Slow Cook Baby Back Ribs in the Steam Oven

    Steam ovens are ideal tools for slow cooking ribs for grilling Baby Back Ribs. Give the ribs a dry rub a day in advance. Place them in a roasting pan with a little water, and cook for approx. 2 hours in a slow oven Anchor 1 YOUR RECIPE FOR STEAM COOKING How to Slow Cook Baby Back Ribs in the Steam Oven Steam Braising Steam oven infused Baby Back Ribs served with corn on the cob, showcasing tender, flavorful perfection. Steam ovens are ideal tools for slow cooking ribs for grilling. The method for cooking ribs is to give the ribs a dry rub a day in advance then to place them in a roasting pan with a little water, cover them tightly with foil and cook them for approx 2 hours in a slow oven. This method creates steam in the pan tenderizing the meat in preparation for the final high heat finish on the grill or in the oven. The Steam Oven may seem small to cook several racks of ribs at one time but you can cut them in half if needed and since you don’t have to cover the pan you can just pile them on top of each other. I find using the Combination Convection Steam Mode set to 250 degrees yields the best result, if the temperature is too high the meat gets a little tough and the bones pop right out. Whether you use a prepared dry rub and BBQ sauce or create your own rub and sauce ribs cooked in the Steam Oven are a winner. INGREDIENTS 2 - racks baby back pork ribs Dry rub of your choice PREPARATION Preheat the Steam Oven in the Combination Convection Steam Mode 250 degrees. Remove the membrane on the back of the ribs with the point of a small sharp knife and coat the ribs generously with the dry rub (This can be a done a day in advance for added flavor). Cut the racks in half if necessary and place in the solid pan or on a rimmed baking sheet. Check the ribs after 2 hours to see if they are tender or if they need another 30 minutes. At this point the ribs can be glazed with the BBQ sauce and finished on the grill or in the Convection oven using the Convection Bake or Convection Roast Mode 425 degrees.

  • Vanilla Creme Brulee

    With just eggs, sugar, cream and vanilla you can prepare custard in the steam oven. The maximum temperature should be 220°F and 50 steam time Anchor 1 YOUR RECIPE FOR STEAM COOKING Vanilla Creme Brulee Steaming Easy custards, no water bath needed, beautifully caramelized and ready to enjoy. A rich smooth custard topped with fresh fruit or caramelized sugar is a wonderful indulgent treat and while this 5 ingredient recipe from NYT Cooking is simple to prepare, cooking it is made even easier by using the Steam Oven as no water bath is needed. 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. 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 195°F (90.5C) 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.

  • Poached Eggs with Broccolini and Cheddar

    To poach eggs with broccolini and cheddar in a steam oven, all you have to do is select the Steam mode, crack the egg into a lightly greased oven safe ramekin and cook it for 5 - 6 minutes. Anchor 1 YOUR RECIPE FOR STEAM COOKING Poached Eggs with Broccolini and Cheddar Steam mode Steamed eggs and toast prepared using a steam oven for a wholesome breakfast. Steam ovens are popular because of the superior results that can be achieved when cooking with steam, however there are also some convenience aspects to cooking with a steam oven, for example poaching eggs. To poach eggs in a steam oven, all you have to do is select the Steam mode, crack the egg into a lightly greased oven safe ramekin and cook it for 5 - 6 minutes. The timing will depend on how cold and how large the egg is. For those of you living at a higher elevations you will need to add another minute or two to the cooking time. Poached eggs on their own are wonderful; however, they can be enhanced by including some steamed or sauteed vegetables and cheese. If you are using previously cooked vegetables cold from the refrigerator it is best to put the vegetables in the ramekin and heat them in the steam oven for 3 - 4 minutes before adding the cheese and egg to ensure they will be heated through. The first time I made poached eggs this way there were some leftovers. I chilled them overnight and reheated them in the steam oven the next day and they were just as delicious as when freshly cooked. PREPARATION Heat the steam oven in the Steam mode to 212 F/100 C Lightly oil 4 oven safe ramekins with some avocado spray oil or butter. Combine the cooked broccolini with the shallot and red pepper flakes and season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper. If the vegetables are cold then place the ramekins in the oven for 3 - 4 minutes to allow the vegetables to heat through otherwise continue as directed. Divide the cheese between the ramekins and crack an egg into each ramekin. Place the ramekins in the oven and cook for approximately 5.30 minutes or longer if you prefer a harder yolk.

  • Braised Turkey with Butternut Squash, Chickpeas and Tomatoes

    Sear the turkey thighs at high temperature in the Steam Oven while you assemble the butternut squash, chickpeas and tomatoes, then change the Mode and temperature and slow-cook the braise Anchor 1 YOUR RECIPE FOR STEAM COOKING Braised Turkey with Butternut Squash, Chickpeas and Tomatoes Steam Braising A deliciously vibrant braised meat dish, highlighting tender cuts infused with rich flavors, emerges perfectly cooked from the steam oven. This Steam-Braising recipe has a wonderful combination of vegetables and dried fruit but the key is the fresh herb mixture that is stirred in at the end. The ingredients for the braise go together very quickly, but it takes some patience to prep the garnish. Having some prepped parsley and cilantro on hand is always useful so it’s worth the effort. It’s hard to find turkey year round so I try to keep some in the freezer as I enjoy this dish year round substituting carrots when butternut squash is unavailable. In the traditional recipe the seasoned turkey thighs are seared on the cooktop before being placed over the vegetables and slowly cooked for 1 ½ hours. You can also sear the turkey thighs at high temperature in the Steam Oven while you assemble the other ingredients, then change the Mode and temperature and slow-cook the braise. Easy and delicious. INGREDIENTS Turkey: 2 - small turkey thighs or 1 large 1 - tablespoon vegetable oil 1 - teaspoon Old Bay seasoning 1 - teaspoon Kosher salt ¼ - teaspoon garlic powder ¼ - teaspoon ground Allspice Ground pepper to taste Vegetables & Dried Fruit 1 - large red or yellow onion, cut into 1” dice 2 - cups butternut squash, cut into 2” cubes (substitute carrots if you prefer) 1 - large sweet potato or yam, peeled and cut into 2” cubes 1 - 28oz can, plum tomatoes, chopped 1 - can Garbanzo beans, drained ½ - cup dried apricots cut in half ½ - cup golden raisins Place the seared turkey pieces on top of the vegetables and cook in the Convection Steam Mode 300 - 325 degrees for 1 ½ hours until the meat is very fork tender. Now you can prep the garnish. Garnish: ½ - cup Italian parsley leaves chopped ½ - cup cilantro leaves chopped 1 - lemon zest and juice 1 - tablespoon fruity olive oil Sprinkle of sea salt PREPARATION Preheat the Steam Oven in the Convection Mode 400 degrees (no steam). Combine the seasoning and oil in a small bowl and rub into the turkey thighs, cook on a rimmed baking sheet for 15 minutes or so until the fat has rendered and is sizzling. Meanwhile combine the remaining ingredients in a large oven casserole. Final Steps Combine the ingredients in a small bowl with a dash of chili flakes if you like a little spice. Remove the casserole from the oven and place the turkey on a plate to cool. When cooled enough to handle, slice or shred and stir back into the casserole with some of the garnish and sprinkle more garnish over the top before serving. WANT TO LEARN MORE?

  • Steamed Broccoli Couscous Salad with Almonds and Cranberries

    Steam oven broccoli couscous salad with onions, olive oil, apple vinegar, toasted almonds, cranberries, and couscous. Anchor 1 YOUR RECIPE FOR STEAM COOKING Steamed Broccoli Couscous Salad with Almonds and Cranberries Steam Mode Steamed Broccoli Couscous Salad with cranberries, almonds, and red onion, served with fresh bread, highlighting healthy steam oven cooking. There are many benefits to cooking in a Steam oven, but one of the best is the ability to cook multiple foods simultaneously instead of juggling various saucepans. Being able to place cooking containers in the oven and monitor the cooking with a timer means there will be no boil-overs on the stove. So you can more easily focus on preparing the other ingredients for the dish so that everything is ready simultaneously. When you remove the couscous from the steam oven, set it aside to cool for a few minutes, then gently fluff it with a fork to avoid mashing the grains. If your oven doesn’t have small pans to cook the ½ cup of couscous, you can use a small Pyrex or other ovenproof casserole dish. INGREDIENTS ½ cup whole wheat couscous (I used the Trader Joe’s brand) ½ cup water 2 large broccoli crowns, cut into florets, and some tender slices of the stem only ½ red onion, minced ½ cup dried cranberries ½ cup toasted almonds (toasted in regular Bake mode 350 for 10 minutes) ½ cup toasted pepitas (toasted with the almonds) Salad ingredients Dressing 3 tbsp olive oil 3 tbsp mayonnaise 1 tbsp Dijon mustard 2 tbsp apple cider or golden balsamic vinegar PREPARATION Heat the steam oven in the steam mode at 212 F (100 C) degrees. Place the couscous in a small solid pan and add ½ cup of water and a pinch of kosher salt. Place the broccoli florets and stems in the perforated pan. Slide the pans into the oven and set the timer for 6 minutes. Remove the broccoli and set it aside to cool before adding to the remaining salad ingredients. Leave the couscous in the oven for another 6 - 8 minutes until all the water has been absorbed. Remove the couscous from the oven and set it aside to cool before coming with the remaining ingredients. Combine the remaining ingredients in a large shallow bowl and prepare the dressing. Combine the dressing ingredients in a glass measuring cup, mix well, and add a good pinch of sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

  • Bake Classic Petite Baguettes Like a Pro

    In this recipe the bread dough is proofed using the proof mode in the steam oven then baked in the combination Convection Steam mode. Bake in the convection-steam mode at 450°F. Anchor 1 YOUR RECIPE FOR STEAM COOKING Bake Classic Petite Baguettes Like a Pro Convection Steam Mode; Proofing Mode Crusty baguettes fresh out of the oven, showcasing the perfect steam-baking technique for a golden, airy loaf. Baking delicious crusty breads is a remarkably rewarding experience, and one that is made easier when you can do both the proofing and baking in your steam oven. In this recipe the bread dough is proofed using the proof mode in the steam oven then baked in the combination Convection Steam mode. When proofing in a convection or steam oven , the bowl does not have to be covered. Keep an eye on the timing to avoid over proofing the dough until you have a sense of how dough’s respond in your oven. When the formed loaves are removed from the oven after the second proofing, the oven mode is changed and the temperature increased. Steam ovens heat fairly quickly, so once you have scored the loaves place the pan back into the oven while it is heating to the baking temperature. These baguettes can be baked in a perforated form designed for baking baguettes or directly on a rimmed baking tray lined with parchment paper. Since the steam will be generated by the oven it is not necessary to use the cast iron pan pan method for baking in a steam oven. INGREDIENTS ¼ cup warm water 1 ½ tsp active dry yeast ¼ tsp granulated sugar 16 oz bread flour 2 tsp kosher salt 1 cup cool water PREPARATION Place the warm water in a small bowl and sprinkle the yeast and sugar over the water. Place the bowl in the steam oven and let it rest for 10 minutes or so until it is foamy. Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl, make a well in the center and stir in the foamy yeast mixture with a fork. Dribble some of the cool water into the dough as you are stirring with the fork a little at a time to form a ragged dough (You may not need all the water.) Cover the bowl with a flour sack towel and set it aside to rest for 30 minutes. Select the Proof mode in the steam oven. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently press it into a rectangle. Fold the rectangle into thirds, turn it 90 degrees and repeat the process. Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl and place it, uncovered into the steam oven. Proof for 1 - 1 ½ hours or until doubled in size. Learn more about baking bread in the steam oven Discover steam baking with these crusty, golden-brown loaves, inviting you to explore a new dimension of deliciousness. Remove the bowl from the oven and turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rectangle and roll the rectangle up tightly lengthwise. Pinch the seam together with your fingers and shape each roll into a 15” long loaf, about 1 ½ “ inches wide, tapering the ends slightly to form a narrow point. Place the loaves seam side down into the lightly greased baguette baking pan and slide the pan into the oven. Proof the formed loaves for 1 - 1 ½ hours or until doubled in size. Remove the pan from the oven and heat the oven in the combination Convection Steam mode to 450 degrees. If your oven has variable steam settings choose 30% or the mode recommended by the oven manufacturer. Lightly dust the loaves with a sprinkle of flour and score each loaf with a lame or very sharp knife with three diagonal strokes. Slide the pan back into the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped on the bottom.

  • Hot Corned Beef Sandwich

    Hot, juicy corned beef sandwiches with melted Swiss cheese and coleslaw mixed with Russian dressing are a flavor and texture sensation. Anchor 1 YOUR RECIPE FOR STEAM COOKING Hot Corned Beef Sandwich Steam and Broil Mode Hearty corned beef sandwich with coleslaw on sourdough bread. Hot, juicy corned beef sandwiches with melted Swiss cheese and coleslaw mixed with Russian dressing are a flavor and texture sensation. Yes, you can buy deli meat, but you can also cook corned beef in your steam oven and set aside some meat for sandwiches. Best of all, you can use your steam oven to heat the meat to a juicy consistency. If your steam oven has a Broil element, you can first heat the sliced corned beef in some of the cooking liquid using the Steam mode, then change the oven mode to the Broil mode using a moderate temperature to finish the sandwich. Once assembled, pop the sandwich back in the oven to melt the cheese. To assemble the sandwich, first ensure you have some amazing fresh rye bread on hand and your preferred filling and mustard, and then slice the corned beef to your preferred thickness. I used thinly sliced (packaged coleslaw) homemade Russian dressing and Havarti cheese for the filling. Sauerkraut is another popular filling with corned beef, or you can add pickles if you prefer. INGREDIENTS 6 oz sliced corned beef brisket, heated in the cooking liquid 4 slices fresh rustic Rye or Jewish Rye bread Dijon or yellow mustard 1 cup coleslaw mixed with Russian dressing 4 slices Havarti cheese Corned beef with potatoes, cabbage, and carrots in a pot. Russian Dressing ¼ cup avocado mayonnaise 2 tbsp ketchup 1 tbsp minced shallot 1 tsp prepared horseradish 1 tbsp sweet pickle relish PREPARATION Heat the steam oven in the Steam mode at 212 F/100 C. Heat the sliced brisket in a little of the cooking liquid until piping hot. Remove it from the oven and change the setting to Broil, or heat a toaster oven in the Broil mode. Assemble the sandwiches: First, smear the mustard over the bread slices. Add some corned beef to both slices and top with a slice of cheese. Place the sandwiches in the oven until the cheese begins to melt, then remove them from the oven. Add the coleslaw to one slice of bread and top with the other. Gently press down on the sandwich to slice it in half. Repeat for the 2nd sandwich. Makes 2 sandwiches WANT TO LEARN MORE? Click Here LOOKING FOR SOMETHING ELSE?

  • Steamed Couscous Broccoli Salad with Almonds

    Quick cooking grains such as couscous and bulgur can be cooked in the steam oven using the Steam-mode. Vegetables such as broccoli can be steamed at the same time. Anchor 1 YOUR RECIPE FOR STEAM COOKING Steamed Couscous Broccoli Salad with Almonds Steaming A vibrant broccoli couscous salad with steamed veggies, nuts, and dried cranberries, ideal for a healthy, flavorful meal. Learning how to make your Steam oven work for you makes food preparation much more effortless and certainly less stressful when cooking multiple foods simultaneously. In this video, I demonstrate how to prepare an Orzo pasta salad at the same time as Broccoli, and couscous for a delicious salad. Quick cooking grains such as couscous and bulgur can be cooked by pouring boiling water over them, covering the pan, and leaving the grain to absorb the water or you can cook them in the steam oven using the Steam-mode. Of course, the benefit of using your steam oven is that you can cook some vegetables at the same time for an easy delicious salad or side dish. If your oven doesn’t have small-sized pans to cook the ½ cup of couscous, use a small Pyrex or other ovenproof casserole dishes. INGREDIENTS ½ cup whole wheat couscous (I used the Trader Joe’s brand) ½ cup water 2 large broccoli crowns, florets, and some tender slices of the stem only ½ red onion, minced ½ cup dried cranberries ½ cup toasted almonds (toasted in regular Bake mode 350 for 10 minutes) ½ cup toasted pepitas (toasted with the almonds) Dressing 3 tbsp olive oil 3 tbsp mayonnaise 1 tbsp Dijon mustard 2 tbsp apple cider or golden balsamic vinegar PREPARATION Heat the steam oven in the steam mode at 212 degrees. Place the couscous in a small solid pan and add ½ cup of water and a pinch of kosher salt. Place the broccoli florets and stems in the perforated pan. Slide the pans into the oven and set the timer for 6 minutes. Remove the broccoli and set it aside to cool before adding to the remaining salad ingredients. Leave the couscous in the oven for another 6 - 8 minutes until all the water has been absorbed. Combine the remaining ingredients in a large shallow bowl and prepare the dressing. Combine the dressing ingredients in a glass measuring cup, mix well and add a good pinch of sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

  • Braised Chicken with Lemon and Cilantro

    This delicious Indian recipe for Braised Chicken with Lemon and cilantro is based on a recipe from a Madhur Jaffrey cookbook, and her recipes are all amazing Anchor 1 YOUR RECIPE FOR STEAM COOKING Braised Chicken with Lemon and Cilantro Convection Steam Braising chicken in the steam oven requires no lid and the browned chicken skin remains crisp and golden. Braising is typically done in a heavy covered pan in the oven so that the food cooks at an even temperature without the risk of evaporating the liquid. This gentle cooking method ensures the meat remains tender and develops amazing flavor as it slowly cooks in the sauce. However, one downside of braising chicken in a covered pan is that the golden crisp chicken skin becomes rubbery when covered. You can rectify this by removing the lid and finishing the cooking with a touch of high heat using the boil mode, or you can cook the dish uncovered in the Steam oven. This delicious Indian recipe for Braised Chicken with Lemon and cilantro is based on a recipe from a Madhur Jaffrey cookbook, and her recipes are all amazing. Removing the cilantro leaves is the only labor-intensive part of this dish, but it’s definitely worth the effort—unless, of course, you are not a lover of cilantro. INGREDIENTS 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or a combination of legs and thighs 3 tbsp vegetable oil 1 “ fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped 1 bunch fresh cilantro leaves, washed and dried 1 jalapeno, seeds removed, finely chopped (use ½ if you prefer less heat) ¼ tsp ground cayenne pepper 2 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp ground coriander ½ tsp ground turmeric 1 tsp salt ⅔ cup water 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice PREPARATION Heat the Steam oven in the Combination Convection Steam Mode to 350 F, or if your oven has variable humidity options, use 60% + 340 F. Heat a wide, heavy pan over medium heat. Add the oil when heated, and add the chicken pieces skin side down in a single layer without crowding them. When the chicken is golden and releases easily from the pan, turn the pieces and cook for a few minutes on the other side. Reduce the heat, remove the browned chicken pieces, and set them on a rimmed baking pan. Add the ginger and garlic to the pan and cook over moderate heat for a few minutes, taking care not to let the garlic get brown or burn. Stir in the cilantro, jalapeno, cayenne, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and salt, and cook for a few minutes to combine. Add the chicken pieces to the pan together with any accumulated juices, water, and lemon juice. Place the pan in the oven and cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes. Note: This dish can be prepared in a Convection mode as long as the pan is covered with a tight-fitting lid. Cover the chicken for 15 minutes, remove the lids, change the mode to Broil 450 F or High, and cook for 5 - 7 minutes, or until the chicken skin has crisped.
