For Steam Convection and Steam Cooking
Density Food density will affect the amount of cooking
time. Cut the food into thinner parts, if possible,
and arrange in single layer.
Quantity The cooking time must be increased as the
amount increases.
Size Small foods and small pieces cook faster than
large ones, as heat can penetrate from all sides to
the center. For even cooking make all the pieces
the same size.
Shape Foods which are irregular in shape, such as
chicken breasts or drumsticks, may take longer to
cook in the thicker parts. Check that these parts
are cooked thoroughly before serving.
Temperature The initial temperature of food affects the cooking
of food time. Chilled foods will take longer to cook than
foods at room temperature. The temperature of
the container is not the actual temperature of the
food or drink.
Seasoning Seasoning or flavoring are best added after cook-
and flavor- ing. If added as marinades or rubs, the taste may
ing become less pronounced when cooking with
steam. Add seasoning or flavoring again after
cooking, if necessary.
