Advantages of assisted steam
cooking
The assisted steaming cooking system cooks
any type of food much smoother and faster and
finds its main applications for:
• Braising and stewing
•Cooking sauces
• Cooking au gratin
•Roasting
• Low temperature cooking
• Regenerating
• Multi-mode cooking
Variations in temperature and humidity levels
allow the wished gastronomic result to be
achieved.
The addition of steam allows the use of less fat in
favour of a healthier and more genuine cuisine.
It also minimizes the loss of weight and volume
in food while cooking.
Assisted steam cooking is particularly suitable
for cooking meat: in addition to making it very
soft, it maintains it bright and makes it more
succulent.
Also recommended for baking leavened and
bread dough. The humidity in fact lets the dough
grow and develop while cooking before
creating the outer crust. The result is a lighter and
more digestible mixture, recognizable by thicker
