Steam Cooking; Cleaning And Care - Kuhn Rikon DUROTHERM Mode D'emploi

Steam cooking

The perforated bowl is ideal for healthy, vitamin-retaining steaming (see DUROTHERM
accessories on pages 58 – 59). Place a meat stock in the DUROTHERM casserole.
Place the steamer on top of the pan, add the food to be cooked, put the lid on, and
steam according to instructions.
Serving
Immediately after cooking, place the DUROTHERM pan in the heat-retaining base for
serving at table. It will not damage even the most sensitive surface, because it does
not get hot.
Keeping food hot
Your DUROTHERM keeps food warm for up to two hours. Always put your DUROTHERM
on its heat-retaining base immediately after cooking, and keep the lid on.
Tip
Refer to the DUROTHERM Cooking Times (Art. 40533) and the appropriate re cipes on

CLEANING AND CARE

– For normal washing, a regular liquid detergent is perfectly adequate.
– Your DUROTHERM is dishwasher suitable, including the lid and heat-retaining base,
but its plastic parts will stay shinier if you wash it by hand.
– Overheating your DUROTHERM may cause burnt-in dirt that is hard to remove.
Never try to scrape it off with a knife, steel wool, copper cloth or anything else
abrasive. The best way to avoid scratches is to soften the dirt by soaking and
cleaning with SWISS CLEANER or a grill-cleaner.
– If the water is hard in your area, overheating your DUROTHERM can cause lime
deposits. This is perfectly natural, and the deposits can be removed with a few
drops of vinegar or lemon juice.
– We recommend SWISS CLEANER for removing heavy lime deposits or other
stains. This is a special cleaning agent for stainless steel, brass, copper, nickel and
ceramic hotplates (see DUROTHERM accessories on pages 58 – 59).
– SWISS CLEANER is also ideal for removing discolouration on the outside of your
DUROTHERM if the gas flame or induction cooking field was too high.
