▯
You can either steam fish fillets or you can cook
them in their stock in the unperforated cooking
insert. In comparison with steaming, preparing
them in their stock takes about 2 - 5 minutes
more, depending on the quantity and initial
temperature of the stock.
▯
Preferably use the perforated cooking insert for
steaming. You can grease it lightly if fish should
stick to it too easily.
▯
Do not salt steamed fish until after cooking it. In
this way, less water is extracted from the fish.
