Infuse with water and add various seasonal vegetables (e.g. coarsely chopped white

short pressure cooking time, we recommend setting a kitchen timer to the required
time. The cooking time can also be programmed as described above.

shaft is available from Steba. (MX 21 – product number 28.05.00).
Meat
The smaller the pieces of meat, the quicker they will cook, and the meat will still re-
main moist. The timing is based on 500g of food at room temperature. Otherwise the
timing will differ slightly. It is better to undercook than overcook, since the food can
always be cooked for a little longer.
∙ Boiled meat:
Prepare meat at bottom of pot with at least ½ litre of water.
∙ Steamed meat:
Cook over at least ½ litre of water in the perforated insert. Season the broth after
cooking and thicken with butter and cornflour, and put the meat into it.
∙ Pot roast:
Roast in the pot in hot fat, add liquid and cook until ready.
∙ Oil: use vegetable oil for roasting (e.g. rapeseed oil).
