Select Steam
Select Steam has 3 settings: High Steam, Low Steam and Keep
Warm.
Select Steam Settings
High Steam
The High Steam setting gives best results to vegetables, shellfish
and other foods that benefit from a very moist environment with
minimal browning
By setting the temperature at 250°F (120°C), the lowest setting
allowed, you can achieve similar results to steaming on the
cooktop.
■ Use the broiler pan and grid or a low-sided baking dish for
best results.
■ Preheating is not recommended.
■ Cooks cheese-topped casseroles such as lasagna without
over-browning the cheese topping.
■ For best results, do not use the Select Steam settings for
green beans, artichokes and beets.
Low Steam
The Low Steam setting gives best results to casseroles, roasted
vegetables or other foods that you want to cook with more
browning, but keep moist.
■ Use a low-sided baking dish for best results.
■ Preheating is not recommended.
Keep Warm
The Keep Warm function allows hot cooked food to stay warm
before serving without drying them out.
For more information see the “Keep Warm” section.
