Various methods of cooking are possible with a combi steamer; these include:

—steaming;

—combi steaming;

—hot air;

—regeneration;

—low-temperature cooking;

—delta-T cooking.

In addition, further vendor-specific types of cooking and actions are possible in a cooking process:

—sous-vide cooking;

—keeping warm;

—smoking;

—steaming;

—rest time;

—info display.

A cooking program may consist of one or more cooking steps. Each cooking step may consist of a cooking method or one of the other actions.

Figure 12 shows an overview of the object types for the Combi Steamer device class.
