Place meatballs on the large perforated stainless steel tray lined with baking paper. In a 4L capacity stainless steel bowl or tray, add the chicken stock, white pepper and lemongrass. Place both the meatballs and stock mixture in the Neff FullSteam oven, select FullSteam 100°C and cook for 10 minutes.
