GUIDE FOR STEAMING VEGETABLES, POULTRY AND SEAFOOD
Put water into the cooking pot to the STEAM line. Arrange foods in a single layer on the
steaming tray. Vegetables should be cut in similar sizes as indicated. Cooking times are
approximate and will yield cooked, but crisp/tender vegetables. Add more time for more
tender/softer vegetables or cut back on time for crispier vegetables to taste.
Foods must be removed immediately after steaming to prevent overcooking. If cooking
vegetables over rice, use chart to determine approximately when to add steaming tray to
rice cooker.
