Useful hints
– To ensure proper steam circulation, make
sure that the pieces of food are evenly
spaced and not placed too close to each
other inside the steaming top.
– Th e steaming time largely depends on
various factors such as size, quality,
consistency and nature of the food to be
cooked, as well as the spacing between the
pieces.
– Generally, best results are achieved when
the pieces are similar in size. However,

should it be necessary to steam pieces of
diff erent sizes, the larger pieces should be
placed in the lower insert.
– If diff erent types of food are to be placed
in the steaming tops, ensure fi rst that their
fl avours are compatible.
– In addition, when steaming diff erent types
of food with diff erent cooking times, place
those items with the longest cooking time
in the lower steaming top. To ensure that
all food will be ready at the same time, we
recommend the following method: begin
with steaming the larger items (i.e. those
items that are placed in the lower insert)
fi rst, until their remaining cooking time
equals the cooking time of the food yet
to be cooked; now add the other steaming
top(s) to the assembly.
– When steaming larger food quantities,
carefully remove the lid halfway through
the steaming process, turn over the food
an put the lid back on. Caution: beware
of escaping steam. Th ere is a danger of
scalding.
– Th e juice collected in the juice collection
tray during the steaming process can be
used for sauces etc.
