FLAVOR SCENTER TIPS
Add fresh or dried herbs to the Flavor Scenter Screen to spice up healthy foods. Thyme, cilantro,
basil, dill, curry, and tarragon are just a few herbs and spices along with garlic, caraway, or
horseradish that enhance flavor with no need to add salt. When using the Flavor Scenter Screen:
I Try the suggested flavoring in the Steaming Guide or use your favorite herbs.
I Flavor suggestions are for 1/2 to 3 teaspoons of dried herbs or spices. If using fresh herbs, chop
leaves and triple the amount.
I To prevent small herbs or ground spices from falling through the Flavor Scenter Screen, rinse or
wet the screen before adding seasonings.
BOWL DIVIDER TIPS
• Always place the Divider in the Steaming Bowl before you start steaming, even if
empty and food is to be added later.
• If steaming foods with different water levels, use the higher level.
• Place larger amounts of food (3 cups or less) in the Bowl and smaller amounts (2 cups or
less) in the Divider.
• Foods can be started at the same time or added to the Divider later (see "Steaming Guide".)
• Check doness often. Cooking times may be different from when the Divider is not used.
• If food in the Divider is done first, use a pot holder, open the Cover away from you to
avoid escaping steam, and remove the Divider.
