Kenmore
Exclusive
Steamer
Feature
Your grill
includes
the new and innovative
Steamer
feature
from
Kenmore.
To set up the steamer,
follow
the assembly
instructions
in the Use and Care Guide.
Cooking
with steam
is easy, fast, and it helps
keeps
in
the natural
flavors
of the food.
Steaming
also helps
food
retain
more
of the natural
nutrition
sometimes
cooked
off in boiling.
You can steam
almost
any type
of food.
Vegetables,
Chicken,
Fish, and Seafood
work
great.
The only food
to avoid
is beef.
Beef will
dry up
when steamed.
Once
you have the steamer
set up, itls just like using
one in your
kitchen.
To steam
the foods,
cut them
into
uniform
pieces.
This will
ensure
that
the food
is cooked
evenly.
Place them
on the steamer
basket
on a single
layer
with
slight
spacing
between
each
piece.
The
food
pieces
should
not be touching,
ensuring
that
each
piece
is steamed
evenly.
Some hints for maximizing
your
steaming
experience:
o Make
sure the water
is below
the basket.
If the water
is in contact
with the food,
you will end up boiling
it.
Try to limit
the number
of times
you open the lid to
check
the food.
This will allow
all of the steam
to
escape
and extend
your
cooking
time.
During
use you should
see steam
escaping
from
the
lid.
Monitor
the holes in the back
of the lid to detect
the presence
of escaping
steam.
If you do not see
steam
escaping,
check
to make
sure your
burner
is
on high and that
you have water
in the tray.
For most cooking
you will
not need to add
more
water
during
the cooking
process,
but if you do, pour
it through
the basket
in a corner
away
from
the
food.
Don_t be afraid
to use spices and
rubs on the food.
They will not get washed
or cooked
off during
the
steaming
process.
For a little
extra
flavor,
dilute
a
small
amount
of BBQ sauce
or marinade
in the water
before
you begin
the steaming
process.
