COOKING CHART
Helpful Tips:
• Times are based on a cold start and using cold tap water.
• Use foods directly from where they are stored, for example, refrigerator or freezer.
• Use inverted lid to hold hot steaming basket.
• Stir vegetables half way through cooking cycle.
• Times are to be used as a guide; increase or decrease time according to personal
preference.
• Solid foods such as chicken, fish steaks and fillets should be placed in a single layer.
