preference. As you become familiar with the appliance, adjust the cooking time to your
preference.
3.
A single layer of food steams faster than multi layers. Therefore, cooking time for large
quantity of food will be longer.
4.
For best results, prepare the food in thinner pieces. If the food size varies significantly and
layering is required, place smaller pieces in a higher steam compartment.
5.
Do not crowd food unnecessarily. Arrange the food with space to assist the steam flow.
6.
When cooking large quantities of food, remove the lid about halfway through, stir the food
using a long handled utensil, do not put your hand into the steam compartment.
7.
Do not add salt and seasoning to the steam compartment or reserv oir. These minerals will
cause scaling and damage the heating element.
8.
Save liquid in drip tray for making soup, sauces, and gravies.
9.
Never steam frozen meat, poultry or seafood direct from the freezer. Always defrost
completely first .
10. All the figures in the'steaming Guide' are referring to cold water in the reservoir.
11. The food-rice-soup container is an ideal container for fruit, vegetables, puddings, quick
snacks, etc.
12. Using three steaming bowls :
a.
Always place the largest pieces of food with the longest cooking time in the lower Steam
Compartment.
b.
You may place different food in the upper and lower Steam Compartments, but
remember there will be dripping from the upper Steam Compartment due to
condensation.
c.
When steaming meat or poultry and vegetables, always place the meat or poultry in the
bottom compartment so that juices from raw or partially cooked meat cannot drip onto
other foods.
d.
Steaming time for food in the upper container is slightly longer so allow an extra five
minutes.
e.
If food with different cooking times are to be steamed, start the food with the longest
cooking time in the lower compartment. When the additional time has elapsed, carefully
remove the lid with oven gloves and add the food that requires less time to cook to the
upper compartment, then replace lid and continue steaming.
