Helpful
Hints:
Smaller foods may be
placed on a heat-proof
dish and then placed
onto the steam tray.
Parchment paper or
aluminum foil may be
used as well. Place
the paper/foil in the
center of the steam tray
and ensure it does not
create a seal along the
bottom of the steam
tray. For best results,
it is recommended to
puncture small holes in
the paper/foil.
