STEAMING FOOD
The steaming method is one of the easiest, most healthful and convenient methods
of cooking. It allows you to preserve more flavor, texture, vitamins and nutrients than
other cooking methods do.
How to steam food
1.
Measure the desired amount of water into the inner pot with the measuring cup
provided.
2.
Place food in the steam tray.
3.
Press switch down to COOK. When the steaming time is completed, your
cooker will automatically switch to WARM. We recommend not keeping food in
the cooker on WARM for longer than 5-10 minutes to avoid over cooking.

NOTE: We recommend adding an additional ¼ to ½ cup of water to measurements for
frozen vegetables. The amount of water in chart is for your reference only. Please slightly
adjust the water amount when steaming as needed.
HELP HINTS
1.
Since most vegetables only absorb a small amount of water while steaming, it is
not necessary to change the amount of water for steaming different quantities.
