2.
Always keep the lid on the cooker during the entire steaming process. Opening
the lid causes a loss of heat and steam and will slow down your cooking time. If
you find it necessary to open the lid, you may want to add a small amount of
water to help restore the cooking time.
3.
To adjust steaming times, add or subtract water amount.
4.
Altitude, humidity and outside temperature will affect cooking times.
The steaming times on the Fresh Vegetable Steaming Chart are approximate.
Please monitor your food while steaming and adjust cooking time according to your
preference.
SOUPS AND STEWS
A hearty bowl of soup or stew is always welcome at any table. Be creative and use
various left over meats and vegetables with your favorite stock and create your own
unique recipes. When preparing soup or stew, try to allow extra time for it to
“simmer”. This will allow flavors to blend and meat to be tendered.
HELPFUL HINTS
1.
To thicken your stew, mix ¼ cup flour with enough water to form a thin paste.
Gradually add it to the stew, stirring until it thickens.
2.
If using fresh parsley or herbs in your recipe, add them in the last few minutes of
cooking to preserve flavor.
3.
Save any leftovers for the next day. The flavors increase overnight in your
refrigerator.
4.
Canned stewed tomatoes or water with bouillon seasoning and spices added
make great stock starters for soups and stews.
