QUICK TIPS
• Steaming times stated in the recipe booklet
are to be used as a guide;
- Times may vary depending on the quantity,
consistency of sizes of pieces, temperature,
freshness of foods, spacing/placement of
food on the steaming tray, and personal
preference/taste
• Meat, poultry and seafood should always be
thawed completely before steaming.
• Never add seasonings, broth or herbs to the
water reservoir.
• No liquids other than water should be used in
the water reservoir.
• Some foods, such as grains and rice, can be
steamed in ovenproof dishes and covered with
aluminium foil.
• For meats and chicken, check the internal
temperature. The recommended temperature
for chicken breast is 74°C. The recommended
temperature for fish is 63°C.
• For reheating food, use the REHEAT button for
bringing food up to serving temperature. The
recommended serving temperature for food is
at least 74ºC.
• To check on food during the steam cycle, press
the PAUSE button to stop flow of steam. Wait
a second before lifting the side of the lid
farthest away from you first, to allow steam to
escape away.
• Be sure to cover foods placed into steamer in
dishes to avoid steam condensing in bottom of
dish - We suggest using aluminum foil.
• Use mitts or potholders to lift tray out of
steamer before removing food.
