Thyme, coriander, basil, dill, curry and
tarragon are some of the exciting herbs and
spices that you can put on the flavour booster.
You can combine them with garlic, caraway or
horseradish to enhance flavour without adding
salt. We advise you to use 1/2 to 3tsp of dried
herbs or spices. Use more if you use fresh
herbs or spices.

Tip:
If you use ground herbs or spices, rinse the
drip tray to wet the flavour booster. This prevents
ground herbs or spices from falling through the
openings of the flavour booster

5.) Put the food to be steamed in one or more
steaming bowls and/or in the soup/rice bowl.
Do not put too much food in the steaming
bowls. Arrange the food with ample space
between the pieces to allow maximum steam
flow.
Always place meat and poultry in the bottom
steaming bowl, so that juices from raw or
partially cooked meat or poultry cannot drip
onto other foods.
Place larger pieces of food and food that
require a longer steaming time in the bottom
steaming bowl.
Put eggs on the egg holders to steam eggs
conveniently (Fig. 3).
6.) Put one or more steaming bowls on the drip
tray. If you want to use the soup/rice bowl,
place it in the top steaming bowl. Make sure
you place the bowls properly and that they do
not wobble
.
You do not have to use all 3 steaming bowls.
The steaming bowls are numbered. You find
the number on their handles.The top steaming
bowl is no. 3, The middle steaming bowl is no.
2 and the bottom steaming bowl is no. 1.
Only stack the steaming bowls in the following
order: steaming bowl 1, steaming bowl 2,
steaming bowl 3.
The soup/rice bowl is intended for steaming
rice, soup or other liquid food. When you want
to use the soup/rice bowl, put it in the top
steaming bowl.
If you steam large quantities of food, stir the
food halfway through the steaming process.
Wear oven mitts and use a kitchen utensil with
a long handle.
Food in the top bowl takes usually a little
longer to steam than food in the lower bowls.
If you want to steam foods that require
different steaming times, start steaming the
food that requires the longest steaming time in
bowl 1. Set the steaming time adjustment
knob to a time that you calculate by deducting
the shortest steaming time from the longest
steaming time.
