COOKING TIPS
HOW TO STEAM VEGETABLES
When steaming vegetables, please follow these instructions:

Wash the vegetables. Cut off stems, trim, chop and peel if required.

When steaming different size vegetables at the same time, place the largest and firmest in
the lower steamer basket and the smallest vegetables in the top steamer baskets.

If steaming smaller portions, the steaming time will decrease.

Freshness, quality and size of the vegetables as well as personal preference will affect how
quickly ingredients will take to steam.

Frozen vegetables should not be thawed before steaming.
HOW TO STEAM CHICKEN & MEAT
Follow these suggestions for cooking meat and poultry:

If chicken and meat are frozen, they should be completely thawed before steaming.

Always clean and prepare fresh meat before steaming. It is recommended to remove any fat
and skin from chicken and gristle from meat before steaming.

Place smaller pieces of meat or poultry in a single layer.

Steam until the meat or poultry is well done. Check by piercing the thickest part of the
poultry or roast with a meat thermometer or with a knife or skewer to check that the centre
is cooked and juices run clear. This should always be done with the food removed from the
Steamer.
