HINTS AND TIPS
•
Always ensure meat is placed
below other food types.
•
Steaming times stated in the
cooking guide are only a guide.
Times may vary depending on
the size of the food pieces,
spacing of the food in the
steamer bowl, quantity of food,
freshness of food and personal
preference. As you become
familiar with the steamer, adjust
the cooking times as necessary.
•
A single bowl of food, steams
faster than with 2 or 3 bowls in
use. Therefore, the cooking time
for a larger quantity of food will
be longer.
•
For best results, use pieces of
food that are similar in size. If
pieces vary in size and layering
is required, place smaller pieces
on top.
•
Do not crowd food in the
steaming bowl or rice bowl.
Arrange the food with spaces
between pieces to allow for
maximum steam flow.
•
Always use the drip tray to
prevent drips splashing.
•
Never steam meat, poultry or
seafood from frozen. Always
completely thaw first.
