overcooking
15.Don’t worry too much about overcooking — steaming is a relatively gentle
cooking method and a few minutes extra generally won’t matter
16.Don’t overcook fish — it’ll chew like rubber and taste like cardboard
nb Juices from the upper basket(s) will drip into the basket(s) below. Don’t
put delicate flavours below strong ones, or vegetables below greasy foods.
fit the lid
17.Put the lid on top of the topmost basket.
18.Don’t try to steam without the lid in place. The food won’t cook, the water
won’t last, and you’ll fill the kitchen with steam.
whole chicken? — no problem!
19. To steam a bulky item, like a whole chicken, at point 10 on page 4:
a) sit the chicken in the bottom basket
b) look at the base inside the second basket
c) press the retaining clips in towards the centre of the base
d) lift the base out
e) fit the second basket on top of the first
f) fit the lid to the second basket
nb Don’t remove the base from the bottom basket. Putting food in the diffuser
is a definite no-no!
steaming
20.Plug the steamer into the power socket, and switch the socket on, if it’s
switchable.
21.Press the on/off button — everything will now be followed by a beep.
22.The display will show 00:00
23.Press the start button
24.The display will change to 00:20, and STEAMER will flash on the top left.
25.This is the default steaming time of 20 minutes.
26.If you want to steam for 20 minutes, just leave it. After 6 seconds, the
steaming light will come on, and cooking will start.
27.If you want to set another time, use the minutes (min) button to increase
the time up to 59 minutes — after that, it reverts to 00:00.
28.If you really want to set a time less than 20 minutes, you can do this from
here, but you shouldn’t — 20 minutes should be the minimum.
29.If you want to steam for an hour, simply press the hour (h) button, the
display will change to 1:00.
30. When the display shown the time you want, leave it. After 6 seconds, the
steaming light will come on, and cooking will start.
31.If you want to change anything after the 6 seconds, you’ll have to press the
on/off button and start again.
32.The timer will count down to 00:00, beep 5 times, then it’ll start to count
up again, and show KEEP WARM at the bottom of the display.
nb If you’re not going to empty it right away, check the water level, and top
up if necessary.
