• Poultry or fish juices may drip and transfer flavours. To help prevent this, wrap them in foil.
• Don’t use mussels that are open prior to cooking. Steam until the shells open fully, and
discard any that aren’t open after cooking.
• Cook meat, poultry, etc. until the juices run clear. Cook fish till the flesh is opaque
throughout.
• You should cook leaf vegetables as little as possible, to keep them green and crisp.
Plunging them into iced water will stop the cooking process.

4. Unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely.
