HINTS, TIPS AND FOOD SAFETY
•
Don’t worry too much about overcooking. Steaming is a relatively gentle cooking method and a few
minutes extra generally won’t matter.
•
To allow the steam to circulate:
a) Pack food loosely in the baskets.
b) Whenever possible, use single layers of food.
c) Leave spaces between the pieces.
d) When layering food in a basket, leave spaces between the pieces in each layer to let
the steam circulate through the layers.
•
Ensure the water level always remain above the Min mark of the water level window.
•
The steaming lid should be kept on at all times during steaming.
•
Arrange food in a single layer.
•
Uniformly cut foods will steam more evenly.
•
Stir food halfway through a longer steam cycle for more even steaming.
•
Foods that require longer cooking times should be placed in lower steaming baskets.
•
Place foods that require gentle steaming or shorter cooking times in higher baskets.
•
You’ll need to experiment to find the times which suit your favourite foods and food combinations.
•
Use the rice bowl to cook any foods that are in a sauce or liquid.
•
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.
