STEAMING
Steamed foods retain most of their nutritional
value when cooked in the Risotto Plus™.
Foods may be steamed by placing food in the
stainless steel steaming tray over stock or water
and covering with the glass lid. Keep the glass
lid on while steaming food unless the recipe or
chart specifically states to remove the lid. By
removing the lid unnecessarily steam is lost and
the cooking time will be extended.
1.
Measure 3 rice scoops or more
of water or stock and pour into
the removable cooking bowl.
Use up to a maximum of 6 rice
scoop cups of water.
2.
Place food to be steamed directly into the
stainless steel steaming tray and insert into
the removable cooking bowl. (Refer to the
Steaming
Charts on pages 20–22 for approximate
cooking times).
3.
Place removable cooking bowl with the
steaming tray into housing
and cover with the glass lid.
4.
Plug power cord into a 230V power outlet.
The START/CANCEL button and RISOTTO
button surround will illuminate in white.
5.
Press the RICE/STEAM setting then press
the START/CANCEL button to activate
the setting. The START/CANCEL button
surround will illuminate red and cooking
will commence.
6.
When steaming is complete,
the ready beeps will sound and
the Risotto Plus™ will automatically switch to
the KEEP WARM setting.
7.
If no further steaming is required, press the
START/CANCEL button
to cease operation and turn the
Risotto Plus™ off at the power outlet and
then unplug power cord.
Allow to cool before cleaning.
NOTE
Keep the glass lid on while steaming food
unless the recipe or chart specifically
states to remove the lid. (By removing the
lid unnecessarily, steam is lost and the
cooking time will be extended.)
NOTE
Do not let the removable cooking
bowl boil dry during steaming.
NOTE
Hot liquid can be added during
the steaming process.
HINTS AND TIPS FOR
STEAMING VEGETABLES
• Smaller pieces will steam faster than
larger pieces.
• Try to keep vegetables to a standard
size to ensure even cooking.
• Fresh or frozen vegetables may
be steamed.
• If steaming frozen vegetables,
do not thaw.
• The size and shape of vegetables,
as well as personal taste, may call
for adjustments to the cooking time.
If softer vegetables are required,
allow extra cooking time.
• Do not allow water or stock to reach
the stainless steel tray. The steaming will
not be effective.
WARNING
Always lift and remove the lid
carefully, angling it away from
yourself to avoid scalding from
escaping steam.
