Cooking a menu
With steam, you can cook a whole menu at once,
without the different flavours mixing. Place the food with
the longest cooking time in the appliance first and delay
the rest until the appropriate time. This means that all
the food will be ready at the same time.
The overall cooking time is extended with menu
cooking, as a little steam escapes each time the
appliance door is opened and has to be reheated.
Vegetables
Place the vegetables in the perforated steam container
and insert at level 3. Always insert the solid steam
container underneath at level 1. Any dripping liquid will
be caught.
Side dishes and pulses
Add water or liquid in the proportion specified. For
example: 1:1.5 = add 150 ml liquid for every 100 g rice.
You may select any shelf position you wish for the solid
steam container.
