8. Cooking times
The times quoted in the tables are intended
as a guide. Actual cooking time depends
on:
• the size and freshness of the foods;
• how full the steamer baskets
| 3 are;
• the position of the steamer basket | 3 (top
or bottom);
• the temperature of the water (the times
quoted assume cold water. Cooking
time is slightly reduced with hot water);
• personal preference (food with bite or
soft).
NOTES:
• Stir or rearrange the cooking food occa-
sionally with a long cooking spoon.
• Ensure that all the pieces are about the
same size. Arrange smaller pieces on
top.
• Do not over-fill the steamer baskets | 3 by
packing food in too tightly or covering
all the holes. It must be possible for
steam to pass everywhere between the
pieces and through the holes in the bas-
es of the steamer baskets
| 3 .
8.1 Cooking times -
vegetables
• Prepare the vegetables by cutting off
thick stalks and cutting large vegetables
into similar-sized pieces.
• Leafy vegetables should be cooked for
as short a time as possible so that they
retain their colour.
• Do not season vegetables until they are
cooked.
• Frozen vegetables can be cooked like
fresh ones. For many vegetables, cook-
ing time is extended by a few minutes
when they are frozen.
