The following are some handy hints on
steaming your fish and seafood:
1. Place fish in the Steamer tray.
2. If fish or seafood is to be poached or
cooked in a sauce, use the Rice Cooker
bowl.
3. Add lemon wedges, herbs and seasoning
before steaming, as desired.
4. Add butter or margarine after steaming, if
desired.
5. Fish is cooked when it flakes easily with a
fork and is opaque in colour.
6. Frozen fish may be steamed without
defrosting, except for fillets which need
to be defrosted and separated before
steaming. Fillets are best steamed in a
single layer.
7. When steaming frozen fish, extend the
steaming time.
