STEAMING
You can steam anything in a Wok, from seafood and poultry to vegetables, etc.
1. Add 2 cups (500 ml) of water to the Wok and place a round cake rack
so that it rests above the water.
2. Set the Temperature Control Probe to 250ºF (125ºC) and bring the water
to a boil.
3. Place food on the rack and cover.
4. Steam according to the following guide. Unless mentioned otherwise,
the vegetables in the chart below should be cooked whole. To minimize
steaming time, vegetables can be cut in 1/4" (6 mm) slices and the
cooking time adjusted.
