Thank you for selecting the Tupperware
®
Smart Multi-Cooker
product. This unique, compact and multipurpose microwave
cooking solution allows you to steam food, as well as cook pasta,
rice and other grains. This multipurpose cooker not only takes little
space to store but also provides you with three products in one.
Enjoy delicious, healthy and nutritious meals with your family which
are quick and easy to prepare!
Cooking and measuring instructions are engraved on the inside of
the Base (Fig. A1), the Shielded Cover (Fig. A4), the Grain Insert
(Fig. A5) and the Grain Cover (Fig. A6).
Max. 900 W Min. 0 °C
Max. 30 min. Max. 120 °C
• Do not replace water with syrup, oil, non-fat-free stock or any other
liquid with sugar, fat or alcohol contents (except for white wine, where
you can replace a maximum of 100ml of water with white wine).
CAUTION: Always pour the right amount of water into the Base and
make sure it is never empty. Not doing so may cause the Base to
melt. Overfilling may cause food to be immersed in liquid and not
steam properly.
• Always make sure to properly assemble the Base, Shielded
Colander, Shallow Colander (optional; for stack steaming) and
Shielded Cover (See Fig B2).
• Never use the Shallow Colander without the Shielded Colander
and the Shielded Cover.
• Place the food you wish to steam in the Shielded Colander and
Shallow Colander (if you wish to stack steam).
• When stack steaming, place ingredients requiring a longer cooking
time in the Shielded Colander (bottom colander) and the more
delicate ones, such as fish or meat in the Shallow Colander (upper
colander).
• Do not overfill the Shielded Colander or the Shallow Colander;
make sure that the colanders are properly stacked (the rims are
perfectly aligned vertically and there is no part that looks slanted),
and that the Shielded Cover is fully covering the colander.
• Always microwave at 900 watts maximum for no more than
30 minutes at a time (Fig. G). Remove the product carefully from
your microwave oven by safely holding its handles with both hands
and using oven gloves. Let the product and the microwave oven
cool down and refill the Base to 400 ml | 1¾c with clean water
before re-using. Not doing so may cause the Base or other parts to
melt, or your microwave oven to be damaged.
• If you stop the microwave to check the cooking process, make sure
that the water level in the Base is still at the 400 ml | 1¾c filling line.
Add 1 extra minute to the remaining cooking time to allow water to
steam again.
CAUTION: Always place the product at least 5 cm | 2" away from the
glass/ceramic protection around the top energizer (location where the
microwaves enter the oven) of your microwave oven
(See Fig B3). If your microwave oven’s energizer is located on the
side only, you do not need to respect the 5 cm | 2" distance, either
from the top, or the sides; except if the side energizer is covered by a
glass/ceramic protection. If you have a microwave oven with a turning
plate, always place the product in the center of the turning plate and
make sure that the plate is rotating. Not doing so may cause the top of
the cover to melt. If you have a microwave oven with a tray or a shelf,
remove those from the oven and place the Smart Multi-Cooker
directly on the bottom level of your microwave oven.
• Allow for a standing time of 5 minutes after cooking. Leave the
product closed until it is time to serve the food – it will keep it warm.
• If you wish to stop the steaming process once the microwave
cooking time is over (recommended for green vegetables), remove
the colanders from the Base, pour out the remaining hot water from
the Base and place the Base back under the Shielded Colander.
• For best results when Steaming:
• Choose quality ingredients, preferably in season as they contain
more vitamins if freshly picked.
• Frozen ingredients are a good alternative to fresh produce as they
have high nutritional value.
• Make sure to leave enough space between pieces of food to allow
steam to circulate around and maximize the steaming process.
• Thicker foods may take longer to steam. Best results are obtained
when steaming pieces of food of similar size.
• Remove thick stems from cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli.
• Marinating fish or meat prior to steaming or adding toppings such
as condiments, seasoning or sauces will significantly enhance
their appearance and flavour.
• When steaming fish, we recommend placing a lettuce leaf under
the fish for easier cleaning.
• When steaming white fish fillets, we recommend basting the fillets
with a very small amount of oil (≈1ml/ 0.2 teaspoon). It will enhance
the taste of the food and prevent possible overflowing of liquid.
1. Key features and benefits:
The Tupperware
®
Smart Multi-Cooker was invented to answer a growing
demand for easy, fast and compact cooking solutions.
This smart product combines various technologies and materials, which
create optimal cooking and steaming results in the microwave oven:
• Stack steaming (for cooking guidelines see section
“3.1 Steaming”): steam various fresh or frozen ingredients, such as
vegetables, fruits, fish and poultry. The product allows true steaming
by preventing microwaves from penetrating the Shielded Colander
stacked on the Base. Microwaves only heat the water in the Base
(Fig. A1), producing steam that perfectly cooks the food placed in the
Shielded Colander. The product is ideal to steam two types of food at
the same time: stack the Shallow Colander (Fig. A3) on top of the
Shielded Colander (Fig. A2) and place the Shielded Cover on the
Shallow Colander.
• Cooking rice and other grains (for cooking guidelines see section
“3.2 Cooking Rice and Other Grains”): cook your rice and other grains
to perfection. The unique combination of a Grain Insert (Fig. A5) and a
Grain Cover (Fig. A6) ensures that any natural foam overflow is
collected inside the top cover’s recess and drained back into the Base
through the Grain Insert.
• Cooking short pasta (for cooking guidelines see section
“3.3 Cooking Pasta”): the product allows you to easily and quickly
cook various sorts of short pasta.
2. Product parts description (Fig. A):
The product consists of:
• A Base (1): with a full capacity of 3L, it is used to steam or cook
pasta, rice and other grains.
• A Shielded Colander (2): used to steam ingredients, such as
vegetables, fruits, fish, and poultry, it blocks microwaves, making
sure that only steam cooks your food. It can also be used to drain
pasta, which can then be kept warm in the covered, emptied Base.
• A Shallow Colander (3): designed to hold delicate and soft foods
while stack steaming.
• A Shielded Cover (4): it blocks microwaves and holds steam inside
the Shielded Colander, for optimal cooking.
• A Grain Insert (5): used to cook rice and other grains, it reduces the
volume of foam created during the cooking process.
• A Grain Cover (6): used for cooking rice and other grains,
it prevents overflowing of liquid and food in the microwave.
3. Cooking guidelines:
3.1 Steaming (Fig. B):
To steam, use the Base, the Shielded Colander, the Shallow
Colander (only when stack steaming), and the Shielded Cover.
•
Fill the Base with cold tap water until you reach the 400 ml | 1¾c
filling line located under the steaming logo ( ) (See Fig. B1).
• Do not replace water with syrup, oil, non-fat-free stock or any other
liquid with sugar, fat or alcohol contents (except for white wine, where
you can replace a maximum of 100ml of water with white wine).
Use a low temperature programme on your dishwasher to save energy and protect the
environment.
