Useful hints and tips

Always place the largest pieces of food with the longest cooking time in the lower
steamer bowl. Place different foods in the upper and lower steamer bowls, but as
condensation will drip from the upper steamer bowl be sure the flavours
compliment each other.
If steaming meat, fish or poultry together with vegetables, always place the meat,
fish or poultry in the lower steamer bowl so that juices from raw or partially cooked
meat cannot drip onto other foods.

Always place the largest pieces of food with the longest cooking time in the lower
steamer bowl.
Steaming times for food in the upper steamer bowl are usually slightly longer so
allow an extra 3-5 minutes due to a large volume of food being cooked and due to
extra time being needed to reach temperature.
If foods with different cooking times are being steamed start the food with the
longest cooking time in the lower steamer bowl. If steaming meat, fish or poultry
together with vegetables, always place the meat, fish or poultry in the lower
steamer bowl so that juices from raw or partially cooked meat cannot drip onto
other foods.

If steaming for a long period it may be necessary to add extra water.
Fill with water through the 'add water hole' by using a suitable filling jug.

The steamer comes with a container that allows you to cook rice to perfection.
1. Add rice and water to the rice bowl.
2. Place rice bowl with rice and water into a bowl.
3. Proceed as described previously.

• Always ensure meat is placed below other food types.
• Steaming times stated in the cooking guide are only a guide. Times may vary

depending on the size of the food pieces, spacing of the food in the steamer
bowl, quantity of food, freshness of food and personal preference. As you
become familiar with the steamer, adjust the cooking times as necessary.

• A single bowl of food steams faster than with 2 or 3 bowls in use. Therefore, the

cooking time for a larger quantity of food will be longer.

• For best results, be sure pieces of food are similar in size. If pieces vary in size

and layering is required, place smaller pieces on top.

• Do not crowd food in steamer bowl or rice bowl. Arrange the food with spaces

between pieces to allow for maximum steam flow.

• Always use the drip tray to prevent drip splashing.
• Never steam meat, poultry or seafood from frozen. Always completely thaw

first.

• The cooking times shown below are only a guide and should be adjusted

accordingly to suit your tastes.

• Times shown are based on foods being cooked in the lower steamer bowl.

Foods in the upper steamer bowl may take slightly longer.

• While the majority of foods cook in much less than 60 minutes, longer cooking

times may require adding additional water to the water basin. Follow refill
instructions. Remember to reset the timer as the steamer will switch off when
the timer runs out.
