Using
Using
You can use the food steamer with one
steam basket only or with both baskets.
1.
Place the water tray (3) on a level
surface. Fill fresh, clear,
hot
water
(approx. 250 ml) in the water tray,
without adding ingredients such as
stock, spices, wine, salt etc.
2.
Evenly distribute all washed and
sliced food on one steam basket (2)
or on both baskets and place the
baskets on the water tray.
3.
Close the steam basket with the lid (1) and turn the cap of the lid to make
sure that steam can escape. Insert the food steamer into the microwave and
adjust the steaming time to 6 minutes.
Cooking Time
The cooking time is just a guideline. The cooking time depends on the
freshness/consistency of the food to be steamed and the individual taste for
doneness. When using fresh food, sliced it into very thin slices, cooking time will
be faster than usual.
We recommend adjusting the microwave to 600 up to 800 Watts (if adjustable).
After Cooking
After steaming, check whether the food is done. If you want to continue steaming,
close with the lid and place the food steamer into the microwave again.
Hints for Steaming Food
The food steamer is perfect for cooking vegetables, fish, meat and poultry.
Always place meat and fish on the bottom steam basket.
Add spices when steaming is finished.
Thaw frozen food prior to place it in the food steamer.
Do not place the portioned food too close together, otherwise steam cannot
rise sufficiently.
If possible portion the food into equal parts. Cut off stems/stalk, remove pips
and peel off the vegetables.
When steaming large parts, turn around during half time cooking.
