tray (the maximum amount of rice is 250 grams).
3. Cover the steaming bowl with the lid.

USEFUL TIPS
1. Cooking in the upper steaming bowl
(3)
may require a longer cooking time due to the fact that the steam temperature is lower in
the upper part of the food steamer.
2. Food arranged in one layer cooks faster than arranged in several layers. That is why large amounts of food require a longer cooking time.
3. We recommend cooking food portions of similar sizes. Always place small food pieces on top if the portions are of various sizes
and it is necessary to arrange them in levels.
4. Food in the steaming bowls
(3)
,
(4)
,
(5)
or food bowl
(2)
should not be tightly arranged. Provide spaces between the food portions
to allow a maximum steam flow.
5. When cooking large food portions lift the lid
(1)
in the middle of the cooking time and stir the food using a utensil with long hand
-
grips. Use kitchen grips to protect hands from steam.
6. Add salt and spices to the steaming bowls
(3), (4), (5)
when cooking is finished. Thanks to this the heating element inside the
water container
(9)
will not be damaged.
7. The liquid that gathers on the drip tray
(6)
can be stored and used to prepare soups and sauces.
8. Do not cook frozen meat, poultry and seafood in the appliance. Defrost these products thoroughly before cooking.
9. The food bowl is excellent for cooking other foods such as fruits, vegetables, puddings, quick snacks etc.
10. When using three steaming bowls
(3), (4), (5)
:
Place the largest food portions which require the longest cooking time in the lower steaming bowl.
–
Place various foods in the upper and lower bowls, however, check if their flavors match, as condensed steam drips from the upper bowl.
–
When cooking meat or poultry, place meat and poultry in the lower bowl so that the juice from the raw or partly cooked meat does
–
not drip on other foods.
Foods placed in the upper bowl usually require a slightly longer cooking time, therefore add about 5 minutes.
–
In case of preparing foods that require various cooking times, place the foods that cook longest in the lower bowl; next – when
–
the cooking time left until the end of the cooking period is equal to the time required to cook the foods that need the shortest cooking
time – carefully remove the lid using kitchen grips and place the upper bowl on the top; cover the appliance and continue cooking.
COOKING TIME TABLE
1. The cooking times indicated in the tables and recipes are approximate. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the
portion, its arrangement in the steaming bowl, the foods’ freshness and individual preferences. You can change the cooking times
after familiarizing yourself with the appliance.
2. The given cooking times concern the amount of food indicated in the guide or recipe. Change the cooking time appropriately
when preparing larger or smaller amounts of food.
3. If not otherwise specified, the cooking times concern food cooked in the lower bowl. Food placed in the upper bowl may require
a slightly longer cooking time.
4. The cooking times indicated in the guide and recipes have been calculated with the assumption that the water in the water con
-
tainer is cold.
