TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
BREAK-IN -
Before cooking in your Crown Verity Inc. Pro Steamer for the first time; we suggest a
thorough wash-down and boil-off. Fill the Pro Steamer to the fill line, operate the Pro-
Steamer on high setting and bring to a boil for 10 minutes, allow the Pro-Steamer to
cool, then drain and rinse the tank and basket. This will remove all dirt particles and
protective oils. You are now ready to put the Pro Steamer to work.
COOKING TECHNIQUES:
Always bring the water in the tank to a full, rolling, boil before inserting the basket. Fill a
clean basket with food, in a manner that allows maximum circulation of hot steam
throughout the food. Place foods with longer cook times near the center and foods that
cook faster on the outer edges of the basket. Once the Pro steamer is at a full boil,
carefully lift the lid, place the basket into the tank, close the lid and begin timing your
food. Hint: Placing a full basket of cold food into a hot Pro Steamer will reduce the
interior temperature; keep the burner on high setting until the pro Steamer resumes a
full boil.
Food Product Suggestions

dogs, vegetables including corn on the cob, potatoes, asparagus, broccoli and virtually

Tips
:
• Allow space between each food item in the basket to promote the hot steam to
circulate freely
• Stir product occasionally if possible.
• Always check internal food temperatures with an appropriate thermometer and/or
taste test before removing the basket or serving.
