Recipes
•
Steaming times stated in the charts and recipes are intended as a guide� If you have
followed the instructions and the food is still not sufficiently cooked, simply steam for a
little longer until satisfied�
•
The steaming times are all based on food cooked in the lower basket, unless specifically
stated otherwise� Food cooked in the upper basket may take slightly longer to cook�
•
All times stated in the charts and recipes are based on the use of cold water�
Adding More Water During Cooking
For recipes with long cooking times, reset the timer and top up with more water� When
refilling, always switch off the steamer first and empty the juice collector carefully as the
liquid may be hot� Add sufficient warm water (but not boiling water) for the remaining
time�
Vegetables
•
Cut off thick stems from cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage�
•
Steam leafy, green vegetables for the shortest possible time as they loose colour easily�
•
Salt and season vegetables after steaming for best results�
•
Frozen vegetables should not be thawed before steaming�
