– You can cook on any level or on
multiple levels at a time. The cooking
time will not change.
– When cooking frozen food, e.g.
vegetables, break up large clumps
so that they cook evenly. The
cooking time is approximately the
same as for fresh vegetables.
– Since steam cooking retains flavors
so well, food should not be seasoned
until after it has been cooked.
– Fish should be cooked at 165°F
(75°C) to maintain its texture and
natural color. At this temperature you
should cook on only one level.
Fish can be cooked on more than
one level at 195°F (90°C). However,
when cooking at this temperature,
please note that cooking times will
be reduced by several minutes.
– To avoid any transfer of tastes
caused by moisture dripping from
above, solid containers should be
used under any perforated
containers.
– When cooking with fluids, fill solid
containers to the lower rim.
– Food like noodles or rice need to be
cooked in fluids. Rice, beans and
cereals need to be cooked in equal
amounts of food and water.
– Grease the perforated container
when cooking fish.
– Grease the solid container when
cooking eggs, e.g. scrambled eggs.
