Useful hints and tips
•
Steaming times stated in the cooking guide
are only a guide. Times may vary
depending on the size of the food pieces,
spacing of the food in the steamer bowl,
quantity of food, freshness of food and
personal preference. As you become
familiar with the steamer, adjust the cooking
times as necessary.
•
A single bowl of food steams faster than
with 2 or 3 bowls in use. Therefore, the
cooking time for a larger quantity of food
will be longer.
•
For best results, be sure pieces of food are
similar in size. If pieces vary in size and
layering is required, place smaller pieces on
top.
•
Do not crowd food in steaming bowl or rice
bowl. Arrange the food with spaces
between pieces to allow for maximum
steam flow.
•
Always use the drip tray to prevent drips
splashing.
•
Never steam meat, poultry or seafood
from frozen. Always completely thaw first.
