Place your food to be steamed into the required tiers
Before first use
Before using your steamer for the first time, wash
all parts except the Main Unit
(10)
.
Your steamer can be used to steam one two or
three tiers of steaming bowls at the same time.
Single tier
Use one tier for steaming one type of food, such
as peeled potatoes. Take care to arrange the food
so that some of the holes in the bottom of the tier
remain clear, allowing steam to flow.
Two tiers
Always place the largest pieces of food with the
longest cooking time in the lowest tier. Place
different foods in the upper and lower tiers, but as
condensation will drip from the upper tier be sure
the flavours complement each other.
Three tiers
Always place the largest pieces of food with the
longest cooking time in the lowest tier. Steaming
times for food in the upper tiers are usually
slightly longer so allow an extra 3-5 minutes due
to a large volume of food being cooked and due
to extra time being needed to reach temperature.
If foods with different cooking times are being
steamed, start the food with the longest cooking
time in the lowest tier. If steaming meat, fish or
poultry together with vegetables, always place
the meat, fish or poultry in the lowest tier so that
juices from raw or partially cooked meat
cannot drip onto other foods.
