Tips and tricks
Steaming
䡲
When steaming, a variety of food can be cooked at the same time. For
example, rice or pulses can be prepared at the same time as vegetables
with similar cooking times, saving energy and the washing-up.
䡲
Grains (e.g. rice and millet) and pulses (e.g. lentils), adding an appropriate
amount of liquid, can be cooked directly in suitable tableware.
䡲
When steaming, always place the stainless steel tray underneath the
perforated stainless steel tray and wire shelf to catch food spills and collect
condensate.
䡲
Put the tableware directly on the stainless steel tray or the wire shelf.
