STEAMING
Steamed foods retain most of their nutritional
value when cooked in the multi cooker.
Foods may be steamed by placing food in the
stainless steel steaming tray over stock or
water and covering with the glass lid. Keep the
glass lid on while steaming food unless the
recipe or chart specifically states to remove the
lid. By removing the lid unnecessarily steam is
lost and the cooking time will be extended.
1. Measure 3 rice scoops or more of water or
stock and pour into the removable cooking
bowl. Use up to a maximum of
6 rice scoops of water.
2. Place food to be steamed directly into
the stainless steel steaming tray and
insert into the removable cooking bowl.
(Refer to the Steaming Charts on page
23–25 for approximate cooking times).
3. Place removable cooking bowl with the
steaming tray into housing and cover
with the glass lid.
4. Plug power cord into a 110V or 120V
power outlet. The START|CANCEL
button and RISOTTO button surround
will illuminate in white.
5. Press the RICE|STEAM setting
then press the START|CANCEL
button to activate the setting. The
START|CANCEL button surround will
illuminate red and cooking
will commence.
6. When steaming is complete, the ready
beeps will sound and the multi cooker
will automatically switch to the
KEEP WARM setting.
7. If no further steaming is required, press
the START|CANCEL button to cease
operation and turn the multi cooker off
and then unplug power cord. Allow to cool
before cleaning.
HINTS AND TIPS FOR
STEAMING VEGETABLES
• Smaller pieces will steam faster than
larger pieces.
• Try to keep vegetables to a standard size
to ensure even cooking.
• Fresh or frozen vegetables may
be steamed.
• If steaming frozen vegetables, do
not thaw.
• The size and shape of vegetables, as
well as personal taste, may call for
adjustments to the cooking time. If
softer vegetables are required, allow
extra cooking time.
• Do not allow water or stock to reach the
stainless steel tray. The steaming will
not be effective.
WARNING
Always lift and remove the lid carefully,
angling it away from yourself to avoid
scalding from escaping steam.
NOTE
Keep the glass lid on while steaming food
unless the recipe or chart specifically
states to remove the lid. (By removing
the lid unnecessarily, steam is lost and
the cooking time will be extended.)
NOTE
Do not let the removable cooking bowl
boil dry during steaming.
NOTE
Hot liquid can be added during the
steaming process.
