If foods with different cooking times are
being steamed start the food with the
longest cooking time in the lower bowl. If
steaming meat, fish or poultry together with
vegetables, always place the meat, fish or
poultry in the lower bowl so that juices from
raw or partially cooked meat cannot drip
onto other foods.
Refilling reservoir
If steaming for a long period it may be
necessary to add extra water.
Fill with water through the ‘add water
hole’ by using a suitable filling jug.
Cooking rice
The steamer comes with a container that
allows you to cook rice to perfection.
1 Add rice and water to the rice bowl in
equal proportions.
2 Place the rice bowl with rice and water
into a steaming tray.
3 Proceed as described previously for
steaming.
Useful hints and tips
• Always ensure meat is placed below other
food types.
• Steaming times stated in the cooking
guide are only a guide. Times may vary
depending on 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 the 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.
