The steaming times in this chart are a guide and should be adjusted
to suit the different quantities or thickness of food and to suit your
own taste.
*Altitude affects the temperature at which water boils and thus the
cooking time. It’s especially true at high altitudes where longer cooking
times are necessary. We have outlined a general guide to follow. Test for
desired consistency when cooking times indicated have been reached. As
you cook with this appliance, adapt times and measurements to your
own personal tastes.
