To steam chicken and poultry using your
VitaSteam Deluxe, the following are some handy
hints:
1. Select pieces of poultry of similar size for even
cooking.
2. Arrange poultry in a single layer, to facilitate
even cooking.
3. Removal of fat and the removal of skin is
recommended.
4. If some colour is desired, brown poultry well
in a non-stick frypan before steaming.
5. Steam until well done. Check by piercing the
thickest part of the poultry. If the juices run
clear, it is cooked.
