Congratulations on the purchase of your new
Sunbeam VitaSteam electronic food steamer.
You will now be able to enjoy the benefits
and convenience of steam cooking.
Steaming is one of the healthiest cooking
methods available, as it requires no fats
or oils. Steaming ensures that fruit and
vegetables retain vitamins and minerals
required for a balanced diet. Meats such as
chicken can be gently steamed to retain their
flavour and tenderness, while the fats drain
away.
Steaming is also gentle, as the food never
comes in contact with the cooking liquid,
ensuring that it retains its shape, colour and
texture.
