The following are some handy hints for
cooking eggs in the VitaSteam Electronic:
1. The Steamer is ideal for boiling, poaching
or scrambling eggs.
2. Using the steaming tray, eggs may be
cooked in the shell or cracked into
individual size heatproof dishes.
3. Scrambled eggs may be prepared in the
rice bowl.
4. Large eggs will require slightly longer
cooking times.
Eggs – guide to cooking times
Guide to recipes
The recipes in this book are a guide to the
various types of food you can cook in your
Sunbeam VitaSteam Electronic.
Each recipe specifies if the steaming tray or
the rice bowl should be used.
Under each recipe title there is a note of
the approximate cooking time required. This
may not always produce food cooked to your
personal taste (you may find the food over
cooked or under cooked).
As you familiarise yourself with your
Sunbeam VitaSteam Electronic you will be
able to perfect the cooking times to suit your
requirements and personal preferences.
