Basic Steaming
Place the lower steaming bowl on to the steamer base.
•
Use this configuration for steaming one type of food such
as peeled potatoes. Take care to arrange the food so
that some of the holes in the bottom of the bowl remain
clear, allowing proper steam flow.
2 tier steaming
• Stacked steaming is a convenient method of preparing
several foods at the same time. Place the lower steaming
bowl onto the steamer base. Place the middle steaming
bowl onto the lower steaming bowl.
Always place the largest pieces of food with the longest
•
cooking time in the lower steaming bowl. You may place
different foods in the upper and lower bowls, but as
condensation will drip from the upper bowl be sure the
flavours compliment each other.
• If steaming meat, fish or poultry and 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. Cover with the lid and continue steaming.
3 tier steaming
Place the lower steaming bowl onto the steamer base.
•
Place the middle steaming bowl onto the lower steaming
bowl. Place the bowl adaptor over the top of the middle
steaming bowl and place the upper steaming bowl on top.
Cover with the lid. Always place the largest pieces of
food with the longest cooking time in the lower steaming
bowl.
Steaming times for food in the upper bowl are usually
•
slightly longer so allow an extra 3-5 minutes due to a large
volume of food being cooked and due to extra time being
needed to reach temperature.
• If foods with different cooking times are being steamed
start the food with the longest cooking time in the lower
bowl. Then when the remaining steaming time reaches
that of the food with the shortest cooking time, carefully
remove the lid with oven gloves or cloth and place the
upper bowl on top.
