USEFUL HINTS AND TIPS
USING MORE THAN ONE STEAMER BOWL
Always place the largest pieces or food with the longest cooking
time in the lowest bowl. You may place different foods in the
50
bowls, but as condensation will drip from the topmost bowl be
sure the flavours complement each other.
When steaming meat or poultry with vegetables, place the meat
or poultry in the lower bowl so juices from raw or partially cooked
meat cannot drip onto other foods.
5
6
Steaming times for food in the upper bowls usually take longer so
allow an extra few minutes.
If foods with different cooking times are being steamed, start
00 20
steaming with the food with the longest cooking time in the
lower bowl . When the remaining steaming time reaches that of
the food with the shorter cooking time, carefully remove the lid
with oven gloves and place the next bowl on top. Cover with the
lid and continue steaming.
THE KEEP WARM FUNCTION
The flavour and nutritional value of steamed food is best when
freshly cooked. However, should you wish to keep food warm for
a short period of time, you can select "KEEP WARM" by pressing
the "MODE" button and if necessary adjust the time.
