USING YOUR INSTANT STEAMER

STEAMING TIPS

Never operate the Instant Steamer without all of the Baskets, Basket Trays, or the Lid. All
parts must be properly assembled before use.
Important Note: The Water Tank has a 1 L capacity. When the Tank is completely filled,
the Steamer can create steam continuously for approximately 1 hour. After that, you will
need to remove the Tank, refill it, and return it to the Water Tank Mount. You can do this
while the food is steaming without disrupting the cooking process.
Place similar foods together in the same Basket.
•
Foods that are cut into large pieces, are in a large quantity, or require a longer
•
cooking time should always be placed in Basket 1 (the bottom basket).
Foods that are cut into small pieces or that cook very quickly should be placed in
•
Basket 3 (the top basket).
When cooking meats, fish, or poultry, place them in Basket 1 (bottom basket) so
•
that their juices will not drip onto other foods.
Place any foods that are covered in spices or marinades in Basket 1 (the bottom
•
basket) to avoid accidentally flavoring other foods in the other Baskets.
Don't overlap the food or overfill the Baskets. When arranging your meats and
•
veggies in each Basket, evenly spread out the food so that it doesn't overlap. This
will ensure that the food cooks evenly. It is important to space out the food so that
the steam can easily flow through the holes in the Basket Trays.
When cooking frozen meats, always make sure to thaw the fish, meat, or poultry
•
before steaming.
