Steaming - Breville VTP053 Instruction Booklet

steaming

Make sure your multi cooker is switched off, unplugged at the mains supply
socket and is fully cooled before assembling or disassembling. During use the
glass lid, removable bowl, steamer tray and cooker body will get very hot. Always
handle with care and use oven gloves.
Beware of hot steam escaping from the vent hole in the glass lid.
Always check that your food is thoroughly cooked before serving.
1. Set the mode selector switch to OFF. Place the removable bowl inside your multi
cooker's base. Ensure the bowl is positioned correctly before continuing.
2. Add 1 litre of cold water.
3. Plug your multi cooker into a suitable mains supply socket. The POWER light will
flash.
4. Move the mode selector switch to the STEAM position. After a few seconds, the
POWER light will stop flashing and remain on as your multi cooker heats up.
5. When the water has heated sufficently to produce steam, Add the vegetables to the
steamer tray. Make sure that some of the steam holes in the steamer tray remain
uncovered to allow the steam to penetrate the vegetables. Don't overfill the steamer
tray otherwise the vegetables may be unevenly cooked. Using oven gloves, carefully
place the steamer tray into your multi cooker
6. Place the glass lid onto your multi cooker.
Unless your recipe states otherwise, avoid removing the lid during steaming. Removing
the lid unnecessarily will result in a loss of steam and the cooking time will need to be
extended.
Steam the vegetables for the appropriate time. For cooking times see the steam cooking
guide on page 15.
If further steaming is required ensure there is sufficient water in the bowl. Add more
water or stock as required and replace the steaming tray and glass lid. Take care when
removing the lid. Angle the lid away from you in order to allow the excess steam to
escape.
After use
After use, set the mode selector to OFF and unplug your multi cooker from the supply
socket. Your multi cooker does not switch off automatically.
