OpERATING YOUR BREVILLE DIGITAL FOOD STEAMER
Tips for using your Digial Food
Steamer
• For good results, follow these
suggestions: Cooking times provided
in this instruction book are a guide
only. Specific foods may require varied
steaming times depending on size,
quality and temperature of food.
• Avoid unnecessary removal of the lid
and steamer baskets during cooking, as
steam surrounding the food will escape.
• Food should be evenly spread in all three
steamer baskets. A single layer of food
steams faster than multi layers.
• Steaming time for food in the upper
basket is slightly longer, so allow an extra
few minutes.
• If foods with varying cooking times are to
be steamed, place the food requiring the
longest cooking time in the lower basket.
When that food has partially cooked,
carefully remove the lid using a dry oven
mitt or cloth and add the upper steaming
baskets. Replace lid and continue
steaming until all layers are cooked.
• For food requiring longer cooking times,
refill the water reservoir to the TOP-UP
line to ensure it does not fall below the
MIN marking. The reservoir can be
refilled by pouring water through the
easy-to-fill spout to the TOP-UP line.
• Foods such as meat or chicken should
be placed in the lower steamer basket to
avoid juices dripping onto foods below.
• Do not steam larger pieces of meat
or fish, especially foods with high fat
content, as this may cause the drip tray
to overflow.
• Remove food once the steaming time
has elapsed, otherwise food will continue
to cook in the accumulated steam of the
food steamer.
