tips for steaming food
aroma infuser
-
Rosemary, thyme, coriander, basil, dill, curry and tarragon are some of the herbs and spices that
you can put in the Aroma Infuser. You can combine them with garlic, caraway or horseradish to
enhance flavour without adding salt. We advise you to use 1/2 to 3tsps of dried herbs or spices.
Use more if you use fresh herbs or spices.
-
For more tips about herbs, spices and liquids to use in the Aroma Infuser, see the food steaming
table above.
-
Putting a little oil on the food improves the effect of the Aroma Infuser and also gives the food a
fuller taste.
-
For the best result, chop the herbs into fine pieces and fill the aroma infuser evenly.
-
For the best taste, we advise you to eat your food immediately after preparing it.
-
Do not pour liquids in the aroma infuser.
vegetables and fruits
-
Cut off thick stems from cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage.
-
Steam leafy, green vegetables for the shortest possible time, because they lose colour easily.
-
Do not thaw frozen vegetables before you steam them.
Meat, poultry, seafood and eggs
-
Tender pieces of meat with a little fat are most suitable for steaming.
-
Wash meat properly and dab it dry, so that as little juice as possible drips out.
-
Always place meat, poultry, fish or eggs below other food types, to prevent dripping of juices.
-
Puncture eggs before you put them in the steamer.
-
Never steam frozen meat, poultry or seafood. Always let frozen meat, poultry or seafood thaw
completely before you put it in the steamer.
sweet deserts
-
Add some cinnamon to desserts to enhance sweetness instead of adding more sugar.
general tips
-
To prepare rice, you have to add water to the rice in the soup bowl. For the amounts, see the
food steaming table above.
-
When you have finished cooking rice, switch off the appliance, stir the rice and leave it in the
bowl with the lid on it for 5 minutes. This gives and even better result.
-
Besides preparing soup, you can also use the soup bowl to prepare vegetables in sauce, to
poach fish in, to cook marinated food and to make pudding, soup and rice.
-
Leave some space between the pieces of food and evenly distribute the food over the bottom
of the basket.
-
If the steaming basket is very full, stir the food halfway through the steaming process.
-
Small amounts of food require a shorter steaming time than large amounts.
-
If you only use one steaming basket, the food requires a shorter steaming time than when you
use 2 or 3 steaming baskets.
-
If you use more than one steaming basket, let the food cook 5-10 minutes longer.
-
Food is ready more quickly in the small steaming basket (1) than in the steaming baskets on top.
