Notes:
•
Use the above chart as a guide only and make sure food is cooked through thoroughly before
consumption.
•
Steaming times in the chart are based on the use of cold water.
•
Do not block the holes in the steam plates.
•
The cooking time and weight indicated in the chart may vary depending on the size of pieces of
food, the space between items, the quality of food and individual taste. Once you are familiar
with the steamer, you will be able to adjust the cooking time.
•
When using the appliance at high altitude, steaming time may need to be increased.
•
A single basket of food steams faster than multiple baskets. Therefore, steaming time for a
large quantity of food is much longer.
•
Put the largest pieces of food in the lowest steamer basket.
•
Do not crowd the food in a basket. There should be space between pieces to allow the steam
to flow.
•
Completely thaw frozen meat or poultry before steaming.
