Stopping Early; Timing - Russell Hobbs 14453 Instructions Manual

35 The thermostat will cycle on and off till either (a) you add
water, or (b) the timer switches the steamer off.
36 Unplug the base unit, let it cool for a few minutes, then fill
up with boiling water and start again.
37 When calculating the time, allow for the whole of the time
already spent steaming, and part of the time between
running dry and restarting, as the cooking process won't
have stopped immediately the reservoir ran dry.
38 If you watch the cooking process carefully, there's no
reason why the rescue operation shouldn't be 100%
successful.
39 If it isn't, then a piquant sauce should do the trick – try
something with lemon or lime in it first. If all else fails,
ginger, garlic, or chilli will hide absolutely anything.

stopping early

40 To stop the cooking process, unplug the base unit from the
power socket.
41 Remember – everything will be hot. Use oven gloves and
take care.

timing

The times given are in minutes, for a single layer of food, in
the bottom basket, used on its own. Extend these times:
a) if two or three baskets are used – the steam has to heat
more food
b) generally, the further the food is from the element, the
longer it'll take to cook.
c) if food is layered within a basket
You'll need to experiment to find the times and positions that
suit your favourite foods and food combinations.
