Back to Basics Steam Juicer Instruction Manual page 6

It's a Blancher and Steam Cooker, Too!
Steam fruits or vegetables that need to be peeled before canning, such as peaches,
tomatoes, or beets in your steam juicer. Steaming makes them easier to peel.
Use your Steam Juicer for blanching foods for freezing. Boil water in the water pan.
When the steam escapes from the juicer top, put the vegetables in the food basket.
Secure the lid and steam.
Note: Fill the steam basket no more than half full. Cool the steamed vegetables in
ice water, drain, package, and freeze.
