„ Guidelines for steaming times
Ingredients
1 fillet
Chicken
(1/2 to 3/4 lbs [200 to 300 g])
2 to 3 fillets
White fish
(5.0 to 7.0 oz [150 to 200 g])
6 to 10
Shrimp
(1/4 to 1/2 lbs [100 to 200 g])
1 to 2
Carrots

• Do not fill the cooking plate for the 1.0 L (5.5-cup) type any higher than 1-1/3 inches (3.4 cm), or 1-1/2
inches (3.7 cm) with the 1.8 L (10-cup) type. Doing so may result in the food touching the lid and becoming
wet and soggy.
• The steaming times above are only a guideline and the required time will differ depending upon the
temperature, quality, and quantity of the ingredients.
• If steaming is still not complete, you can steam for an additional period of time based on how well the food
is cooked.
• Normally, there will not be enough water for additional steaming. Add water to prevent the inner pot from
running dry.
• If you steam meat and fish, etc., for too long, they will become hard. If food does not steam sufficiently at
shorter times, cut into thinner slices.
• Always wrap fish, etc., in aluminum foil for steaming. Failure to do so may result in the contents of the
cooking plate boiling over.
