STEAM/SIMMER (sensor)

Use microwave-safe container with a loose-ﬁtting lid. Sensor will detect when liquid begins to boil, then begin the Steam or Simmer countdown.

NOTE: Do not remove the lid while the container is in the microwave oven as a rush of steam would disrupt the sensor readings. 1 Steam Recipes: Place small microwave-safe dish (for

example, custard dish) with 2-4 Tbsp (30-60 mL) water in center of container. Use 2 Tbsp (30 mL) water for smaller quantities or 4 Tbsp (60 mL) water for larger quantities of food. Place food in container around the small dish. Cover with loose-ﬁtting lid.

■ Fresh Vegetables – Senses 1-4 cups (250 mL-1 L):

For best results, cut into equally sized pieces.

■ Frozen Vegetables – Senses 1-4 cups (250 mL-1 L)

■ Potatoes – Senses 1-4 cups (250 mL-1 L):

For best results, cut into equally sized pieces.

■ Boneless Chicken – Senses 0.5-1.5 lbs (142-680 g)

2 Manual Steam: Place small microwave-safe dish (for example,

custard dish) with 2-4 Tbsp (30-60 mL) water in center of container. Use 2 Tbsp (30 mL) water for smaller quantities or 4 Tbsp (60 mL) water for larger quantities of food. Place food in container around the small dish. Cover with loose-ﬁtting lid. Enter Steam time.

Sample approximate steam times:

■ Soft vegetables 1-3 min (ex.: spinach - 4 cups [1 L] 1 min)

■ Hard vegetables 3-6 min (ex.: broccoli - 2 cups [500 mL]

4 min)

■ Frozen vegetables 4-5 min

Use longer times for more doneness or when steaming larger quantities.

3 Manual Simmer

Rice: Add liquid and food to microwave-safe container. Cover with loose-ﬁtting lid. Enter simmer time. Simmer time will begin counting down after the sensor detects steam from boiling liquid.

Pasta: Add liquid to microwave-safe container. Cover with loose-ﬁtting lid. Enter simmer time of 1 second. Simmer time will begin counting down after the sensor detects steam from boiling liquid. When the microwave oven stops, remove container, remove the lid, and add the pasta. Re-cover and return the container to the microwave oven. Clear the display using the Cancel control, then reprogram the simmer function, and enter the new simmer time (ex.: dry spaghetti - 11-12 min).
