of food such as peeled potatoes.
Take care to arrange the food so
that some of the holes in the bottom
of the tray remain clear, allowing
steam to flow.

Two trays

Always place the largest pieces of
food with the longest cooking time
in the lower steaming tray. Place
different foods in the upper and
lower trays, but as condensation will
drip from the upper tray be sure the
flavours complement each other.

f steaming meat, fish or poultry

I
together with vegetables, always

lace the meat, fish or poultry in the

p
lower tray so that juices from the
raw meat cannot drip onto other

oods.

f

Three trays

Always place the largest pieces of

ood with the longest cooking time

f
in the lower steaming tray.

Steaming times for food in the

pper tray are usually slightly longer

u
so allow an extra 3-5 minutes due
to a large volume of food being
cooked and due to extra time being
needed to reach temperature.

If foods with different cooking times
are being steamed start the food
with the longest cooking time in the
lower tray. If steaming meat, fish or
poultry together with vegetables,
always place the meat, fish or
poultry in the lower tray so that
juices from raw or partially cooked
meat cannot drip onto other foods.

B

0 Using oven gloves or a cloth,

1

promptly remove the steaming

rays.

t

Refilling reservoir

f steaming for a long period it may

I
be necessary to add extra water.

ater hole’ ‚ by using a suitable

w
filling jug.

Cooking rice

that allows you to cook rice to
perfection.

1 Add rice and water to the rice bowl

¤ in equal proportions.

2 Place the rice bowl with rice and

water, into a steaming tray, without
steam tube Í fitted.

3 Proceed as described previously for

steaming.

g

Steam tube usage

• To equalise cooking times in all
tiers, use the steam tube Í.

• Only use when you want to steam a
large quantity of one type of food.

‰.

2 Fit the drip tray „.

3 Fit the steaming tube Í to the drip

tray „.

4 Place the bottom steaming tray ·

over the steaming tube Í and align
the tube to the hole in the bottom of
the tray ·.

the timer Ê for the desired time.

Useful hints and tips

• Always ensure meat is placed below
other food types.

• Steaming times stated in the
cooking guide are only a guide.
Times may vary depending on size
of the food pieces, spacing of the
food in the steamer tray, quantity of
food, freshness of food and
personal preference. As you
become familiar with the steamer,
adjust the cooking times as
necessary.

• A single tray of food steams faster
than with 2 or 3 trays in use.
Therefore, the cooking time for a
larger quantity of food will be longer.

• For best results, be sure pieces of
food are similar in size. If pieces
vary in size and layering is required,
place smaller pieces on top.

• Do not crowd food in the steaming
trays or rice bowl ¤. Arrange the
food with spaces between pieces to
allow for maximum steam flow.

• Always use the drip tray „ to
prevent drips splashing.
