Tips for steaming food
Do not steam food larger than 1½ inch thick. It may hit the inner lid and may not cook well.• Cut off thick stems from cauliower, broccoli and cabbage.
Do not thaw frozen vegetables before you steam them. Never steam frozen meat, poultry or seafood. Always let frozen meat, poultry or seafood thaw completely before you put it in the steamer. Wash meat properly and pat it dry, so that as little juice as possible drips out. Tender pieces of meat with a little fat are most suitable for steaming.
Wrap sh and meat in aluminum foil to prevent them from sticking to steaming basket. Wrapping
also provides moister cooking. Puncture eggs before steaming to prevent shells cracking. Always keep the lid closed during the entire steaming process. Opening the lid causes a loss of heat and steam, resulting in a slower cooking time. Make sure the food is well done before you eat it. If the food is not done, set a longer steaming time. You may need to put some more water in the inner pot.

Note: The above table is the approximate cooking time. The actual cooking time may vary, depending
on the voltage, room temperature, humidity and amount of water used. *[Small portion Plain] requires less cooking time than other submenus and is advised to cook not

Page 40
40 EN
Use only Italian shor t-grain rice (e.g. Arborio, Carnaroli, Vialone) for better tasting risotto. NEVER wash the rice. Every bit of the rice starch helps make risotto creamy. It is important to add hot stock, not cold, to the rice during the cooking process for better cooking result. The quantity of liquid suggested in the recipes is always approximate. In actual cooking, you should be prepared to use more, or sometimes less, as the risotto itself requires. Use hot water if the stock has been used up before the rice is fully cooked. Perfectly cooked risotto should not be hard and stick to the serving spoon, nor should it be
so liquid that it runs off your plate. The texture should be supple and uid, with a creamy,
slightly soupy consistency, but with body.

Note: Follow “Steam Cooking Menu” section for details operating procedure of the Variety Cooker. Tips for steaming food
Do not steam food larger than 1½ inch thick. It may hit the inner lid and may not cook well.• Cut off thick stems from cauliower, broccoli and cabbage.
Do not thaw frozen vegetables before you steam them. Never steam frozen meat, poultry or seafood. Always let frozen meat, poultry or seafood thaw completely before you put it in the steamer. Wash meat properly and pat it dry, so that as little juice as possible drips out. Tender pieces of meat with a little fat are most suitable for steaming.
Wrap sh and meat in aluminum foil to prevent them from sticking to steaming basket. Wrapping
also provides moister cooking. Puncture eggs before steaming to prevent shells cracking. Always keep the lid closed during the entire steaming process. Opening the lid causes a loss of heat and steam, resulting in a slower cooking time. Make sure the food is well done before you eat it. If the food is not done, set a longer steaming time. You may need to put some more water in the inner pot.
