Food Steaming Guide
IngredientsAmountSteaming time (min)Suggested herbs/spices for better taste
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 cauliower, 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.

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 cauliower, 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.
