10cm free space around it to prevent overheating.
Beware of the hot steam that comes out of the food steamer during steaming or when you

Only ll the water tank with water. Never put seasoning, oil, or other substances in the water
tank.
3 Place the drip tray 1 on the water tank in the base (Fig. 3).
Note: Never use the appliance without the drip tray.
4 If desired, put dried or fresh herbs or spices on the avour booster to add extra avour to
the food to be steamed (Fig. 4).
ENGLISH8
Thyme, coriander, basil, dill, curry and tarragon are some of the exciting herbs and spices that you
can put on the avour booster. You can combine them with garlic, caraway or horseradish to
enhance avour without adding salt. We advise you to use 1/2 to 3tsp of dried herbs or spices. Use
more if you use fresh herbs or spices.
For suggested herbs or spices for various types of food, see the food steaming table in chapter ‘Food
table and steaming tips’.
Tip: If you use ground herbs or spices, rinse the drip tray to wet the avour booster. This prevents ground
herbs or spices from falling through the openings of the avour booster (Fig. 5).
5 Put the food to be steamed in one or both steaming bowls and/or in the soup/rice bowl.
Do not put too much food in the steaming bowls. Arrange the food with ample space between
-
the pieces to allow maximum steam ow.
Always place meat and poultry in the bottom steaming bowl, so that juices from raw or partially
cooked meat or poultry cannot drip onto other foods.
Place larger pieces of food and food that requires a longer steaming time in the bottom
steaming bowl.
Put eggs on the egg holders to steam eggs conveniently (Fig. 6).
-
6 Put one or both steaming bowls on the drip tray. If you want to use the soup/rice bowl, place
it in the top steaming bowl. Make sure you place the bowls properly and that they do not
wobble (Fig. 7).
You do not have to use both steaming bowls.
-
The steaming bowls are numbered. You nd the number on their handles.The top steaming
bowl is no. 3 and the bottom steaming bowl is no. 2.
Only stack the steaming bowls in the following order: steaming bowl 2 and steaming bowl 3.
The soup/rice bowl is intended for steaming rice, soup or other liquid food. When you want to
use the soup/rice bowl, put it in the top steaming bowl.
If you steam large quantities of food, stir the food halfway through the steaming process. Wear
oven mitts and use a kitchen utensil with a long handle.
Food in the top bowl takes usually a little longer to steam than food in the lower bowl.
If you want to steam foods that require different steaming times, start steaming the food that
requires the longest steaming time in bowl 2. Set the steaming time adjustment knob to a time
that you calculate by deducting the shortest steaming time from the longest steaming time.
When the steaming is nished, carefully remove the lid with oven mitts and place bowl 3
containing the ingredients with the shorter steaming time on top of bowl 2. Put the lid on
bowl 3 and set the shorter steaming time with the steaming time adjustment knob.
7 Put the lid on the top steaming bowl (Fig. 8).

Tips for steaming food
Vegetables and fruits
Cut off thick stems from cauliower, broccoli and cabbage.
Steam leafy, green vegetables for the shortest possible time, because they lose colour easily.
-
Do not thaw frozen vegetables before you steam them.
-
Meat, poultry, seafood and eggs
Tender pieces of meat with a little fat are most suitable for steaming.
Wash meat properly and dab it dry, so that as little juice as possible drips out.
Always place meat below other food types.
Puncture eggs before you put them in the steamer.
-
Never steam frozen meat, poultry or seafood. Always let frozen meat, poultr y or seafood thaw
completely before you put it in the steamer.
If you use both steaming bowls, condensation drips from the upper steaming bowl into the
-
lower steaming bowl. Make sure the avours of the food in the steaming bowls go well together.
You can also use the rice/soup bowl to prepare vegetables in sauces or to poach sh in water.
Leave gaps between the pieces of food. Put thicker pieces nearer the outside of the steaming
bowl.
If the steaming bowl is very full, stir the food halfway through the steaming process.
Small amounts of food require a shorter steaming time than large amounts.
If you only use one steaming bowl, the food requires a shorter steaming time than when you
use 2 steaming bowls.
