• For eggs cooked in the shell, adding salt to the cooking water increases cooking efficiency and decreases cooking
time. If the egg cracks, the white is cooked at the crack and is sealed right away.
• To avoid green yolk (which is a deposit of iron sulfide) chill the eggs immediately after removing from the steamer by
plunging them into a cold water bath (preferably containing ice).
• A quick and easy way to cook eggs for a salad mixture is to crack them directly into a solid steam table pan which has
been lightly coated with salad oil. Do not mix. Steam until they are hard cooked. Remove and chop as you would for
egg salad. The job of peeling is eliminated.
• Transfer steamed hot chicken to deep pan, cover with Cacciatore Sauce and finish in oven. Bake 20 to 30 minutes.
May be held on steam table.
• Chicken, sausage, and/or fish may be browned in Infra-Red or Radiant Broiler after steaming by brushing with melted
margarine mixed with salad oil to give a golden brown color.
• Save juices from steamed chicken or turkey to make soups, sauces, or casserole dishes.
• Chicken may be steamed in advance and refrigerated for next day’s use. Be sure to bring product back to 180°F
before serving.
• Save the juice from the corned beef. After the cabbage has been steamed, place it in a solid pan and add the juice for
flavoring and holding on a steam table.
• Steami ng brisk et is a defi nite time sa ver. Boil ing in wa ter take s 40 to 50 mi nutes pe r pound. Using the st eamer c an
save 50% in cooking time.
• Cabbage, when steamed, retains its color and wedge identity. It will not break apart as it does when boiled in an open
pot.
• When removing items prepared in a perforated pan, place a solid pan underneath the perforated pan with the cooked
food in order to prevent dripping on the floor.
• The steamer is designed to accept standard 12" x 20" pans. Fractional size pans and dishes can be used as well with
the optional perforated shelf.
• For stirring, the pan does not have to be removed from the steamer. Pull pan 1/3 way out of the cavity and the entire
surface is accessible.
• The door may be opened at any time during operation to remove or add food.
