PROTECTION
The packaging of your product is recyclable.
Do not dispose of it with the rest of your waste
but rather recycle the packaging or bring it to
your nearest recycling facility. Your appliance
has been designed to work for many years.
However, when you finally decide to replace
your old product, remember to think of what
you can do to help to protect the environment
by disposing of it at your local waste disposal
centre. You can also dispose of your product at
your nearest Authorized Service Center
(depending on your country).

INTRODUCTION
Now you can make a great tasting, healthy meal in minutes with your
new Emerilware™ Steamer by T-fal®. Because it’s designed to steam
faster and lock in flavors, foods taste better. At the same time, more
vitamins and minerals are preserved.
Because Emeril knows you’re always in a hurry for something good,
he’s given you three separate steaming compartments, so you can
cook three different things at the same time.
Two compartments are sized at 10 1⁄2 cups each. A non-stick,
reversible cooking tray across the top gives you more cooking
flexibility. Plus, the stainless steel baskets can even be removed to
steam larger foods.
Your new Steamer is also carefully designed to keep juices from
mixing together. So everything comes out nice and flavorful.
So what are you waiting for? A healthy dinner of succulent shrimp with
Emeril’s Essence, fluffy rice and fresh asparagus is just minutes away.
