Vegetables and fruits
- Cut off thick stems from cauliower, 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, poultry, sh or eggs below other food types, to prevent dripping of juices.
- Puncture eggs before you put them in the steamer.
- Never steam frozen meat, poultry or seafood. Always let frozen meat, poultry or seafood thaw
completely before you put it in the steamer.
Sweet deserts
- Add some cinnamon to desserts to enhance sweetness instead of adding more sugar.
General tips
- Specic types only: To prepare rice, you have to add water to the rice in the soup bowl. For the
amounts, see the food steaming table above.
- When you have nished cooking rice, switch off the appliance, stir the rice and leave it in the
bowl with the lid on it for 5 minutes. This gives and even better result.
- You can use the soup bowl (specic types only) to make soup or pudding, to cook rice, to poach
sh, to prepare vegetables in sauce and to cook marinated food. You can also use a lightweight
bowl that ts inside the steaming baskets to prepare these ingredients. In this case, make sure that
there is some free space around the bowl to allow proper steam circulation inside the steamer.
- Leave some space between the pieces of food and evenly distribute the food over the bottom
of the basket.
- If the steaming basket 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 basket, the food requires a shorter steaming time than when you
use 2 or 3 steaming baskets.
- If you use more than one steaming basket, let the food cook 5-10 minutes longer.
- Food is ready more quickly in the small steaming basket (1) than in the steaming baskets on top.
- Make sure that the food is well done before you eat. This is particularly important for meat like
pork, minced beef and chicken.
- You can add food or baskets lled with food during the steaming process. If an ingredient needs
a shorter steaming time, add it later.
- Food continues to be steamed for some time when the steamer switches to the keep-warm
mode. If the food is already very well done, remove it from the steamer when the steaming
process ends and the appliance switches to keep-warm mode.
- If the food is not done, set a longer steaming time. You may need to put some more water in
the water tank.
- The steamer can be used to warm up ready-made soup in the soup bowl (specic types only)
or a lightweight bowl that ts inside the steaming baskets. Heating up 250ml soup takes approx.
10 minutes.
