Solid pans are good for cooking puddings, rice, and hot breakfast cereals. Vegetables and fruits are cooked in solid pans in their own juice. Meats and poultry are cooked in solid pans to preserve their juice or retain broth.

Canned foods can be heated in their opened cans (cans placed in 12" x 20" [30 x 50.8 cm] solid pans) or the contents may be poured into solid pans. DO NOT place unopened cans in the steamer.

Frozen Food Items

Separate frozen foods into smaller pieces to allow more efficient cooking.

Use a pan cover for precooked frozen dishes that cannot be cooked in the covered containers that they are packed, if they require more than 15 minutes of cooking time. When a cover is used, approximately one-third additional cooking time is necessary.

Cooking time for frozen foods depends on the amount of defrosting required. If time permits, allow frozen foods to partially thaw overnight in a refrigerator. This will reduce their cooking time.

Acceptable Pan Sizes

The steamer accommodates combinations of 12" x 20" (30 x 50.8 cm) pans, solid or perforated.

DRAINING STEAM GENERATOR

Drain the steam generator after each day's use to flush out minerals and minimize scale build-up. The steam generator drains automatically for approximately 4 – 6 minutes after the main power switch is turned OFF.

CLEANING

1.Turn main power switch OFF.

2.Remove pans and racks from compartment and wash in sink.

3.Wash compartment interior with clean water.

Never use steel wool or abrasive scouring pads. They will scratch and ruin the general surface appearance of the steamer.
