STEAMING

Your skillet may include a square metal wire rack for steaming. If a steaming rack is not included, a metal wire rack that fits into the bottom of the skillet and is about ½-inch high can be used providing it has smooth support legs that will not scratch the non-stick interior.

Follow these guidelines for steaming foods in your skillet:

1.Place steaming rack into bottom of skillet and add 2 to 3 cups of water. Place food to be steamed directly on rack in a single layer to ensure even cooking. Cover skillet.

2.Steam food at 225º until desired or recommended doneness is obtained. See Steam Guide. If food is steamed more than 20 minutes, more water may need to be added to prevent skillet from boiling dry. ALWAYS REMOVE COVER CAREFULY DUE TO ESCAPING STEAM. After steaming, turn skillet OFF and unplug cord from electrical outlet. Remove food from rack and allow skillet to cool before cleaning.
