Guide to Recipes

The recipes in this book are just a sampling of the wide variety of foods that you can prepare.

When preparing the recipe, be sure to use the steamer basket or rice bowl as directed. The water

required in the inner water reser- voir and approximate cooking time is listed under each recipe.

Multi-step recipes indicate two or more volumes of water and two or

more steaming times. This method allows for the stirring of food, addi- tion of ingredients, or when required total steaming time exceeds maxi- mum capacity of the steamer.

For multi-step recipes, steam the first time using initial amount of water indicated. When cooking ends, follow other directions, if any (the addition ofingredients, stirring, etc.). A second amount of water is then added to the inner water reser-

voir, and steaming resumes. '
