MIRACLE STEAMER

Steaming Tips

•Pre-cooked pasta is easily reconstituted, and gives you a hot product without the wetness of the nor- mal “dip” method.

•Experiment with your products and different steam- ing times–a little more or less steam could change the appearance/flavor.

•If you serve melted cheese on sandwiches, steam is the perfect way to melt cheese.

•A steamed bun (which takes about 10-15 seconds) says “Hot Sandwich” to your customer.

•Vegetables, rice and bread products can be recon- stituted by steaming before serving which reduces waste.

•Dinner rolls, muffins, even tortillas can be heated completely and held without drying out the product.

•Use a low plate or pan when steaming to allow full steam penetration and shorter cooking times.

•Use the “1 in 20” rule: Push the operate switch for one second every twenty seconds. This will ensure that the product gets fully heated without using excess water or energy.

•Condensation inside the steamer is normal, but excess moisture indicates too much water is being used. Use the “1 in 20” rule above to correct this problem. Also, examine the steam generator, it may require cleaning.

•Heat meat and bread products apart from each other, then combine in a sandwich. This will keep the meat juices from soaking the bread.

A hi-limit thermostat will turn off electrical power to the heater if the unit overheats. To reset this thermostat, allow sufficient time (about 45 minutes) for the unit to cool down, remove the cap and then fully depress the reset button located on the rear of the unit (Figure 7).

If the unit requires continuous resetting, contact your Roundup authorized service agency.
