COOKINGCHART
HelpfulTips:
• Times are based on a cold start and using cold tap water.
• Use foods directly from where they are stored, for example, refrigerator or freezer.
• Use inverted lid to hold hot cooking basket.
• Stir vegetables halfway through cooking cycle.
• Times are to be used as a guide; increase or decrease time according to personal
preference.
• Solid foods such as chicken, fish steaks and fillets should be placed in single layer.
• When using multiple baskets:
- The longest cooking foods should be placed in the bottom steaming basket
- Foods placed in the higher basket will take longer to cook than the times given
in this chart.
