Few foods steam in the same amount of

 

time so it will be necessary to plan the

 

steaming time for each food. You can

 

add a second food after the first one

 

has steamed for a while; you can also

 

remove the Bowl Divider before food in

 

the Steaming Bowl is done. Here are

 

some basic guidelines for using the

 

Bowl Divider feature.

GUIDELINES:

 

Always place the Bowl Divider in the Steaming Bowl prior

 

to the start of steaming (even if empty and food is to be

 

added later.)

 

If steaming foods with different water levels, always use the

 

higher water level of the 2 foods. Refer to Steaming Guide for

 

water levels to use for each food.

 

Prepare foods as recommended in the Steaming Guide, but

 

generally quantities should be reduced to:

 

3 cups or less in Steaming Bowl

 

2 cups or less in Bowl Divider - largest position

 

1 1/4 cups or less in Bowl Divider - smallest position

 

Position larger amount of food in the Steaming Bowl. Reserve

 

smaller food amount for Bowl Divider.

 

Foods can be started at the same time, or 1 food started in the

 

Steaming Bowl, or Bowl Divider, and the second one added 5

 

or 10 minutes later.

 

Stir vegetables every 10-15 minutes; after 7-8 minutes for

 

vegetables that cook in 15 minutes or less. This promotes

 

more even cooking.

 

Check doneness of vegetables often. Generally they will take

 

a little longer than when the Bowl Divider is not used, but

 

not always. Time will depend upon the amount and size of the

 

food pieces.
