| 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 |
| 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. |
