Steaming

Steamed foods retain most of their nutritional value when cooked in the multi cooker. Foods may be steamed by placing food in the stainless steel steaming tray over stock or water and covering with the glass lid. Keep the glass lid on while steaming food unless the recipe or chart specifically states to remove the lid. By removing the lid unnecessarily steam is lost and the cooking time will be extended.

1.Measure 3 rice scoops or more of water or stock and pour into the removable cooking bowl. Use up to a maximum of 6 rice scoop cups of water.

2.Place food to be steamed directly into the stainless steel steaming tray and insert into the removable cooking bowl. (Refer to the Steaming Charts on pages 20-22 for approximate cooking times).

3.Place removable cooking bowl with the steaming tray into housing and cover with the glass lid.

4.Plug power cord into a 230V or 240V power outlet. The STARTCANCEL button and RISOTTO button surround will illuminate in white.

5.Press the RICESTEAM setting then press the STARTCANCEL button to activate the setting. The STARTCANCEL button surround will illuminate red and cooking will commence.

6.When steaming is complete, the ready beeps will sound and the multi cooker will automatically switch to the KEEP WARM setting.

7.If no further steaming is required, press the STARTCANCEL button to cease operation and turn the multi cooker off at the power outlet and then unplug power cord. Allow to cool before cleaning.

NOTE

Keep the glass lid on while steaming food unless the recipe or chart specifically states to remove the lid. (By removing the lid unnecessarily, steam is lost and the cooking time will be extended.)

NOTE

Do not let the removable cooking bowl boil dry during steaming.

NOTE

Hot liquid can be added during the steaming process.

Hints and tips for steaming vegetables

•Smaller pieces will steam faster than larger pieces.

•Try to keep vegetables to a standard size to ensure even cooking.

•Fresh or frozen vegetables may be steamed.

•If steaming frozen vegetables, do not thaw.

•The size and shape of vegetables, as well as personal taste, may call for adjustments to the cooking time. If softer vegetables are required, allow extra cooking time.

•Do not allow water or stock to reach the stainless steel tray. The steaming will not be effective.

WARNING

Always lift and remove the lid carefully, angling it away from yourself to avoid scalding from escaping steam.
