7When you have finished using the unit, turn the Function Dial to “Off”, unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely before handling.
Steam Infused Cooking:
Steam Infused Cooking cooks foods fast and healthy all by the introduction of steam during the cooking process. The Steam Roasting technique can be applied to a variety of meats you would traditionally roast in your oven. Some cuts of meat benefit from searing BEFORE roasting while other cuts benefit from searing AFTER roasting, refer to the recipes in the included Inspiration Guide.
1No preheating is required when searing before roasting.
2Most meats can be seared for less than 10 minutes. You do not want to cook the meat, simply brown the meat to add color.
3Add water to the bottom of the cooking pot. In general, 1 cup of water equals 10 minutes of steam time.
4If additional water is required during the cooking process, cautiously lift the lid away from you and add room temperature water. Water should NOT exceed the roasting rack or touch the food as that will result in poaching.
Use caution when placing hot meats on roasting rack.
CAUTION: DO NOT add any liquids to the base of the main housing of the appliance.
