QUsing Several Steam Trays

jPlace the largest food or this with the longest steaming time (e.g. also rice) in the lower steam tray 6 .

jPlease note that the steaming times in the up- per 3 and middle steam tray 4 increase by 5 – 10 minutes. Consider this when setting the steaming time.

jTaste of foods can spread through condensed water. Therefore, generally place meat and fish in the lower steam tray 6 . Let the lower steam tray 6 empty if you want to prepare food with longer steaming time first. Place then fish or meat

in the lower steam tray 6 at the desired time.

ATTENTION! HAZARD OF BURNS! Always lift the cover 1 slowly, turning away from you and let the steam exhaust backwards. Do not bend over the appliance during steam generation. Use oven cloths when touching the cover 1 and the steam trays 3 , 4 , 6 . Use a long fork or tongs when checking if the food is done.

jPlace the food with the longer steaming time in the lower steam tray 6 , if you want to prepare food with different steaming times. Carefully remove the cover 1 and place the next steam tray 3 , 4 on top of the lower when the steam- ing time is that of the food to be steamed. Place the cover 1 carefully on top again.

Useful tips

The steaming times shown in the chart are only approximate. Times can vary according to the size of food, quantities in the steaming trays 3 , 4 , 6 , the freshness of food and personal tastes. When you are more familiar with the steamer, you can adjust the steaming times.

jPlease note that one layer of food will steam more quickly than several layers. Therefore, the steaming time increases with the quantity of food, e.g. 1000 g of cauliflower florets require longer than 500 g.

jMake sure that all pieces are of a similar size. So you achieve an optimal result. If pieces are of different sizes and have to be layered, place

Initial Operation

the smaller pieces on top.

jDo not cram food into the steam trays 3 , 4 ,

6. Leave enough room between the pieces to ensure a good supply of steam circulation.

jWhen steaming larger amounts, stir the food with a long-handled spoon after half of the steaming time.

jNever steam frozen meat, poultry or seafood. Always thaw everything completely first.

jAll of the times shown in the steaming chart apply to their use with cold water. To slightly reduce steaming times, use warm (not boiling) water.

jThe rice bowl 2 is an ideal container for steaming other food such as fruit, vegetables, puddings etc.

Q Steamingchart

The steaming times shown in the chart are only ap- proximate. Times can vary according to the size of food, quantities in the steaming trays 3 , 4 , 6 , the freshness of foods and personal tastes. There- fore, we recommend checking the condition with a long utensil (fork or skewer) towards the end of the set steaming time. The steaming times apply to the quantities shown in the chart. If not specified other- wise, all steaming times refer to the use of the lower steam tray 6 . Food in the upper 3 and middle steam trays 4 requires 5 - 10 minutes longer.

All times shown in the chart apply to their use with cold water.
