Useful hints and tips
•Steaming times stated in the cooking guide are only a guide. Times may vary depending on the size of the food pieces, spacing of the food in the steamer bowl, quantity of food, freshness of food and personal preference. As you become familiar with the steamer, adjust the cooking times as necessary.
•A single bowl of food steams faster than with 2 or 3 bowls in use. Therefore, the cooking time for a larger quantity of food will be longer.
•For best results, be sure pieces of food are similar in size. If pieces vary in size and layering is required, place smaller pieces on top.
•Do not crowd food in steaming bowl or rice bowl. Arrange the food with spaces between pieces to allow for maximum steam flow.
•Always use the drip tray to prevent drips splashing.
•Never steam meat, poultry or seafood from frozen. Always completely thaw first.
