Useful Hints:
*Steaming times stated in the charts and recipes are only a guide. Times may vary depending on the size of food pieces, spacing of the food in the Steamer Bow!, freshness of food, and personal preference. As you become familiar with the Steamer, adjust cooking times.
*A single layer of food steams faster than several layers. Therefore, the cooking time for a larger quantity of food will be increased. For example, 2 Ibs. of broccoli florets will need longer to steam than 1 lb.
*DO not add salt and seasoning to the Steaming Bowl until after COOking. This is to avoid possible damage to the heating element located in the Water Reservoir.

*All the times stated in the ‘Steaming Charts and Recipes” are based on the use of cold water i n t h e W a t e r R e s e r v o i r .
*The Rice Bowl is an ideal container for steaming other foods such as fruit. vegetables, puddings, quick breads, etc.
Using two Steaming bowls
If steaming meat or poultry and vegetables, always place the meat or poultry in the lower bowl so that juices from raw or partially cooked meat cannot drip onto other foods.
•Steaming times for food in the stacking bowl are usually slightly longer so allow an extra 5 minutes.
-If foods with different cooking times are being steamed, start the food with the longest cooking time in the lower bowl. Then when the remaining steaming time reaches that of food with the shortest cooking time, carefully remove the lid with oven mitts and place the Separator Ring and stacking basket on top. Cover with lid and continue cooking.
Storage and Maintenance
Allow appliances to cool completely before storing. Store Food Steamer in a dry location such as on a table top or counter top, or in a cupboard shelf. Wind the electrical cord into a coil and secure with a twist fastener.
Other than the recommended cleaning no further user maintenance should be necessary. R e t u r n t h e F o o d S t e a m e r t o o u r H a t t i e s,b u r g MS, Service Center for servicing or repairs
