For Best Results
The cooking times stated in this booklet are a guide only. The steaming time required for specific foods is affected by the following:
•The size, quality and the temperature of the food.
•The degree to which you like your food cooked.
•The temperature of the water used for steaming.
To ensure good results using your VitaSteam Electronic, follow these simple tips: –
•Remove food soon after the steaming cycle is completed. Food will continue to cook slightly with the keep warm function.
•Food should be arranged evenly in all steamer bowls. Foods of uniform size will steam at a similar rate.
