COOKING HINTS

Spread food out evenly in pans and do not allow food to protrude above pans. This will interfere with steam circulation between pans in the compartment.

Preheating of compartments is necessary for satisfactory results except for VHL2 & VHL3 steamers with Pre-Vent Automatic Controls.

When time does not allow for defrosting of frozen vegetables, such as loose-pack peas, corn, diced carrots, etc., they may be cooked at once, provided you use just half of the suggested portions in the following cooking chart.

SUGGESTED COOKING GUIDELINES

The following table lists suggested cooking times and weights. These suggested guidelines are approximate; they will vary depending on initial product temperature, size, shape, etc. and should be adjusted to suit your operation.
