· Food should not be left
in the cooker on Keep
Warm for more than 12
hours.
· Cooking times are
approximate. Altitude,
humidity and outside
temperature will aect
cooking times.
· Since most vegetables
only absorb a small
amount of water, there
is no need to increase
the amount of water
when steaming a large
serving of vegetables.
· To ensure meat tastes
its best, and to prevent
possible illness, check
that meat is completely
cooked prior to serving.
If it is not, simply place
more water in the inner
pot and repeat the
cooking process until
the meat is cooked.
· For best results when
steaming, use 2 cups of
water with the provided
measuring cup.

dish and then placed
onto the steam tray.
Parchment paper or
aluminum foil may be

tray. For best results,
it is recommended to
puncture small holes in
the paper/foil.
