1. To steam cook add water to the inner pot and place the steaming tray on top of
the inner rim of the pot.
2. Put the food in the steaming tray and place the lid on the cooker.
3. Plug it into a standard electrical outlet. The WARM indictor light will come
on. Push the ON switch down and the COOK indicator light will come on.
As the water boils in the inner pot steam will come out of the vent on the lid.
Do not place the cooker directly under your cabinet and take care not to place
your hand on top of the vent as well.
NOTE: Cooking will begin only when the ON switch is pushed down and the
inner pot is in position in the unit.
4. Steam until done to taste.
NOTE: When steaming vegetables while cooking rice, you may need to
increase the water to rice ratio based on the density of the vegetables you are
steaming.
5. When removing the lid after steaming puddings, custards or cakes, take care
not to allow water droplets from the lid to fall on the food.
NOTE: Steam cooking times will vary depending on the food being cooked
and the desired degree of doneness. Experiment with this healthy method of
cooking by varying the quantity of the water and the cooking time. This will
help you to obtain the best results to suit your individual taste.
