1. When placing food into the Steamer Baskets, make certain not to
block all of the Steam Holes in the Inserts. This is especially impor-
tant when cooking with multiple Steamer Baskets. There must be
adequate air circulation around the food to ensure even steaming
on all levels.
nOTe: When steaming large quantities of food, it may become neces-
sary to rearrange the food. Use protective oven mitts to remove the
Lid. Always tilt Lid away from your face when removing to avoid burns
caused from steam. Gently move food; then replace Lid immediately
when nished.
2. Experiment with various vegetables and combinations. Using the
recipes and the Cooking Guide supplied in this booklet, you may
experiment and adjust your cooking times to your personal taste.
3. Make sure that the water reaches the MAX water line. Add more
water as necessary.
