Table of cooking times
The longest time corresponds to the food being cooked in the top bowl. We advise that you place larger food or
food requiring a longer cooking time in the lower bowl.
Cooking times are approximate and use the lower basket, unless stated otherwise. Times may vary depending on
the amount of food, size of the food, the space between the food, using a different bowl level and individual
preferences. For larger or smaller quantities, adjust the cooking time accordingly. Cooking times may be increased
when using more than one bowl to steam food.
Check food near the end of cooking, especially vegetables and fruit, as an extra few minutes can result in over
cooked food.
