HINTS, TIPS AND FOOD SAFETY

• 

Don’t worry too much about overcooking. Steaming is a relatively gentle cooking method and a few 

minutes extra generally won’t matter.

• 

To allow the steam to circulate:

a)  Pack food loosely in the baskets.

b)  Whenever possible, use single layers of food.

c)  Leave spaces between the pieces.

d)  When layering food in a basket, leave spaces between the pieces in each layer to let 

the steam circulate through the layers.

• 

Ensure the water level always remain above the Min mark of the water level window.

• 

The steaming lid should be kept on at all times during steaming.

• 

Arrange food in a single layer.

• 

Uniformly cut foods will steam more evenly.

• 

Stir food halfway through a longer steam cycle for more even steaming.   

• 

Foods that require longer cooking times should be placed in lower steaming baskets.

• 

Place foods that require gentle steaming or shorter cooking times in higher baskets.

• 

You’ll need to experiment to find the times which suit your favourite foods and food combinations.

• 

Use the rice bowl to cook any foods that are in a sauce or liquid.

• 

Poultry or fish juices may drip and transfer flavours. To help prevent this, wrap them in foil.

• 

Don’t use mussels that are open prior to cooking. Steam until the shells open fully, and discard any 

that aren’t open after cooking.

• 

Cook meat, poultry, etc. until the juices run clear. Cook fish till the flesh is opaque throughout.

• 

You should cook leaf vegetables as little as possible, to keep them green and crisp. Plunging them 

into iced water will stop the cooking process.
