keep warm function
The flavour and nutritional value of
steamed food is best when freshly
cooked. However, should you wish
to keep food warm for a short period
of time, select ‘KEEP WARM’ on the
menu and if necessary adjust the
time accordingly.
8 Unplug and clean after use.
important
At the end of the cooking cycle your
steamer will automatically switch
to the keep warm setting for 20
minutes. During this time the
steamer will cycle on and off, so take
care as steam may be produced
when you’re not expecting it.
To switch the steamer off or to
cancel the keep warm setting, press
and hold down the ‘STOP’ button.
hints
●
Condensation will drip from the
upper basket into the lower basket.
So make sure the flavours go well
together.
●
Liquid left over in the drip tray is
good for making soup or stock. But
be careful: it will be very hot.
●
You can also use the rice bowl for
cooking anything in liquid (eg
vegetables in sauces or poaching
fish in water).
●
Leave gaps between pieces of food.
And put the thicker pieces nearer the
outside.
●
Stir large amounts half way through
cooking.
●
Smaller amounts cook faster than
larger amounts.
●
Similar-sized pieces of food cook evenly.
●
Like a conventional oven, you can add
food as you go along. If something
needs less time, add it later.
●
If you lift the lid, steam will escape
and cooking will take longer.
●
The cooking times on pages 6 - 7
are guides based on using the lower
basket. The higher the food is, the
slower it cooks. So allow an extra
5 - 10 minutes for food in the next
basket above. Check that food is
thoroughly cooked before eating.
●
If your food's not cooked enough,
reset the time. You may need to top
up with water.
using the steam tube
Use the steam tube when you want
to cook large quantities of the same
food such as fruit or vegetables at
the same time.
1 Place equal amounts of the same
food in each tier. (Where appropriate
the food should be cut into equal
size pieces).
2 Follow steps 1 to 4 ‘to use your
steamer’.
3 Fit the assembled tray marked 1 into
the steamer.
4 Place the steam tube upright in the
centre of the bottom tray, then fit the
assembled tray 2 over the steam
tube. When using the steam tube
the disc should be removed.
5 Fi the assembled tray 3 on the top.
