STEAMING TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
• Do not pack food too tightly in the steam baskets. Leave some space for steam to circulate as
much as possible.
• For best results, use pieces of food of approximately the same size (such as potatoes, vegetables
and chicken breasts) so that they cook at the same time. The size and thickness of the food
will alter the cooking time.
• Avoid lifting the lid to check on the cooking progress too often, as this allows loss of steam
and can lengthen the cooking time.
• If recipes require the use of cling film, always use the all purpose type suitable for use in
microwave ovens. Cling film is often used to prevent condensation forming and spoiling
delicates foods such as egg custards. Avoid using foil as this tends to increase the steaming
time.
• When choosing food for steaming, select suitable size food to fit the steaming basket,
especially if it is cooked whole such as fish.
• Subtle flavour can be given to steamed food with the addition of fresh herbs, slices of lemon
or orange, garlic and onion. These may be placed either directly underneath or on top of the
food in the steaming basket.
• To give meat, poultry and fish a delicious flavour plus make then moist and tender, marinade
for a few hours before steaming. The marinade can be as simple as a blend of wine and fresh
herbs, or it can be a spicy barbecue or tandoori mix.
• Frozen vegetables can be steamed without defrosting before. All shellfish, poultry and meat
must be completely thawed before steaming.
• For some recipes with a long cooking time, more than 45 minutes, you will need to top up with
more cold water during steaming using the water-refilling drawer.
• Always use oven gloves when handling the lid, baskets or rice bowl during or after cooking.
