Cooking

Food (with the exception of frozen vegetables) to be steam

cooked must be completely defrosted. Do not salt products before

cooking and do not use food dressings. Sauces, seasonings and

food dressings should be added after cooking. The tables pre-

sented below contain recommendations on cooking different prod-

ucts provided that these products are laid in one layer. If several

containers are used, the cooking time will increase since the same

amount of vapor is employed for a bigger volume of products. If

you put products in upper containers, cooking time shall also be

increased.

Do not forget: the further products are away from the heating

element, the longer the food cooking process will be. Cooking time

should be increased if products are layered in the basket. In this

case, all slices of the product must be either of equal size, or

bigger slices must be laid on the bottom.

To determine the exact cooking time and achieve the desired

result, you will need to experiment at first. If you are using a food

steamer for the first time, follow the guidelines written in the tables

or tips on the base (10), checking the degree of food readiness

from time to time.

Always put meat and chicken in the lowest basket this is to

prevent liquid coming into contact with other foods. The liquids

gathered in the steam condensing tank can be used for making

the sauce or gravy.

Remember that fish is ready when it is white and flaky. Meat is

ready when the juices run clear. Cook greens like cabbage, broc-

coli, etc., very quickly to keep a good colour and texture.

Keeping an eye on cooking time is necessary. If you noticed

that most of the product in the basket is ready, turn it over using a

long handled spoon and oven gloves. Upon finishing the cooking

time, immediately remove the containers from the food steamer,

otherwise the cooking process continues. Put the containers on a

dish or food-tray to let any remaining water disappear. Then

serve your foods.
