Sunbeam ST6610 - Manual (Page 14)

The following are some handy hints on steaming
your fish and seafood:
1. Place fish in the Steamer tray.
2. If fish or seafood is to be poached or cooked in a
sauce, use the Rice Cooker bowl.
3. Add lemon wedges, herbs and seasoning before
steaming, as desired.
4. Add butter or margarine after steaming, if
desired.
5. Fish is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork
and is opaque in colour.
6. Frozen fish may be steamed without defrosting,
except for fillets which need to be defrosted and
separated before steaming. Fillets are best
steamed in a single layer.
7. When steaming frozen fish, extend the steaming
time.
