FOR STEAMING
Steam cooking
Cooking food through steaming is a healthy and quick way to
cook a wide variety of foods. Whether in preparation for baby
food, for diet reasons or for pure fl avor, steam cooking prepares
food at a very high heat and can overcook quickly.
You may steam up to 1.3 Qts. of food ( about 5 cups) at a time.
Steaming times are estimates and depend on the quantity, size
and temperature of food. Consider all the cook times given in
the Egg Cooking & Food Steaming Chart as suggestions.
