Philips Avance Collection Cuiseur Vapeur - Manual (Page 9)

- You can use the soup bowl (specific types only) to make soup or pudding, to cook rice, to
poach fish, to prepare vegetables in sauce and to cook marinated food. You can also use a
lightweight bowl that fits inside the steaming baskets to prepare these ingredients. In this case,
make sure that there is some free space around the bowl to allow proper steam circulation
inside the steamer.
- Specific types only: The soup bowl is intended for preparing soup, other liquid food and fish.
When you want to use the soup bowl, put it in the large steaming basket (3) (Fig. 9).
- Specific types only: When you take out the removable bottom from the large steaming basket
(3) to create a larger basket with the medium steaming basket (2) underneath, you can still
place the soup bowl to prepare fish, rice or soup on top (Fig. 10).
- To steam large-sized foods (e.g. whole chickens, corn cobs), you can remove the removable
bottoms from the medium steaming basket (2) and the large steaming basket (3) to create one
large basket.
Note: The maximum capacity of the steaming baskets is 1kg.
7 Put one or more steaming baskets on the drip tray. Place the baskets properly and make
sure they do not wobble (Fig. 11).
- You do not have to use all 3 steaming baskets.
- The steaming baskets are numbered from 1 to 3. You find the numbers of the steaming baskets
on their handles. You can stack any larger basket on top of a smaller basket, but the baskets fit
best if you stack them in logical ascending order: the smallest basket (1) first, then the medium
basket (2) and then the large basket (3). Always use the drip tray under the steaming baskets
and only use steaming baskets that are filled with food (Fig. 12).
- When you take out the removable bottom from the medium steaming basket (2) to create a
larger basket with the small steaming basket (1) underneath, you can still place the large
steaming basket (3) on top.
8 Put the lid on the top steaming basket (Fig. 13).
Note: If the lid is not or not correctly placed on the steaming basket, the food does not get steamed
properly.
