The sequence is precisely reversed for
storing, when the steamer baskets 5 fit inside
one another to save space.
7.2 Boiling eggs
The steamer can also be used to boil eggs.
For this purpose, there are 6 depressions in
the base of each steamer basket 5 into
which you can place the eggs.
If you use all 3 steamer baskets 5, this
means you can boil up to 18 eggs at once.
Please note when doing this that the eggs in
the bottom steamer basket will be ready
somewhat sooner than the eggs in the
steamer baskets above.
7.3 Cooking rice and liquids
Sauces or other liquids, fruit and rice can be
heated and cooked in rice tray 4 supplied.
1. Put the rice, the right amount of water
and a pinch of salt in rice tray 4.
2. Put the rice tray in any steamer basket 5.
Note If you are using several steamer
baskets, the rice tray should be placed in
the top basket so that nothing drips into
the rice.
Warning! When removing
the lid, 3 make sure you are not
hit by a cloud of hot steam and
also ensure that no
condensation drips into the
rice.
3. Stir the rice occasionally.
7.4 Preparing whole meals
If you are preparing a whole meal and are
therefore using several steamer baskets one
above the other, please note that:
• the heaviest food for cooking should be
cooked in the bottom basket if at all
possible;
• as the steam acts most effectively in the
bottom steamer basket and less so as it
travels upwards, cooking time in the
upper baskets is extended by a few
minutes. You should therefore follow the
instructions in “6.2 Checking whether
food is cooked” on page 8.
• stir or rearrange the cooking food
occasionally with a long cooking spoon.
1. Put the food which is going to take
longest to cook in steamer basket 1.
Exception: meat and fish should
always be cooked in the bottom steamer
basket so that dripping juices do not run
over the other foods;
2. Put this steamer basket in the steamer
and start cooking (see “6.1 Cooking”
on page 8).
3. Fill steamer basket 2 with the food which
will take a moderate time to cook.
Warning! A cloud of hot steam
may escape if you remove the lid 3
without sufficient caution during the
cooking process.
4. Carefully open the lid 3 by lifting it
slightly at the back first, so that the steam
can escape away from you.
5. Take the lid 3 right off.
6. Put steamer basket 2 on steamer basket
1 and close the lid 3 again.
7. Fill steamer basket 3 with the food which
will take the least time to cook.
8. Proceed as for steamer basket 2.
