Philips HD9110 - Manual (Page 8)

Thyme, coriander, basil, dill, curry and tarragon are some of the exciting herbs and spices that you
can put on the flavour booster. You can combine them with garlic, caraway or horseradish to
enhance flavour without adding salt. We advise you to use 1/2 to 3tsp of dried herbs or spices. Use
more if you use fresh herbs or spices.
For suggested herbs or spices for various types of food, see the food steaming table in chapter ‘Food
table and steaming tips’.
Tip: If you use ground herbs or spices, rinse the drip tray to wet the flavour booster. This prevents ground
herbs or spices from falling through the openings of the flavour booster (Fig. 5).
5 Put the food to be steamed in one or both steaming bowls and/or in the soup/rice bowl.
- Do not put too much food in the steaming bowls. Arrange the food with ample space between
the pieces to allow maximum steam flow.
- Always place meat and poultry in the bottom steaming bowl, so that juices from raw or partially
cooked meat or poultry cannot drip onto other foods.
- Place larger pieces of food and food that requires a longer steaming time in the bottom
steaming bowl.
- Put eggs on the egg holders to steam eggs conveniently (Fig. 6).
6 Put one or both steaming bowls on the drip tray. If you want to use the soup/rice bowl, place
it in the top steaming bowl. Make sure you place the bowls properly and that they do not
wobble (Fig. 7).
- You do not have to use both steaming bowls.
- The steaming bowls are numbered. You find the number on their handles.The top steaming
bowl is no. 3 and the bottom steaming bowl is no. 2.
- Only stack the steaming bowls in the following order: steaming bowl 2 and steaming bowl 3.
- The soup/rice bowl is intended for steaming rice, soup or other liquid food. When you want to
use the soup/rice bowl, put it in the top steaming bowl.
- If you steam large quantities of food, stir the food halfway through the steaming process. Wear
oven mitts and use a kitchen utensil with a long handle.
- Food in the top bowl takes usually a little longer to steam than food in the lower bowl.
- If you want to steam foods that require different steaming times, start steaming the food that
requires the longest steaming time in bowl 2. Set the steaming time adjustment knob to a time
that you calculate by deducting the shortest steaming time from the longest steaming time.
When the steaming is finished, carefully remove the lid with oven mitts and place bowl 3
containing the ingredients with the shorter steaming time on top of bowl 2. Put the lid on
bowl 3 and set the shorter steaming time with the steaming time adjustment knob.
7 Put the lid on the top steaming bowl (Fig. 8).
Note: If the lid is not placed on the steaming bowl properly or at all, the food is not steamed properly.
