bottoms correctly, first lower one side into the basket and then the other side, until the bottom
snaps into place (‘click’). Make sure the bump in the bottom faces upwards (Fig. 2).
- Do not put too much food in the steaming baskets. Leave some space between the pieces of
food and evenly distribute the food over the bottom of the basket.
- Place larger pieces of food and food that requires a longer steaming time in the bottommost
steaming basket (1).
- Put eggs on the egg holders to steam eggs conveniently (Fig. 8).
- 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.
