PAge heAder..... SteamIng
Steamed foods retain most of their
nutritional value when cooked in the
Multi Cooker™. Foods may be steamed by
placing food in the stainless steel steaming
tray over stock or water and covering with
the glass lid. Keep the glass lid on while
steaming food unless the recipe or chart
specifically states to remove the lid. By
removing the lid unnecessarily steam is lost
and the cooking time will be extended.
1. Measure 3 rice scoops or more of
water or stock and pour into the
removable cooking bowl.
Use up to a maximum of 6 rice
scoop cups of water.
2. Place food to be steamed directly
into the stainless steel steaming
tray and insert into the removable
cooking bowl. (Refer to the
Steaming Charts on pages 20–22 for
approximate cooking times).
3. Place removable cooking bowl with
the steaming tray into housing and
cover with the glass lid.
4. Plug power cord into a 230V power
outlet. The START|CANCEL button
and RISOTTO button surround will
illuminate in white.
5. Press the RICE|STEAM setting
then press the START|CANCEL
button to activate the setting. The
START|CANCEL button surround
will illuminate red and cooking
will commence.
6. When steaming is complete, the
ready beeps will sound and the
Multi Cooker™ will automatically
switch to the KEEP WARM setting.
7. If no further steaming is required,
press the START|CANCEL button to
cease operation and turn the
Multi Cooker™ off at the power outlet
and then unplug power cord. Allow
to cool before cleaning.
note
Keep the glass lid on while steaming
food unless the recipe or chart
specifically states to remove the lid.
(By removing the lid unnecessarily,
steam is lost and the cooking time will
be extended.)
note
Do not let the removable cooking bowl
boil dry during steaming.
note
Hot liquid can be added during the
steaming process.
HIntS and tIPS foR
SteamIng VegetaBleS
• Smaller pieces will steam faster than
larger pieces.
• Try to keep vegetables to a standard size
to ensure even cooking.
• Fresh or frozen vegetables may
be steamed.
• If steaming frozen vegetables, do
not thaw.
• The size and shape of vegetables, as
well as personal taste, may call for
adjustments to the cooking time. If
softer vegetables are required, allow
extra cooking time.
• Do not allow water or stock to reach the
stainless steel tray. The steaming will
not be effective.
WARNING
Always lift and remove the lid carefully,
angling it away from yourself to avoid
scalding from escaping steam.
