general tips

- To prepare rice, you have to add water to the rice in the soup bowl. For the amounts, see the
food steaming table above.
- When you have finished cooking rice, switch off the appliance, stir the rice and leave it in the
bowl with the lid on it for 5 minutes. This gives and even better result.
- Besides preparing soup, you can also use the soup bowl to prepare vegetables in sauce, to
poach fish in, to cook marinated food and to make pudding, soup and rice.
- Leave some space between the pieces of food and evenly distribute the food over the bottom
of the basket.
- If the steaming basket is very full, stir the food halfway through the steaming process.
- Small amounts of food require a shorter steaming time than large amounts.
- If you only use one steaming basket, the food requires a shorter steaming time than when you
use 2 or 3 steaming baskets.
- If you use more than one steaming basket, let the food cook 5-10 minutes longer.
- Food is ready more quickly in the small steaming basket (1) than in the steaming baskets on top.
- Make sure that the food is well done before you eat. This is particularly important for meat like
pork, minced beef and chicken.
- You can add food or baskets filled with food during the steaming process. If an ingredient needs
a shorter steaming time, add it later.
- Food continues to be steamed for some time when the steamer switches to the keep-warm
mode. If the food is already very well done, remove it from the steamer when the steaming
process ends and the appliance switches to keep-warm mode.
- If the food is not done, set a longer steaming time. You may need to put some more water in
the water tank.
- The steamer can be used to warm up ready-made soup in the soup bowl. Heating up 250ml
soup takes approx. 10 minutes.
