Boiling Eggs; Cooking Rice And Liquids; Preparing Whole Meals - Silvercrest SDG 950 C3 Bedienungsanleitung

Figure C: The sequence is precisely re-
versed for storing, when the steamer bas-
kets 3 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 3 into
which you can place the eggs.
If you use all 3 steamer baskets 3, 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 2 supplied.
1. Put the rice, the right amount of water
and a pinch of salt in rice tray 2.
2. Put the rice tray 2 in any steamer bas-
ket 3.
NOTE: If you are using several steamer bas-
kets 3, the rice tray 2 should be placed in
the top basket so that nothing 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 3
one above the other, please note that:
• the heaviest food for cooking should be
cooked in the bottom basket 3 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 up-
per baskets is extended by a few min-
utes. You should therefore follow the
instructions in "Checking whether the
food is cooked" on page 53".
• stir or rearrange the cooking food occa-
sionally 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 al-
ways be cooked in the bottom steamer
basket 3 so that dripping juices do not
run over the other foods.
2. Put this steamer basket 3 in the steamer
and start cooking (see "Cooking" on
page 52).
3. Fill steamer basket 2 with the food
which will take a moderate time to
cook.
4. Carefully open the lid 1 by lifting it
slightly at the back first, so that the
steam can escape away from you.
5. Take the lid 1 right off.
6. Put steamer basket 2 on steamer basket 1
and close the lid 1 again.
7. Fill steamer basket 3 with the food
which will take the least time to cook.
8. Proceed as for steamer basket 2.
