USEFUL HINTS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Food cooking time indicated in the tables
is considered only for reference purpos-
es it may differ due to size of the pieces,
amount of products and personal taste.
As far as you manage the Steam cooker
you can select the desired products cook-
ing time.
• One layer of products is cooked quicker
than several layers. That is why it is neces-
sary to increase the cooking time accord-
ing to the amount of products.
• In order to achieve the best result, make
sure that the pieces of products are of
equal size; place the thicker pieces closer
to the edges of steam bowl.
• Do not fill the steam bowl completely
– keep space for steam.
• When cooking a large amount of products
it is necessary to stir them periodically. Be
especially careful and use the pot holders
to protect hands from steam and kitchen
utensils with long handles.
• Do not add salt or spices directly to the
products when cooking.
• Liquid accumulating in tray (6) is excellent-
ly suitable for soup cooking or can be used
as bouillon. But be careful – it is very hot.
• Use only completely defrosted products.
When using three steam bowls simulta-
neously:
- Always put the largest pieces of products
in the lower bowl.
- Condensate forming on the upper bowl
will drain to the lower bowl that's why
make sure that the flavors of products to
be cooked are compatible.
