tips for steaming food
Flavour Booster+
- Thyme, coriander, basil, dill, curry and tarragon are some of the herbs
and spices that you can put in the Flavour Booster+. You can combine
them with garlic, caraway or horseradish to enhance flavour without
adding salt. We advise you to use 1/2 to 3tsps of dried herbs or spices.
Use more if you use fresh herbs or spices.
- When you use liquids like wine or lemon juice, you can fill the Flavour
Booster+ up to the 'max' indication.
- For more tips about herbs, spices and liquids to use in the Flavour
Booster+, see the food steaming table above.
vegetables and fruits
- Cut off thick stems from cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage.
- Steam leafy, green vegetables for the shortest possible time, because
they lose colour easily.
- Do not thaw frozen vegetables before you steam them.
meat, poultry, seafood and eggs
- Tender pieces of meat with a little fat are most suitable for steaming.
- Wash meat properly and dab it dry, so that as little juice as possible
drips out.
- Always place meat, poultry, fish or eggs below other food types, to
prevent dripping of juices.
- Puncture eggs before you put them in the steamer.
- Never steam frozen meat, poultry or seafood. Always let frozen meat,
poultry or seafood thaw completely before you put it in the steamer.
sweet deserts
- Add some cinnamon to desserts to enhance sweetness instead of
adding more sugar.

general tips

- To prepare rice, you have to add water with the rice in the fish/rice
bowl (5). For the amounts, see the food steaming table above.
- You can also use the fish/rice bowl (5) to prepare vegetables in sauces
or to poach fish in water.
- Leave gaps between the pieces of food.
- If the steaming bowl is very full, stir the food halfway through the
steaming process.
- Small amounts of food require a shorter steaming time than large
amounts.
