and middle steam tray

increase by

5 – 10 minutes. Consider this when setting the

steaming time.

8 Taste of foods can spread through condensed

water. Therefore, generally place meat and ﬁsh

in the lower steam tray

. Let the lower steam

tray

empty if you want to prepare food with

longer steaming time ﬁrst. Place then ﬁsh or meat

in the lower steam tray

at the desired time.

Useful tips

The steaming times shown in the chart are only

approximate. Times can vary according to the size

of food, quantities in the steaming trays

the freshness of food and personal tastes. When

you are more familiar with the steamer, you can

adjust the steaming times.

8 Please note that one layer of food will steam

more quickly than several layers. Therefore, the

steaming time increases with the quantity of

food, e.g. 1000 g of cauliﬂower ﬂorets require

longer than 500 g.

8 Make sure that all pieces are of a similar size.

So you achieve an optimal result.

8 If pieces are of diﬀerent sizes and have to be

layered, place the smaller pieces on top.

8 Do not cram food into the steam trays

. Leave enough room between the pieces to

ensure a good supply of steam circulation.

8 When steaming larger amounts, stir the food

with a long-handled spoon after half of the

steaming time.

8 Never steam frozen meat, poultry or seafood.

Always thaw everything completely ﬁrst.

8 All of the times shown in the steaming chart

apply to their use with cold water. To slightly

reduce steaming times, use warm (not boiling)

water.

8 The rice bowl

is an ideal container for

steaming other food such as fruit, vegetables,

puddings etc.

Steaming chart

The steaming times shown in the chart are only ap-

proximate. Times can vary according to the size of

food, quantities in the steaming trays

the freshness of foods and personal tastes.

Therefore, we recommend checking the condition

with a long utensil (fork or skewer) towards the end

of the set steaming time. The steaming times apply

to the quantities shown in the chart. If not speciﬁed

otherwise, all steaming times refer to the use of the

lower steam tray

. Food in the upper

and

middle steam trays

requires 5 - 10 minutes longer.

All times shown in the chart apply to their use with

cold water.
