Instructions
Step 1
If you have just bought a new kitchen appliance, familiarize yourself with the model's device. The steamer consists of several parts. The lowest part is the working one. It contains all the electrics and the heating element. There you will also see a water tank in which steam is generated.
On the front or side wall of the base there is a control panel with power and timer buttons. Also, the panel can be touch-sensitive. Deal with the steamer control using the instructions for use.
Step 2
Above the main base part of the steamer, containers with a perforated bottom are installed. You need to put the food you will cook in them. The containers are made in such a way that they are on top of each other during cooking. Be sure to cover the top of the steamer with a lid so that the steam evenly processes the food.
Step 3
So, start cooking in a double boiler. Pour water into the base of the steamer. There should be enough water, but it should not overflow. Then place the drip tray for juice and condensation. Plug in the steam oven.
Step 4
Then prepare the food. Wash vegetables, peel if necessary. Rinse the meat. If food has been frozen, it must be defrosted before cooking.
Step 5
Then place the prepared food in the container. Place juicy food, fish or meat on the lower shelf so that the juice drips into the condensation container.
Step 6
The cooking time for each product is on average 30 to 60 minutes. Please check the instructions for your model. If you are cooking foods with different cooking times, place the quick-cook food on the top tier. Once the food is ready, remove the container from the steamer. On the lower tier, in a container closed with a lid, the remaining product will be brought to readiness.
