Cooking
Food (with the exception of frozen vegetables) to be steam cooked
must be completely defrosted. Do not salt products before cooking
and do not use food dressings. Sauces, seasonings and food dress-
ings should be added after cooking. The tables presented below
contain recommendations on cooking different products provided
that these products are laid in one layer. If several containers are
used, the cooking time will increase since the same amount of vapor
is employed for a bigger volume of products.
Do not forget: the further products are away from the heating
element, the longer the food cooking process will be. Cooking time
should be increased if products are layered in the basket. In this
case, all slices of the product must be either of equal size, or bigger
slices must be laid on the bottom.
To determine the exact cooking time and achieve the desired
result, you will need to experiment at first. If you are using a food
steamer for the first time, follow the guidelines written in the tables,
checking the degree of food readiness from time to time.
Always put meat and chicken in the lowest basket this is to
prevent liquid coming into contact with other foods.
Remember that fish is ready when it is white and flaky. Meat is
ready when the juices run clear. Cook greens like cabbage, broc-
coli, etc., very quickly to keep a good colour and texture.
Keeping an eye on cooking time is necessary. If you noticed that
most of the product in the basket is ready, turn it over using a long
handled spoon and oven gloves. Upon finishing the cooking time,
immediately remove the containers from the food steamer, other-
wise the cooking process continues. Put the containers on a dish or
food-tray to let any remaining water disappear. Then serve your
foods.
Vegetables
! Thoroughly wash and clean vegetables and slice them, if re-
quired. Time required for cooking small slices is less the time
required for cooking big slices.
