C. Basket Combinations
One steaming basket:
Use one steaming basket to cook one type of food (e.g. peeled potatoes). Distribute food sparsely to avoid
blocking up the holes at the bottom of the basket.
Two steaming baskets:
Food with larger quantities and/or requiring longer cooking time should be cooked in the lower basket. Soup and
sauces will drip from the upper basket, make sure they do not affect the avors of food in the lower basket.
Three steaming baskets:
To cook different kinds of food at the same time, always place the largest pieces of food requiring the longest
cooking time in the bottom basket. The top basket takes a longer time to reach the cooking temperature (normally
about 3-5 minutes longer).
When you cook beef/sh/poultry and vegetables together, always put the meat in the lower baskets. This way the
raw or half-cooked meat juice would not drip to other food.
Note
The timer operates regardless of whether the unit is plugged into the electrical outlet or not. Make sure the indicator light
is on when setting the timer.

Cooking Tips
- Special attention: put meat in the lowest basket.
- A single layer (basket) of food steams faster than several layers. For high-altitude cooking and larger quantity
of food, longer cooking time is needed.
- A single layer (basket) of food steams faster than several layers. For high-altitude cooking and larger quantity of
food, longer cooking time is needed.
- For better results, prepare food pieces in even sizes. When food pieces vary in size, layering is recommended
(place smaller pieces on the top basket).
- Do not overcrowd food in the Steaming Basket or Rice Container. Arrange the food with spaces between pieces to
allow maximum steam ow.
- To avoid water drops to spread around, always use drip tray.
- Never steam meat, poultry or seafood from frozen. Always thaw completely rst.
Steaming times stated in the below table are for reference only. The time may vary depending on the food
size, portion, freshness, position/spacing inside the Steaming Baskets as well as personal preferences.
Please adjust cooking time accordingly.
