6. COOKING GUIDE

a. Useful advice
The cooking times given in this guide are for information only. Cooking time varies according to the
size and quantity of food to be cooked, as well as personal preference. The cooking times stated are
calculated for fresh food.
For vegetables, the first indication of time leaves vegetables crunchy; the second cooks them more.
For more even cooking, use food that has been cut to more or less the same size.
Meat, poultry and seafood should be completely defrosted before being put into the steam cooker.
Make sure these foods do not touch the edges of the tray. For best results, the steam must be able
to circulate freely around the food.
Always use cold water in the tank. Do not add any herbs or seasoning to the water in the tank.
