Tips and tricks

▯
The steamer may be used with up to two cooking
inserts at the same time.
▯
When steaming with two cooking inserts, you can
either place the inserts simultaneously in the
cooking basin or you can insert them during the
cooking process. Make sure you insert the
perforated insert under the unperforated insert.
When using this method, please make sure that
you insert the food with the longer cooking time
first. Do not insert the other cooking insert until
the time remaining for the second item you intend
to cook has been reached. In this way, you can
make sure that meals that require different
cooking times will be ready at the same time.
▯
If possible, always place the glass cover on the
steamer to prevent steam and energy being lost.

Enhance the taste of the cooking liquid by adding
herbs, spices, garlic, ginger, lemon juice or wine
for steaming or simmering. Make sure the residue
strainer is placed on the drain and remove
residues before draining to avoid blocking the
drain.
Food cooked in steam has a more intensive taste
than conventionally cooked food. Therefore, you
can largely dispense with the need for additional
spicing.
Nutrients, vitamins and minerals are retained, as
well as taste, shape and colour. The preparation
of the food is without fat.
Cooked food does not come into contact with the
boiling water. Therefore, it is enveloped
completely by the steam and is not drained of its
goodness by water.
