STEAMING

Pour the desired amount of water into the inner pot. The amount of
water determines the cooking time for steaming. (See table opposite)
Put the food in the steamer basket and place this on top of the inner
pot.
The vegetables should be washed and peeled first.
Place the lid on top, put the On/Off switch into the "I" position and
press the control at the base (as described for cooking rice).
When the water has evaporated, the appliance will automatically
switch to "warm" and the indicator light will turn on. Use oven gloves
to lift the steamer basket. It is possible to steam food while cooking
rice. This does require keeping an eye on the food.
Steaming table
The amount of water in the pot determines the cooking time. As a
guide, for 160 ml water (1 cup), the cooking time will be about
30 minutes, for 80 ml (1/2 cup), it will be 15 minutes, etc.
