The Aroma diffuser
Your steamer is fitted with an Aroma diffuser. It has been designed for use with fresh
herbs, powdered spices, as well as liquids (such as lemon juice, stock, and flavoured
oils). It allows the exotic aromas from these items to diffuse through the steamer and
enhance the taste of the dish, but without removing the natural taste of the food.
Just put any herbs or flavourings inside the Aroma diffuser plus water up to the "max"
level mark, and it is ready to go !
The table gives you a guide for each type of food, and suggests some flavourings to
accompany them, but feel free to experiment with other herbs and flavourings which
appeal to your taste buds.
