COOKING GUIDE
HELPFUL HINTS:
1. Since most vegetables only absorb a small amount of water, there is no need to
increase the amount of water with a larger serving of vegetables.
2. Always keep the lid closed during the entire steaming process. Opening the lid
causes a loss of heat and steam, resulting in a slower cooking time. If you find it
necessary to open the lid, you may want to add a small amount of water to help
restore the cooking time.
3. Altitude, humidity and outside temperature will affect cooking times.
4. The steaming chart is for reference only. Actual cooking time may vary.
