GUIDE FOR STEAmING VEGETAbLES, POULTRy AND SEAFOOD
Put two liquid measuring cups of water into the cooking pot. Arrange foods in a single layer
in the steaming tray. Vegetables should be cut in similar sizes as indicated. Cooking times
are approximate and will yield cooked but crisp/tender vegetables. Add more time for more
tender/softer vegetables or cut back on time for crispier vegetables to taste.
Foods must be removed immediately after vegetables have finished cooking to prevent
overcooking. If cooking vegetables over rice, use chart to determine approximatley when to
add steaming tray to rice cooker.
Note: A beep will indicate the end of a 3-minute preheating time.
