hints
G
Condensation will drip from the
upper basket into the lower basket.
So make sure the flavours go well
together.

good for making soup or stock. But
be careful: it will be very hot.
G
You can also use the rice bowl for
cooking anything in liquid (eg
vegetables in sauces or poaching
fish in water).
G
Leave gaps between pieces of food.
G
Stir large amounts half way through
cooking.
G
Smaller amounts cook faster than
larger amounts.

Similar-sized pieces of food cook evenly.

Like a conventional oven, you can add
food as you go along. If something
needs less time, add it later.
G
If you lift the lid, steam will escape
and cooking will take longer.
G
The cooking times on pages 6 - 7
are guides based on using the lower
basket. The higher the food is, the
slower it cooks. So allow an extra
5 - 10 minutes for food in the next
basket above. Check that food is
thoroughly cooked before eating.

If your food's not cooked enough,
reset the time. You may need to top
up with water.
