HELPFUL HINTS • Steaming Time: Times listed in the Steaming Guide and Recipes are to be used as a guide only. Times will vary, depending on the quantity and freshness of food, size of pieces, spacing and placement of food on the steaming tray, microwave power*, and personal preference. • Smaller and/or thinner pieces of food will cook more quickly. • Steaming times may vary in higher altitudes. • If food is underdone for your taste, reheat in microwave at 30-second increments.
• Steaming is ideal for baby food. Steam food until very tender, then process in blender or food processor, adding breast milk or filtered water, one tablespoon at a time, to reach desired consistency. Approximate Food Capacity: -Up to 4.5 cups vegetables -Up to 1.5 lbs chicken -Up to 1 lb fish *All microwaves are different. The suggested times are based on an 800W microwave.
