Reference Guide

STEAM/SIMMER (sensor): Use microwave-safe container with a loose-ﬁtting lid. Sensor will detect when liquid begins to boil, then

begin the Steam or Simmer countdown.

NOTE: Do not remove the lid while the container is in the microwave oven, as a rush of steam would disrupt the sensor readings.

1 Steam Recipes: Place small microwave-safe dish (for

example, custard dish) with 2-4 tbs (30-60 mL) water in

center of container. Use 2 tbs (30 mL) water for smaller

quantities, or 4 tbs (60 mL) water for larger quantities of food.

Place food in container around the small dish. Cover with

loose-ﬁtting lid.

■ Fresh Vegetables – Senses 1-4 cups (250 mL-1 L):

■ Frozen Vegetables – Senses 1-4 cups (250 mL-1 L):

■ Potatoes – Senses 1-4 cups (250 mL-1 L):

■ Boneless Chicken – Senses 0.5-1.5 lbs (142-680 g):

2 Manual Steam: Place small microwave-safe dish (for

example, custard dish) with 2-4 tbs (30-60 mL) water in

center of container. Use 2 tbs (30 mL) water for smaller

quantities, or 4 tbs (60 mL) water for larger quantities of

food. Place food in container around the small dish. Cover

with loose-ﬁtting lid. Enter Steam time. Sample approximate

steam times:

■ Soft vegetables 1-3 min (ex.: spinach - 4 cups [1 L] 1 min)

■ Hard vegetables 3-6 min (ex.: broccoli - 2 cups [500 mL]

4 min)

■ Frozen vegetables 4-5 min

Use longer times for more doneness, or when steaming larger

quantities.

3 Manual Simmer:

Rice: Add liquid and food to microwave-safe container. Cover

with loose-ﬁtting lid. Enter simmer time. Simmer time will begin

counting down after the sensor detects steam from boiling liquid.

Pasta: Add liquid to microwave-safe container. Cover with

looseﬁtting lid. Enter simmer time of 1 second. Simmer time will

begin counting down after the sensor detects steam

from boiling liquid. When the microwave oven stops, remove

container, remove the lid, and add the pasta. Re-cover and return

the container to the microwave oven. Clear the display using the

Cancel control, then reprogram the simmer function, and enter

the new simmer time (ex.: dry spaghetti - 11-12 min).
