hints
●
Condensation will drip from the
upper basket into the lower basket.
So make sure the flavours go well
together.
●
Liquid left over in the drip tray is
good for making soup or stock. But
be careful: it will be very hot.
●
You can also use the rice bowl for
cooking anything in liquid (eg
vegetables in sauces or poaching
fish in water).
●
Leave gaps between pieces of food.
●
Stir large amounts half way through
cooking.
●
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.
●
If you lift the lid, steam will escape
and cooking will take longer.
●
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.
