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.
