Useful hints
- To ensure proper steam circulation,
make sure that the food items are evenly
spaced out and not placed too close to
each other inside the steamer bowl.
- The steaming time largely depends on
various factors such as the size, quality,
consistency and nature of the food to be
cooked, as well as the spacing between
the pieces.
- Generally, best results are achieved when
the pieces are similar in size. However,
should it be necessary to steam pieces of
different sizes, the larger pieces should be
placed in a lower bowl.
- If different types of food are to be placed
in the steamer bowls, first ensure first
that their flavours are compatible.
- In addition, when steaming different
types of food with different cooking
times, place those items with the longest
cooking time in the lower steamer bowl.
To ensure that all food will be ready at
the same time, we recommend the
following method: begin by steaming the
larger items first (i.e. those in the lower
bowl), until their remaining cooking time
