Table of cooking times
Cooking times are approximate and use the lower basket, unless stated otherwise. Times may vary
depending on the amount of food, size of the food, the space between the food, using a different basket level and
individual preferences. For larger or smaller quantities, adjust the cooking time accordingly. Cooking times may be
increased when using more than one basket to steam food.
Check food near the end of cooking, especially vegetables and fruit, as an extra few minutes can result in over
cooked food.
Use oven gloves when handling the baskets during cooking.
