• Do not leave unattended. • Rubber or heat resistant gloves are recommended when handling the hot Steam Juicer. • Never let the pan boil dry. If excessively overheated, like most cookware, the bottom may warp or melt. Should melting occur, do not attempt to remove the water pan from the burner until it has cooled.
Juicing Fill the water pan with 3 quarts of water, approximately ¾ full and place on a medium sized burner over high heat. NEVER LET YOUR STEAM JUICER BOIL DRY! Check the water level after each batch. Push the tube over the drain spout as far as possible and clamp the tube at mid- point.

Steam vegetables for table use. Boil water in the boiling pan. When the steam escapes from the juicer top, put the vegetables in the food basket. Steaming food retains more nutrients than boiling. Steam meats, fish, and poultry. Steamed meats are very tender. A rich broth will collect in the juice kettle that can be used for gravies and soups.
