Steaming Foods
Steamed foods retain most of their nutritional value
when cooked in the SOLIS Rice Cooker “2 in 1”.
Foods may be steamed by placing food in the stain-
less steel steaming trays over stock or water and
covering with the glass lid. Keep the glass lid on
while steaming food. By removing the lid unneces-
sarily steam is lost and the cooking time will need
to be extended.
1. Measure 3 measuring cups or more of water or
stock into the removable cooking bowl. Use up to
a maximum of 6 measuring cups of water.
2. Place food to be steamed directly onto the
stainless steel steaming trays and insert into the
removable cooking bowl. (Refer to the Steaming
Charts on the pages 40–42 for approximate
cooking times).
3. Place removable cooking bowl with the steaming
trays into Stainless Steel Housing and cover with
the glass lid.
4. Plug into a 230 Volt power outlet. The amber
‘Warm’ light will illuminate.
5. Push the Selector Control down to begin cooking.
The red “Cook” light will illuminate.
6. When steaming is complete, the bell with sound
and the amber ‘Warm’ light will illuminate. Remove
foods from the SOLIS Rice Cooker “2 in 1”.
If further steaming is required ensure sufficient
water is in the removable cooking bowl. If not, add
more hot water or stock.
7. Unplug the SOLIS Rice Cooker “2 in 1”. Allow to
cool before cleaning.
Note!
Do not let the removable cooking bowl boil dry during
steaming.
Hot liquid can be added during the steaming process.
Both steaming trays can be stacked or used
separately.
Hints and tips for steaming vegetables
• Smaller pieces will steam faster than larger pieces.
• Try to keep vegetables to a standard size to ensure
even cooking.
• Fresh or frozen vegetables may be steamed.
• If steaming frozen vegetables, do not thaw.
• The size and shape of vegetables, as well as
personal taste, may call for adjustments to the
cooking time. If softer vegetables are required,
allow extra cooking time.
• Do not allow water or stock to reach the stainless
steel tray. The steaming will not be effective.
Always lift and remove the lid carefully, angling it away from yourself to avoid scalding from
escaping steam.
