STEAM COOK (sensor):

Use microwave-safe container with a loose-fitting lid. Sensor will detect when liquid begins to boil. Then, begin the Steam or Simmer countdown.

NOTE:

Do not remove the lid while the container is in the microwave oven, as a rush of steam would disrupt the sensor readings.

1 Steam Recipes: Place small microwave-safe dish (for example, custard dish) with 2-4 tbs (30-60 mL) water in center of container. Use 2 tbs (30 mL) water for smaller quantities, or 4 tbs (60 mL) water for larger quantities of food. Place food in container around the small dish. Cover with loose-fitting lid.

n Fresh Vegetables – Senses 1-4 cups (250 mL-1 L): n Frozen Vegetables – Senses 1-4 cups (250 mL-1 L): n Potatoes – Senses 1-4 cups (250 mL-1 L): n Boneless Chicken – Senses 0.5-1.5 lbs (142-680 g):

2 Manual Steam: Place small microwave-safe dish (for example, custard dish) with 2-4 tbs (30-60 mL) water in center of container.

Use 2 tbs (30 mL) water for smaller quantities, or 4 tbs (60 mL) water for larger quantities of food. Place food in container around the small dish. Cover with loose-fitting lid. Enter Steam time. Sample approximate steam times: n Soft vegetables 1-3 min (ex.: spinach - 4 sups [1 L] 1 min) n Hard vegetables 3-6 min (ex.: broccoli - 2 cups [500 mL] 4 min) n Frozen vegetables 4-5 min. Use longer times for more doneness or when steaming larger quantities.

3 Manual Simmer

Rice: Add liquid and food to microwave-safe container. Cover with loose-fitting lid. Enter simmer time. Simmer time will begin counting down after the sensor detects steam from boiling liquid.

Pasta: Add liquid to microwave-safe container. Cover with loose-fitting lid. Enter simmer time of 1 second. Simmer time will begin counting down after the sensor detects steam from boiling liquid.

When the microwave oven stops, remove container, remove the lid, and add the pasta. Re-cover and return the container to the microwave oven. Clear the display using the Cancel control, and then reprogram the simmer function, and enter the new simmer time (ex.: dry spaghetti - 11-12 min).
