Steaming with your Tupperware Smart Multi-Cooker is a breeze! Here's how to get the best results:
- Fill the Base: Start by filling the Base of your Tupperware Smart Multi-Cooker with cold tap water. The optimal level is up to the 400 ml | 1¾c filling line, which is conveniently marked under the steaming logo.
- Assemble the Components: Assemble the Smart Multi-Cooker correctly. This involves placing the Shielded Colander inside the Base, followed by the Shallow Colander if you plan on stacking ingredients. Finally, secure the Shielded Cover. Make sure the Shielded Colander is correctly positioned to block microwaves, allowing steam to cook your food.
- Layering Ingredients: Place ingredients that require more cooking time in the Shielded Colander, and more delicate items in the Shallow Colander if you are using it. This allows for even cooking.
- Microwaving Guidelines: Microwave at a maximum power of 900 watts, and do not exceed 30 minutes of continuous cooking. Always maintain the water level in the Base at 400 ml | 1¾c. If you need to check on the food mid-cooking, add an extra minute to the cooking time.
- Safety First: Place the Tupperware Smart Multi-Cooker at least 5 cm | 2" away from the glass or ceramic walls of your microwave. Allow the Multi-Cooker to stand for 5 minutes after cooking, keeping it closed to retain the food's warmth.
- Tips for Excellent Steaming: For best results, use quality ingredients, ensuring there is enough space between them for steam to circulate. Adjust cooking times based on the type and amount of food you're steaming. Consider marinating fish or meat before steaming to enhance the flavor. Placing lettuce leaves under fish can also make cleanup easier. Following these steps ensures you'll create delicious and nutritious meals with your Tupperware Smart Multi-Cooker!
