How do I steam food effectively with the Tupperware Smart Multi-Cooker?

[VanMiles]

To steam your food perfectly with the Tupperware Smart Multi-Cooker, follow these steps: Begin by filling the Base with cold tap water up to the 400 ml | 1¾c fill line, found under the steaming logo. Next, assemble the components: the Base, Shielded Colander, Shallow Colander (if using), and Shielded Cover, ensuring everything fits snugly. Place ingredients that require longer cooking times in the Shielded Colander, and more delicate items in the Shallow Colander if stack steaming. For microwaving, use a maximum of 900 watts for a maximum of 30 minutes at a time. Always maintain the water level at 400 ml | 1¾c; add an extra minute if checking during cooking. For safety, position the Smart Multi-Cooker at least 5 cm | 2" away from any glass or ceramic surfaces inside your microwave. Allow for a 5-minute standing time after cooking, keeping the product closed to retain heat. Avoid overfilling the Base or using the product without water, as this may cause damage. For optimal steaming results, select fresh, quality ingredients, ensuring there's space between them for steam to circulate. Adjust cooking times based on your ingredients. Consider marinating fish or meat before steaming to enhance the flavor, and use lettuce leaves under fish for easy cleanup. These steps will help you enjoy delicious, healthy steamed meals using your Tupperware Smart Multi-Cooker.
