Useful hints - To ensure proper steam circulation, make sure that the food items are evenly spaced out and not placed too close to each other inside the steamer bowl. - The steaming time largely depends on various factors such as the size, quality, consistency and nature of the food to be cooked, as well as the spacing between the pieces. - Generally, best results are achieved when the pieces are similar in size. However, should it be necessary to steam pieces of different sizes, the larger pieces should be placed in a lower bowl.
