Suitable containers Stainless steel cooking containers are supplied with the appliance. Other containers are available in a variety of sizes, both perforated and solid, as optional accessories. Please note when selecting cookware: - Use perforated cooking containers whenever possible. The steam can reach the food from all sides and cook evenly. You can also use your own containers and dishes. However, please note the following: - The container must be heat resistant up to 212°F (100°C). Heat resistant glass, ceramics, porcelain (chinaware), plastics, stainless steel or enamel dishes are all suitable. - Food will take longer to cook in a dish with thick sides. - For thicker items, e.g. potatoes, build larger spaces between them. It is best to space food as much as possible so steam can surround each piece. Larger and deeper containers can be used for larger items. - Place the dish on the supplied rack. - Ensure that there is a gap of at least 1" (3 cm) between the upper rim of the container and the top of the cooking compartment to allow sufficient steam into the container. - Dense dishes such as casseroles or food such as peas or asparagus which have little space between them will take longer to cook because the steam has less space to work in. The more of this type of food the container becomes filled with, the longer the cooking time will be. It is best to use 2 or 3 shallow containers for these foods. The recommended cooking times are for shallow containers. For larger fill heights the cooking time is extended. See "Cooking tips" for more information. 13

Stainless steel cooking containers are
supplied with the appliance.
Other containers are available in a
variety of sizes, both perforated and
solid, as optional accessories.
Please note when selecting cookware:
– Use perforated cooking containers
whenever possible. The steam can
reach the food from all sides and
cook evenly.
– For thicker items, e.g. potatoes, build
larger spaces between them. It is
best to space food as much as
possible so steam can surround
each piece. Larger and deeper
containers can be used for larger
items.
– Dense dishes such as casseroles or
food such as peas or asparagus
which have little space between
them will take longer to cook
because the steam has less space to
work in. The more of this type of food
the container becomes filled with, the
longer the cooking time will be. It is
best to use 2 or 3 shallow containers
for these foods. The recommended
cooking times are for shallow
containers. For larger fill heights the
cooking time is extended.
See "Cooking tips" for more information.
You can also use your own containers
and dishes. However, please note the
following:
– The container must be heat resistant
up to 212°F (100°C). Heat resistant
glass, ceramics, porcelain
(chinaware), plastics, stainless steel
or enamel dishes are all suitable.
– Food will take longer to cook in a

– Place the dish on the supplied rack.
– Ensure that there is a gap of at least
1" (3 cm) between the upper rim of
the container and the top of the
cooking compartment to allow
sufficient steam into the container.
