Steaming Food (Pyramid Design)

The unique 3-tier pyramid design allows you to steam different foods simultaneously without mixing flavors. This is ideal for preparing a variety of ingredients for your baby's meals.

1. Prepare your ingredients by washing and cutting them into appropriate sizes.
2. Place different ingredients into the large (25 oz), medium (12 oz), and small (5 oz) steaming baskets.
3. Stack the baskets inside the stirring cup, ensuring they are properly seated.
4. Select the 'Steam' function on the touch control panel. Adjust the steaming time using the '+' and '-' buttons. Refer to the recipe book or general guidelines for steaming times based on food type.
5. Press the 'Start/Pause' button to begin steaming. The appliance will automatically shut off when the cycle is complete.
