Safety Instructions

• Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling hot steamer components.
• Be cautious of hot steam when lifting the lid. Lift the lid away from your face to avoid steam burns.
• Ensure the water level in the base pot does not completely evaporate during steaming to prevent damage to the pot and stovetop.
• Do not immerse a hot steamer in cold water, as this can cause thermal shock and damage the material.
• Keep out of reach of children when in use.
• Verify that the steamer is stable on the stovetop before heating.

Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all parts (base pot, steamer insert, lid) with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
3. Assembly:
   • Place the base pot on a stable, level surface.
   • If using as a steamer, place the steamer insert into the base pot.
   • Place the lid on top of the steamer insert or base pot.

Operating Instructions

Steaming Food:

1. Fill the base pot with water. Ensure the water level is below the bottom of the steamer insert.
2. Place the steamer insert into the base pot.
3. Arrange food items (e.g., vegetables, dumplings, fish) on the steamer insert. Do not overcrowd to allow steam circulation.
4. Cover with the glass lid.
5. Place the steamer on your chosen stovetop (induction, gas, electric, radiant).
6. Heat the water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to maintain a steady steam.
7. Steam for the recommended time for your specific food. Use the transparent lid to monitor progress.
8. Carefully remove the lid, lifting it away from you to avoid steam.
9. Using oven mitts, carefully remove the steamer insert and serve the food.

Using the Base Pot Independently:

The base pot can be used as a standalone stockpot for soups, stews, or boiling, or as a frying pan for sautéing. Ensure the pot is clean and dry before use. Follow standard cooking practices for your stovetop.

Maintenance and Cleaning

• After Each Use: Allow the steamer to cool completely before cleaning.
• Dishwasher Safe: All components are dishwasher compatible. Place them on the top rack if possible to prevent damage.
• Hand Washing: For best results and to prolong the life of your steamer, hand wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
• Stubborn Stains: For burnt-on food, soak the pot in warm, soapy water before scrubbing. A paste of baking soda and water can also be used for gentle abrasion.
• Thermal Shock: Avoid sudden temperature changes (e.g., placing a hot pot under cold water) as this can warp the metal.
• Storage: Store all components clean and dry in a cool, dry place.
