This unique, compact and multipurpose microwave cooking solution allows you to steam food, as well as cook pasta, rice and other grains. This multipurpose cooker not only takes little space to store but also provides you with three products in one. Enjoy delicious, healthy and nutritious meals with your family which are quick and easy to prepare! Cooking and measuring instructions are engraved on the inside of the Base (Fig. A1), the Shielded Cover (Fig. A4), the Grain Insert (Fig. A5) and the Grain Cover (Fig. A6). Max. 900 W Min. 0 °C Max. 30 min. Max. 120 °C · Do not replace water with syrup, oil, non-fat-free stock or any other liquid with sugar, fat or alcohol contents (except for white wine, where you can replace a maximum of 100ml of water with white wine). CAUTION: Always pour the right amount of water into the Base and make sure it is never empty. Not doing so may cause the Base to melt. Overfilling may cause food to be immersed in liquid and not steam properly. · Always make sure to properly assemble the Base, Shielded Colander, Shallow Colander (optional; for stack steaming) and Shielded Cover (See Fig B2). · Never use the Shallow Colander without the Shielded Colander and the Shielded Cover. · Place the food you wish to steam in the Shielded Colander and Shallow Colander (if you wish to stack steam). · When stack steaming, place ingredients requiring a longer cooking time in the Shielded Colander (bottom colander) and the more delicate ones, such as fish or meat in the Shallow Colander (upper colander). Use a low temperature programme on your dishwasher to save energy and protect the environment. 1. Key features and benefits: The Tupperware® Smart Multi-Cooker was invented to answer a growing demand for easy, fast and compact cooking solutions. This smart product combines various technologies and materials, which create optimal cooking and steaming results in the microwave oven: · Stack steaming (for cooking guidelines see section "3.1 Steaming"): steam various fresh or frozen ingredients, such as vegetables, fruits, fish and poultry. The product allows true steaming by preventing microwaves from penetrating the Shielded Colander stacked on the Base. Microwaves only heat the water in the Base (Fig. A1), producing steam that perfectly cooks the food placed in the Shielded Colander. The product is ideal to steam two types of food at the same time: stack the Shallow Colander (Fig. A3) on top of the Shielded Colander (Fig. A2) and place the Shielded Cover on the Shallow Colander. · Cooking rice and other grains (for cooking guidelines see section "3.2 Cooking Rice and Other Grains"): cook your rice and other grains to perfection. The unique combination of a Grain Insert (Fig. A5) and a Grain Cover (Fig. A6) ensures that any natural foam overflow is collected inside the top cover's recess and drained back into the Base through the Grain Insert. · Cooking short pasta (for cooking guidelines see section "3.3 Cooking Pasta"): the product allows you to easily and quickly cook various sorts of short pasta. 2. Product parts description (Fig. A): The product consists of: · A Base (1): with a full capacity of 3L, it is used to steam or cook pasta, rice and other grains. · A Shielded Colander (2): used to steam ingredients, such as vegetables, fruits, fish, and poultry, it blocks microwaves, making sure that only steam cooks your food. It can also be used to drain pasta, which can then be kept warm in the covered, emptied Base. · A Shallow Colander (3): designed to hold delicate and soft foods while stack steaming. · A Shielded Cover (4): it blocks microwaves and holds steam inside the Shielded Colander, for optimal cooking. · A Grain Insert (5): used to cook rice and other grains, it reduces the volume of foam created during the cooking process. · A Grain Cover (6): used for cooking rice and other grains, it prevents overflowing of liquid and food in the microwave. 3. Cooking guidelines: 3.1 Steaming (Fig. B): To steam, use the Base, the Shielded Colander, the Shallow Colander (only when stack steaming), and the Shielded Cover. · Fill the Base with cold tap water until you reach the 400 ml | 1¾c filling line located under the steaming logo ( ) (See Fig. B1). · Do not overfill the Shielded Colander or the Shallow Colander; make sure that the colanders are properly stacked (the rims are perfectly aligned vertically and there is no part that looks slanted), and that the Shielded Cover is fully covering the colander. · Always microwave at 900 watts maximum for no more than 30 minutes at a time (Fig. G). Remove the product carefully from your microwave oven by safely holding its handles with both hands and using oven gloves. Let the product and the microwave oven cool down and refill the Base to 400 ml | 1¾c with clean water before re-using. Not doing so may cause the Base or other parts to melt, or your microwave oven to be damaged. · If you stop the microwave to check the cooking process, make sure that the water level in the Base is still at the 400 ml | 1¾c filling line. Add 1 extra minute to the remaining cooking time to allow water to steam again. CAUTION: Always place the product at least 5 cm | 2" away from the glass/ceramic protection around the top energizer (location where the microwaves enter the oven) of your microwave oven (See Fig B3). If your microwave oven's energizer is located on the side only, you do not need to respect the 5 cm | 2" distance, either from the top, or the sides; except if the side energizer is covered by a glass/ceramic protection. If you have a microwave oven with a turning plate, always place the product in the center of the turning plate and make sure that the plate is rotating. Not doing so may cause the top of the cover to melt. If you have a microwave oven with a tray or a shelf, remove those from the oven and place the Smart Multi-Cooker directly on the bottom level of your microwave oven. · Allow for a standing time of 5 minutes after cooking. Leave the product closed until it is time to serve the food it will keep it warm. · If you wish to stop the steaming process once the microwave cooking time is over (recommended for green vegetables), remove the colanders from the Base, pour out the remaining hot water from the Base and place the Base back under the Shielded Colander. · For best results when Steaming: · Choose quality ingredients, preferably in season as they contain more vitamins if freshly picked. · Frozen ingredients are a good alternative to fresh produce as they have high nutritional value. · Make sure to leave enough space between pieces of food to allow steam to circulate around and maximize the steaming process. · Thicker foods may take longer to steam. Best results are obtained when steaming pieces of food of similar size. · Remove thick stems from cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli. · Marinating fish or meat prior to steaming or adding toppings such as condiments, seasoning or sauces will significantly enhance their appearance and flavour. · When steaming fish, we recommend placing a lettuce leaf under the fish for easier cleaning. · When steaming white fish fillets, we recommend basting the fillets with a very small amount of oil (1ml/ 0.2 teaspoon). It will enhance the taste of the food and prevent possible overflowing of liquid. · Do not replace water with syrup, oil, non-fat-free stock or any other liquid with sugar, fat or alcohol contents (except for white wine, where you can replace a maximum of 100ml of water with white wine).
