Troubleshooting
Food is not cooking evenly
Ensure food pieces are cut to a similar size. Check that the lid is securely locked and allowing steam to circulate properly. You may need to adjust microwave cooking time or power level.
Steam is escaping from the lid
Make sure the soft-lock lid is fully engaged. Inspect the lid for any damage or warping. If damaged, contact customer support.
Food is sticking to the inner pot
This is more common with certain types of food. Ensure adequate moisture is used for steaming or consider lightly oiling the pot before adding food if appropriate for your recipe.
The steamer feels flimsy or unstable
Ensure all components are correctly assembled. The plastic is lightweight for microwave safety, but should feel secure when handled by the designated handles.
