FAQs

What is the correct amount of water to use?

A small amount of water, typically around 1/2 to 1 cup, is sufficient. The amount may vary depending on the food being steamed and the duration of cooking.

Can I use the steamer in the freezer?

Yes, the Sistema Microwave Steamer is freezer safe for storing cooked food or meal prepping.

Is the steamer safe for use with all types of food?

Yes, it is suitable for steaming vegetables, fish, poultry, and other foods. Always ensure food is cooked to a safe internal temperature.

How do I prevent the lid from popping open in the microwave?

Make sure the steam vent is open to release pressure during cooking, preventing the lid from popping open.

Can I use the steamer without the colander?

While the colander is recommended for optimal steaming, you can use the base container without it for certain foods, but the result might not be as good.

What if my microwave doesn't have a turntable?

You can still use the steamer, but rotate the container halfway through cooking to ensure even cooking.

How long will the steamer last?

With proper care, the Sistema Microwave Steamer is designed for long-term use. Avoid extreme temperatures and follow the care instructions.

Troubleshooting

Food is undercooked.

Increase the microwave time by 30-60 seconds, checking for doneness in between.

Food is overcooked or dry.

Reduce the microwave time. Ensure you are using enough water in the base. Overcooking is often a sign of too much power/time.
