How to Position
Healthy, tasty, steamy. The two-tiered Tupperware®
SmartSteamer has a revolutionary design that directs microwave away
from your foods and heats the water below for an entire steamed meal.
How to Demonstrate
• “The SmartSteamer is very easy to use! Just add water, place food inside, stack and steam for extraordinary and
gourmet results.”
• “The Steamer Base and the Cover have an inner shield that keeps microwaves from reaching the foods, so the
microwaves bounce back and are directed to the water in the Water Tray.”
• “The water in the Water Tray turns to steam which rises through the holes in the bottom of the Steamer Base.”
• “The steam then cooks the food placed in the Steamer Base and the optional Colander Tray.”
• “You can cook an entire meal at once by placing your vegetables and/or starch like potatoes in the steamer base and
you poultry or fish in the Colander Tray. It steams everything from vegetables and fruit, to corn and potatoes to tofu,
poultry, fish and seafood.”
• “Steaming guidelines for various vegetables, fruits, starches, meat, and fish are included in the insert along with some
delicious recipes to start steaming complete meals in minutes.”
• “The SmartSteamer is a breakthrough innovation in microwave steaming technology. Now you can eat healthy, tasty
food and save money on energy!”
• “Keeps food warm—leave hot water in the Water Tray, or pour warm water to avoid prolonging the cooking process
(advisable for green vegetables)—keeps food warm for up to 30 minutes.”
Benefits of Steaming Food
• Steam cooking is thought to pre-date the discovery of fire. Asian cooking has always used steaming as their
primary cooking method, resulting in flavorful, healthy and quick meals.
Efficient Cooking
• Vegetables cook faster and retain their natural color.
• Easier cleanup as no saucepans are required.
Wellness Cooking
• Steaming allows cooking any type of food and is a well-known method for fat-free cooking that allows foods to
retain nutrients, fatty acids, minerals and vitamins.
• Steaming does not mean bland cooking. The colors are more vibrant, the texture stays firm, the natural flavors are
better preserved and the herbs or condiments can develop their aroma fully. Perfect for the whole family.
Advice and Tips
• Choose quality vegetables and fruits—preferably in season, as they will contain more vitamins.
• Frozen ingredients are a good alternative to fresh produce as they have high nutritional qualities. You can steam
frozen foods by adjusting cooking time as outlined in the Cooking Guidelines. For best results, avoid thick sections
of frozen foods.
• Ensure there is some space in between foods to allow the steam to circulate.
• Thicker foods may take longer to steam. For best results cut foods so that all pieces are of similar size.
• Remove the thick stems from cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli.
• Marinating fish or meat prior to steaming or adding toppings, seasoning or sauces will significantly enhance flavor
and appearance. time savers
• When stack cooking, position the harder ingredients in the Steamer Base and the softer foods, fish or meat in the
Colander Tray. Tip: Place a leaf of lettuce under fish for easy cleaning of the Colander Tray.
• Let food stand for at least five minutes after cooking, keeping it covered until serving so food will stay warm.
• Whenever you stop the microwave to monitor cooking, check the water level in the Water Tray to ensure there is
water up to the 1¾-cup/ 400 mL line. If water is added, allow one additional minute of cooking time to return the
water to a steam.
• Eggs in the shell, rice, pasta, pastry or crispy foods are not suitable for steaming in the SmartSteamer.1
How to Cross Sell
• Suggest the Microwave Rice Maker for a quick rice side dish, or add fresh herbs to your meal with the help of the
Chop ’N Prep™ Chef. The Quick Chef can be used to cut meats and vegetables before placing them inside the
SmartSteamer.
• Cook the recipes that are available in the insert, recipe pamphlet, in the catalog or online at smartsteamer.com using
the SmartSteamer and other items from Time Savers and Cook with Confidence categories in the catalog.
