MINI STEAMER

LAKELAND MINI STEAMER

Thank you for choosing the Lakeland Mini Steamer.

Please take a little time to read this booklet before getting started and keep it in a safe

place for future reference.

Steaming fresh food is healthy and easily locks in nutrients, ﬂavour and freshness.

Our compact Lakeland Mini Steamer is perfect for one or two portions of vegetables, ﬁsh

or poultry. The steaming tray and two steam baskets help keep different foods separate,

so you can cook several foods at the same time. In addition it has an egg tray to perfectly

cook up to eight eggs at once - soft, medium or hard.

It is quick and simple to use, add water to the tank, set the cooking time using the dial

and the heating plate quickly starts creating steam from below, circulating it evenly across

your foods for consistent results.

Its 460ml water tank holds enough for 40 minutes of steaming, and the steamer will beep

when your food is ready.

Here at Lakeland, our award-winning family-owned business still offers the same excellent

quality, value for money and exceptional customer service as when we founded the

company back in the 1960s.

Our products are hand-picked and thoroughly tested so you can be sure that everything

you purchase will be a pleasure to use for many years to come.
