The Duo set means it has 2 steam pressure settings. The lower setting is for fish and some veggies. How often do you use the lower setting?

Often, I use the low pressure for steaming vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, green beans etc. Most take 2- 3 minutes then a quick release.

Never. But, for the most part, I only eat meat. And while I like fish, at least occasionally, I would no more pressure cook it than I would steam or bake it. Mothers and food paranoids will use the lower setting, not men.

The temp adjustable and it stop heating at the set temp. The only potential problem I can see is the heater heating your tank to fast due to the size and that can put your fish at risk

Whenever you feel you need more steam. I close it when making vegetables but crack it when making fish. It's kind of a trial and error.

The steam time depends on the item and the voltage if your microwave. I do broccoli in 3min. And fish 10 or until opaque...

Stream of steam is adjustable - very comfortable to use . You can be doing other things etc while using steamer. Mask system is a bit claustrophobic and you have to sit still while using

You only use one tier at a time on top of the base pan. When you want to steam, you use the pan with holes and place it on top of the base pan. When you want a double boiler for making sauces, you use the pan without holes over the base and leave the tier with holes off. Not designed to use all three tiers at once.

We love our Ninja! It steams your food incredibly fast. Nothing else works the same. You don't add oils or butter. We love fish and vegetables steamed with water and fresh lemon juice. Your food sits above the water. It's moist and quickly finished. Clean up is easy too. We have two...one went with my daughter to college.

PSI means pounds (of pressure) per square inch, I believe. So the higher the number, the greater the pressure the cooker can withstand. Yes, it can cook at 2 different pressure levels. You will see a red line appear on the pressure gauge as the cooker heats up. Some foods must be cooked on the first red line, such as rice. Other foods need to be cooked at the second red line, such as beans. The Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker has an excellent book that comes with it which explains these things. I have not been disappointed in my Kuhn Rikon. It is quite sturdy and saves me time in the kitchen. I really don't know what I did without it. Hope this answers your question.

The temperature has selectivity in 30º increments from 150º-450º F. Veggies steam quite nicely at 180º in just minutes so it is important to keep water in the cookware as it can boil dry rapidly.

The cooker has two settings, controlled only by the heat from your stove. The high and low setting are two indicater lines.

I don't see an high low pressure settings. It looks just like the picture. All the function keys are in the front. U can choose rice, beans, pork, beef and the pot just set the time and the pressure for u, you don't have to do anything.

Sorry it took so long to respond...been busy with xmas. Anyway it is very easy to steam vegetables in this steamer. You put about 1 inch of water in the bottom pan. Say you are cooking broccoli, cut the broccoli into sizes that you want to eat. Then put the veggies in the top portion, cover then you cook the stuff on a high heat until it steams. Depending on how firm you like your veggies is how long you cook it for. I would only boil the water for a few minutes then turn off the heat. The veggies will keep cooking until you take the broccoli out off the steamer. Just check them and serve them when it reaches the point that you like the firmness. Other vegetables will take different times like carrots will take longer. I love steamed veggies cooked this way. Just experiment with it if you buy one. It is a great buy and the best way to cook vegetables. Good luck, Ted Terrebonne

Hi :)I bought this specifically to steam 1-2 person servings of veggies and it's fantastic. Yeah, you could totally warm-up or make soup in the bottom pot, and not use the top/steaming basket at all. I'm not sure if it's non-stick surface so maybe be careful with creamy soups that could burn, stick, and turn into a super mess & headache to clean afterwards. Maybe broth based soups? Just keep in mind this puppy is only 1 quart so it's pretty tiny. If you're making soup for 1 person it's probably perfect but you've got limited space. Last thing, be careful the handles get super hot. Use with care and don't burn yourself!I hope this helps a little with your purchase InvisibleCloak -Best, Katherina Hi :)I bought this specifically to steam 1-2 person servings of veggies and it's fantastic.

Janet, with pressure steam you leave the pressure stopper open and with pressure. Cooker the stopper is closed and pressure builds rapidly. Also in pressure cook mode the food is immersed in liquid, not necessarily so with pressure steam. Pressure cook is full pressure, pressure steam is less pressure. Hope this helps! We love ours and use it to make wonderful meals.

I'm not sure I understand your question . I think you mean you want to stack this on top of another steamer with something in it so you're steaming two different items. All I use it for is singe steaming and it fits very nicely on my small coppercore saucepan 1.5 qts, very tight with no escaping steam. Hope this helps you. Lynn
