how to decrease steaming time

I put my on the base of a turkey fryer and crank up the propane. Just remember that with more heat, water evaporates quickly. Hope this helps!

To get the maximum juice for the energy used, fill the upper container (nearly 3 gallons), and adjust your stove to just keep the water in the lower reservoir boiling (it won't go above 212F anyway). With softer fruit (I do alot of blackberries) you can extract more by crushing the fruit with a potato masher after it is partially steamed and softened. Also after you turn off the heat, some juice will drip into the collector as the fruit cools. Do consider that crushing fruit will result in a few more seeds in the juice if they are small enough to get through the collector holes (but not all that many). Keep an eye on the drain hose (it is clear) and when you see the flow is just drips, turn off the heat and let it cool (usually about an hour depending on fruit). Then tip the cooled collector section toward the drain opening and the last juice will drain into your container (a gallon wine bottle works well).

I don't think there is an easy answer to that. It's either got to be high temps or long time. Unless you have a pressure cooker I don't think that's possible. The fruit just needs a certain amount of time and heat to break down and release it's juices. It is very easy to let the bottom pan go dry. You don't want to do that or you will ruin the unit!

If I understand your question, the answer is no. You can remove one tier, and have the other tier (half of the stack) for steaming. The tiers are stacked and equally sized.

there is a gauge in middle along with a button (in front on picture) when the steams starts coming out of the hole where the weight goes (the black piece next to gauge) you time it for 10 mins. then put the weight on and the pressure starts to build up. Once the pressure gauge reads 10 you lower heat on stove to keep the pressure steady at 10 then start to time (usually anywhere from 10-45 mins). When you are done turn heat off and wait until the gauge is at 0 and the front button goes down. Then slowly twist lid and remove by lifting the cover (tilting the back side first so steam doesn't burn your face).

Steam water and clean with a cloth while still hot. Old restaurant trick...

Add a large pinch of salt (1/2 tsp or so) and voila, full steam ahead! The more salt, the more steam, but don't overdo it.

Like you would oat meal. Add a little less water then doing it on the stove and I set it at low pressure for 12 min.

turn there is a switch on for the steam to run through the coffee that goes up--down if you want to froth the milk. Two different functions. No need to "remove" anything. Very SIMPLE thank goodness!

This answer depends on how much water you've put in the tank and how high your steam setting is. If you fill the tank to the water line, and turn the steam knob (on/off) to maximum (all the way to the right) you should get about 6-7 hours of steam. The more you lower the steam knob, the more time you will have. Hope that helps!

Use deep pot, put purified water and tea, boil then low heat 10-12minutes. Take pot from heat and let it stay 12 hours and heat again until the surface move.Use cloth for strain. Keep in ref.

No, you watch it until the steam slows down. If too dark, you cook less the next time.

Depends on how long you set the timer. It will continously produce a good amount of steam based upon the time you set.

turn off machine, bleed off steam and water from frothing tube. turn machine back on and it is ready almost immediately.

I use the steamer until all steam is used. I use the cup provided to fill it up to the line specified. I use 2 cups of water. I use very hot water from the tap so it does not take that long to heat up--I think 5 minutes. I do all my cleaning with the control on high--so it might be less than 5 minutes for you. I clean my 1-bedroom apartment; the whole kitchen (cupboards, walls, stove etc.) It takes about an hour. It tells you in the appliance book how long you should wait to refill the steamer I don't think it takes too long. I've never had to do it. The steamer is a fabulous addition to my vacuum and other appliances I own. Hope this helps. I use the steamer until all steam is used. I use the cup provided to fill it up to the line specified.

I would call Electrolux, my steamer is in the shop right now. It was not getting hot enough, & Electrolux had me bring it to a repair shop. Maybe they can help you?

2 minutes. If you start steam then move to brewing, there is a trick to cool down the machine. You can release some heat through release water at steam ward at brewing settings. It will allow you to brew immediately. You should always do brewing then move to steaming.

For some recipes you'll want to quickly cool the pot to prevent over-cooking the dish. Waiting for the steam to release via the valve can add several minutes of pressure cooking you may not want. Typically you then finish the dish by cooking a few minutes longer with the top off the pot so you know exactly when it's done (e.g., rice or risotto is the right consistency).

Place loose tea in the strainer insert, add heated water, amount of time steeped is generally a few minutes but follow the directions on the tea package itself if you're not sure. Once the tea has finished steeping, remove the strainer. I have also used tea bags, once with the bags placed directly into the steamer (not an optimal use, but I didn't have any loose tea at the time) or by just filling the tea pot and then putting the tea bags directly into the pot.
