INSTRUCTIONS
1. Put about 1" (2.5 cm) water into the pot, mount the steamer (if top mounted as shown) and cover.
2. Bring water in the base of the pot to a boil (if using a steamer basket inserted into the pot assure your water level is low enough that what you put in the basket is not sitting in the water but high enough not to boil dry).
3. Once steam fills the steamer put weiners in the steamer basket, cover and let cook for about 2 to 3 minutes.
4. Place the buns across the weiners 5. slit down. We like to open them a little to allow the steam to soften the middle as well. Buns may be steamed in a second basket 6. we do it all in one and placing the buns across the weiners helps to keep them from sticking the to basket. Steam for an additional 1 ½ to 2 minutes or until the buns are soft.
7. Use tongs or other suitable tools to lift steamed food out of the steamer. Steamed hot dogs and buns are cooked covered.
