This is important for two reasons. First of all it removes harmful chemicals and secondly it allows enough water to cling to the food to mix with the natural juices, which will help to get the waterless nutritional cooking process started.
Control the heat

Start cooking at medium heat. When the slightest puff of steam escapes on the side of the lid lower the heat to low or simmer. After this, you may start counting for the cooking time. The lid now has formed a natural seal with the pot. We recommend to use 3-5 tablespoons of water in the beginning.
Don't peek
Every time the cover is removed during the cooking period, heat and steam are allowed to escape, which will lengthen the cooking period and dry out the food. If you can't resist the urge to peek, never forget to add a few extra tablespoons of water. Be specific: If the recipe calls for 10 minutes, don't start looking after 5 minutes.
