Using the Pasta | Rice Gourmet™
• What you’ll need:
Inner Pot • Colander
1. Pour water into the inner pot (enough to cover food to be boiled).
2. Place the colander into the inner pot.
3. Place inner pot and colander into the rice cooker. Set the lid over the top.
4. Press the Pasta button. The Pasta indicator light will illuminate.
5. When the water has come to a boil, remove the lid. Carefully add pasta or other foods to the inner
pot, wearing protective oven mitts using a long-handled spoon or tongs to avoid steam burns.
Do not
re-cover with the lid.
6. Allow food to boil. Stir with a long-handled spoon and check for doneness occasionally, taking care
to use protective oven mitts to avoid steam burns. Refer to food packaging for estimated cooking
times.
7. When pasta or other food has finished cooking press the Warm/Off button twice to turn off the power.
8. Using protective oven mitts, carefully lift the colander out of the rice cooker, allowing all the water to
drain into the inner pot.
9. Empty food from colander into a serving dish.
TO COOK PASTA/BOIL:
4. Allow the steam tray to remain over the rice for the necessary amount of time, checking food every so
often for doneness and using oven mitts to avoid burns. A convenient steaming guide has been
provided on page 13 of this manual to help you determine how long various types of food will need to
cook.
5. Remove food from the steam tray immediately after cooking. Using protective oven mitts, pull up the
handles on the steam tray and carefully lift out.
6. Do not leave the filled steam tray in the inner pot after it has finished cooking. Leaving food in inner pot
may cause it to overcook.
7. After removing food, replace the lid and allow the rice to finish cooking. When it is ready, the rice
cooker will automatically switch to keep warm mode.
