HELPFUL HINTS
1. Since most vegetables only absorb a small amount of water, there is no
need to increase the amount of water with a larger serving of
vegetables.
2. When steaming and cooking rice simultaneously, follow the
measurements for cooking rice on page 7. Place the steam tray over
the rice as it cooks for the amount of time needed, checking foods
every so often for doneness. Do not cook more than 1-1/2 cups
(uncooked) rice while steaming, or the steam tray will not fit into the rice
cooker.
3. Always keep the lid closed during the entire steaming process. Opening
the lid causes a loss of heat and steam, resulting in a slower cooking
time. If you find it necessary to open the lid, you may want to add a
small amount of water to help restore the cooking time.
4. Altitude, humidity and outside temperature will affect cooking times.
5. The steaming chart is for reference only. Actual cooking time may vary.
