· These steaming charts are for reference only. Actual cooking times may vary depending on
the cut of meat being used.
· Altitude, humidity and outside temperature will affect steaming times.
· Since most vegetables only absorb a small amount of water, there is no need to increase the
amount of water when steaming a large serving of vegetables.
· To ensure meat tastes its best, and to prevent foodborne illness, check that meat is completely
cooked prior to serving. If it is not, simply place more water in the inner pot and repeat the
cooking process until the meat is cooked.
· To add more flavor to rice, try substituting a favorite meat or vegetable broth or stock. The
ratio of broth/stock to rice will be the same as water to rice.
· Brown rice takes longer to cook and requires more water than white rice due to the extra
bran layers on the grains.
The water lines in the inner pot are meant for white rice only.
Please see the charts above for brown rice and grain water ratios.
· Brown rice, wild rice and rice mixes vary in their make-up. Some variations may require
longer cooking times and/or additional water in order to achieve optimum results. Refer to
the individual package instructions for cooking suggestions.
·
Do not place more than 4 cups of uncooked rice (3 cups of brown rice) into this appliance
at one time.
The maximum capacity of this unit is 4 cups of uncooked rice (3 cups of brown
rice) which yields 8 cups of cooked rice (6 cups of brown rice).
