COOKING GUIDE

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 instructions

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 6 cups (uncooked) white rice while steaming (4 cups if

using brown rice), or the steam tray will not fit into the rice cooker.

3. When possible 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. It is not suggested to keep food in the cooker on keep warm for longer

than 5-10 minutes, to avoid over cooking.
