3-HEATER SYSTEM
The improved 3-Heater System warms from the top, sides, and bottom so that rice may be
held for up to 18 hours while remaining moist and fluffy throughout.
STEAMING BASKET
1. The steamer basket holds up to 8 cups of cut-up vegetables or other foods.
2. Fill the cooking bowl with about 1-1/2 cups (12 fl. oz./350 ml) of water using
a standard measuring cup.
3. Place vegetables or other food in the steamer basket, and position the basket on top
of the cooking bowl.
4. Close the lid. Press down until you hear a click.
Note:
Always keep the lid closed while cooking.
5. Plug unit into a standard electrical outlet. The Warm light will come on.
6. Press the Cook button to begin cooking.
7. Steaming times vary according to vegetable or food type. Begin checking for doneness
after initial 5 minutes. You may need to experiment to suit your taste.
8. Unplug the unit when finished.
Note:
When steaming vegetables or other foods without rice in the cooking bowl, the unit
will not switch to the Warm mode.
Important Tips:
• During cooking, a thin crust may develop on the rice at the bottom of the bowl. If you
do not like rice with crust, you can easily peel it off from the nonstick cooking bowl and
discard it.
• Use the plastic serving scoop (or a wooden spoon) to stir and remove rice—do not use
metal utensils that can scratch the nonstick cooking bowl.
If desired, add seasonings and oil or butter with rice before adding water.
Allow rice to rest on warm at least 15 minutes before serving.
