You can use the cooking plate to cook side dishes
described in the supplied “COOKBOOK” at the same
time as you cook rice. You can also add water to the
inner pot and cook side dishes without making rice.
Refer to the supplied “COOKBOOK” for directions.
Note
●
Do not cook with a greater volume of ingredients
than that indicated in the supplied “COOKBOOK”.
Doing so may cause the contents to boil over or
result in improperly cooked food.
●
When cooking dishes with a strong odor, the odor
may adhere to the cooking plate.
●
When cooking ingredients with a strong color,
that color may be transferred to the cooking plate
through the broth, etc.
●
Do not use sharp instruments like kitchen knives,
table knives, or forks inside the cooking plate.
Precautions for ingredients to
be placed in the cooking plate
● Do not fill up the cooking plate with ingredients.
●
Spread or make spaces between ingredients
so that steam is applied evenly (fill up to the
position shown below).
Ingredients
should not be
placed above
this point
●
Only use a small amount of liquid such as
water or sauce (it takes time to heat a large
amount of liquid).
●
If milk or fresh cream is separated during
use, stir it well.
●
Only use a small amount of leavening ingredients
such as pancake mix (about 1/3 of the cooking
plate). Be careful about the number of eggs
because they increase in volume (2 eggs
(medium size) for 1.0L (5.5-cup) type rice cooker,
3 eggs (medium size) for 1.8L (10-cup) type
rice cooker can be added. Adjustment may be
necessary when you add other ingredients.).
●
Cut the root vegetables in thin slices as it
takes a long time to cook them.
●
Using the cooking plate, only steaming is possible.
* If heating is not sufficient while cooking by
following the above suggestions, transfer the
ingredients to another container, and reheat
them using a device such as a microwave (do
not put the inner pot and cooking plate in the
microwave).
1
Prepare the ingredients and
place them in the cooking plate.
• Stacking ingredients on top of each other
may result in the contents boiling over or in
improperly cooked food. Spread ingredients
over the whole of the cooking plate.
2
Make the necessary
preparations for cooking rice.
(See p.14.)
Note
●
Refer to the following table for the acceptable
amounts of rice that can be cooked concurrently
with food. Do not cook more than the acceptable
maximum or less than the minimum required
amounts. Doing so may cause the contents to boil
over or result in improperly cooked food.

of the broth may overflow down into the rice.
