Page: 23 / 187

You can use the cooking plate to cook side dishes at the
same time as you cook rice (soup).
You can also add water to the inner pot and cook side
dishes without making rice.
See the supplied Cookbook for instructions.
Note
y
Do not cook with a greater volume of
ingredients than as indicated in the
supplied cookbook. Doing so may
cause the contents to boil over or result
in improperly cooked food.
y
When cooking dishes with a strong
odor, the odor may remain on the
cooking plate.
y
When cooking ingredients with a strong
color, that color may be transferred to
the cooking plate through the broth,
etc.
y
Do not use sharp instruments like
kitchen knives, table knives, or forks
inside the cooking plate.

cooking experience
<Notes on ingredients for the cooking plate>
y
Do not overfill the cooking plate.
y
Arrange ingredients evenly in the base of the
cooking plate, and leave enough space for steam to
escape from each ingredient (use the level shown
in the following illustration as a guide).
y
Use as little water or soup as you can (if there is too
much liquid, it may not be heated sufficiently).
y
Make sure that milk, fresh cream, etc. are mixed
well.
y
When cooking food that expands, such as a
hotcake mix, only use a small amount (about 1/3 of
the depth of the cooking plate as a guide). Since
eggs also expand, only cook one or two at once.
As this also depends on the amount of other
ingredients used and the size of the eggs, adjust
the amount as necessary.
y
Slice up ingredients that are difficult to cook
thoroughly, such as root vegetables.
y
The cooking plate is designed for steam cooking
only. It cannot be used to fry or bake.
Note
If ingredients are insufficiently cooked
even after following the points above,
move them into another container and
heat in a microwave etc. (the inner pot
and the cooking plate cannot be placed in
a microwave).
Basic steps for synchro-cooking
1
Prepare the ingredients and
place them in the cooking
plate.
Ú
Spread ingredients over the whole of the cooking
plate and avoid stacking them. Doing so may cause
the contents to boil over or result in improperly
cooked food.
2
Make the necessary
preparations for cooking
rice or soup.

Note
<When cooking rice>
See 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.
Maximum Minimum
1 cup 0.5 cup
<When making soup>
Use the "Plain" scale on the inner pot to
measure the ingredients for the soup as
shown in the following table. Adding more
than the maximum may cause the
contents to boil over or result in
improperly cooked food. If the ingredients
are less than the minimum, they may
burn.
Maximum Minimum
1.5 or less on the
Plain scale
1 or more on the
