HINTS & TIPS
Rice & Grains
There are many types of rice. Follow specific directions for the
variety used. See the Rice Steaming Chart in the STEAMING
CHARTS section of this Owner’s Manual for suggested cooking
times and amounts.
• Add no more than 1 cup of rice to the Cooking Bowl, plus the
appropriate amount of water and other ingredients suggested
on the Rice Steaming Chart. The amount of water will be less
than listed on the rice package because the steamer will retain
moisture. Place the Cooking Bowl into the Large/Center
Steamer Bowl; then put the Lid in place.
• For softer rice, increase the amount of water indicated in the
Rice Steaming Chart by 1 to 2 tablespoons. For firmer rice,
decrease the amount of water added to the Cooking Bowl by
1 to 2 tablespoons. The amount of water will also vary
depending on the type of rice or grain.
• At the end of the suggested cooking time specified on the
Rice Steaming Chart, use protective oven mitts to remove the
Lid. Always tilt Lid away from your face when removing to
avoid burns. Be careful not to allow condensed water to spill
into the Cooking Bowl since this would reduce the quality and
flavor of the steamed rice. Stir the rice in the Cooking Bowl
and check it for doneness and consistency.
• If excess liquid remains in the rice Cooking Bowl after rice is
done, then use a spoon or ladle to remove the excess water, a
little at a time. Replace the Lid and continue to cook for an
additional 5 minutes.
• Rice may be seasoned with salt, pepper, or butter before or
after steaming.
