Steaming Food
General Information
Keep the Glass Lid on while cooking or steaming food, unless the
recipe or chart specially calls for removing it. By removing the Glass Lid
unnecessarily, you lose steam and valuable time. If you must remove it to
stir or to add an ingredient, have the rice paddle or ingredient ready,
add it, stir quickly and just as quickly replace the Glass Lid.
Using the Wire Cooking Rack
to Steam Foods
1. Using a liquid measuring cup, add 2-1/2 cups (20 ounces) of water
to the Cooking Pot.
2. Place the Wire Cooking Rack on the bottom of the Cooking Pot.
3. Larger vegetables can be placed directly on the Wire Cooking
Rack. A heat-resistant steaming basket may be used to cook smaller
vegetables. Place steaming basket in the bottom of the Cooking Pot
and add smaller vegetables. Replace Glass Lid.
4. Replace Cooking Pot back into the Automatic Rice Cooker’s Main
Housing. Rotate it slightly to make sure that it is well seated on the
heating plate.
5. Plug into a 120V AC electrical outlet. Press the Rice Cooking
Selector Lever down to the COOK mode. The red COOK Light will
illuminate. The cooking process begins as soon as the Light
illuminates.
6. The times in the cooking chart are approximate. Set a timer and
check for doneness at the suggested cooking time; continue
cooking if necessary. The size and shape as well as personal taste
may call for adjustments. If you want softer vegetables, add more
water if necessary, and steam for additional time. Do not allow the
water in the Cooking Pot to boil dry.
7. At the end of the cooking time, unplug the Automatic Rice Cooker
from the wall.
NOTE:
Using the WARM mode for vegetables is not recommended.
8. Use the paddle provided or any other non-metallic long-handle
utensil to remove the vegetables from the Rice Cooker. Allow the
Automatic Rice Cooker to cool completely before cleaning.
