Kumo Multi-Function Rice Cooker by Yum Asia
5. HOW TO USE THE STEAM FUNCTION
You can use this appliance as a stand alone steamer or you can cook rice at the same time as steaming
food. If steaming whilst cooking rice, you would use one of the rice functions and add the steaming
basket to the inner bowl. You can steam different types of food in the steaming basket.
Here is a guide for estimated cooking different types of food on the ‘STEAM’ function:
INGREDIENTS AMOUNT COOKING TIME TIPS FOR STEAMING
Carrot 150g 20 mins Cut into bite-size pieces
Broccoli 150g 15 mins Cut into bite-size pieces
Spinach 80g 15 mins Cut into bite-size pieces
Pumpkin 200g 20 mins Cut into bite-size pieces
Potato 250g 40 mins Cut into bite-size pieces
Sweet Potato 200g 35 mins Cut into bite-size pieces
Corn 150g 30 mins Cut into bite-size pieces
Chicken 250g 30 mins Make cuts on side touching steam

fillets

foil
Prawn 150g/7 pcs 20 mins Steam without removing shells
Scallop 150g 20 mins Remove from shell (recommended
to line the steam basket with
Chinese leaves or similar to prevent
sticking)
Refrigerated Meat

Frozen Meat

IMPORTANT - Do not steam food over 3.5cm thick.
If you would like to combine cooking rice with steaming, it is recommended that 1 cup of rice is the
maximum capacity you can cook. Any more than this, there is a danger as the rice cooks, the steaming
basket will push into the lid and pop it open.
If cooking rice and steaming at the same time, you can open the lid (very carefully, minding the steam
that is released from the unit) to add the steaming basket part way through the cooking cycle so the
vegetables are not over-cooked.
