Vegetable Steaming Chart and Tips
• The more vegetables added to the steamer basket, the longer the
steam time should be.
• Smaller pieces of vegetables will steam faster than larger pieces.
• Allowing rice to “rest” for approximately 5–10 minutes after
cooking will yield better-textured rice.
• Give vegetables or rice a flavor boost by substituting an equal
amount of chicken/beef/vegetable broth for water.
• Note that the steam times listed here are approximate and for
reference only.
• Cook time may vary from the programmed time based on actual
amounts of ingredients and water. The rice cooker will adjust time
as necessary.
