cooking rice and steaming food at the same time
7
One useful function of this rice cooker is that you can cook rice and steam food simultaneously. This is ideal for
making one-pot meals.
1. Put the desired quantity of rice and the required amount of water into the inner pan. For detailed instructions on how to do this,
read Chapter 4: Cooking Rice.
Do not add more than 6 measuring cups of (uncooked) white rice or 4 measuring cups of (uncooked) brown rice if you also wish
to steam food in the steaming basket. The steaming basket will not fit into the rice cooker if you put too much rice in the inner pan.
2. Check that the outside of the inner pan is dry before placing it in the rice cooker. Ensure that the inner pan is properly in contact
with the heating element.
3. Close the lid properly: make sure that it clicks shut. Once the lid is shut, the cooking will start.
It is better to add the steaming basket containing the food later on. This helps ensure all of the food is ready at the same time.
4. Put the vegetables or meat you wish to steam in the steaming basket. Open the lid of the rice cooker.
Caution:
This may release
hot steam. Place the steaming basket in the rice cooker.
5. Close the lid properly. The rice cooker will resume cooking.
6. Open the lid when the food has been cooked for the desired time.
Caution:
This may release hot steam. Use oven gloves to
remove the steaming basket and check that the food is properly cooked.
7. Close the lid properly and allow the rice cooker to resume cooking the rice.
8. When the rice is ready, the rice cooker will automatically switch to heat mode: the HEAT indicator light will stay on and the COOK
indicator light will go out.
The rice cooker will keep the rice warm until you pull the plug out of the socket.
Switch off the rice cooker by pulling the plug out of the socket.
