Caution:
Do not attempt to cook
more than 5 cups of
uncooked rice when
steaming and cooking
simultaneously.
Before placing the inner
pot into the cooker,
check that it is dry and
free of debris. Adding
the inner pot when
wet may damage the
cooker.
Note:
· Food can be steamed
at any time while rice
cooks. However, for best
results, food should be
steamed towards the
end of the rice cooking
cycle. This will allow
for rice and steamed
food to be ready at
the same time. See the
"Rice/Grain & Water
Measurement Tables"
on pages
8-9
.
· Food should not be left
in the cooker on
Keep
Warm
mode for more
than 12 hours.
· Altitude, humidity and
outside temperature will
affect cooking times.
· These steaming charts
are for reference only.
Actual cooking times
may vary.

Hints:
Since most vegetables
only absorb a small
amount of water, there
is no need to increase
the amount of water
with a larger serving of
vegetables.
To ensure meat tastes
its best and to prevent
food-borne illness,
check that the meat is
completely cooked prior
to serving. If the meat
is still uncooked, simply
add more water to the
inner pot and repeat the
steaming process until
the meat is adequately
cooked.
Helpful
Hints:
Smaller foods may
be placed on a heat
resistant dish and then
placed onto the steam
tray. Parchment paper
or aluminum foil may
be used as well. Place
the paper foil in the
center of the steam tray
and ensure it does not
create a seal along the
bottom of the steam
tray. For best results,
it is recommended to
puncture small holes in
the paper/foil.
For suggested steaming
times and water
amounts, see the “Meat
& Vegetable Steaming
Tables” on the next
page.
