Guide for White Rice:
* Cooking times are for 100% power, unless otherwise indicated.
Helpful Hints:
• Use stock or broth instead of water for
added flavor.
• Margarine or butter may also be added in
the same amounts used in recipes for the
stove top.
Tips:
• Cooking times and rice to water proportions vary with microwave wattage and type of rice used. For microwaves
1000 watts and above cook rice at 70% power level. The proportions above are to be used as a guide only. Consult
your guide and rice package for the best results.
• Do not cook instant rice, pure wild rice or boxed rice dishes with seasoning packets in this cooker.

Steamed New Potatoes in Sage Butter Sauce
Makes 6 to 8 servings.
1½ pounds of new red potatoes (about 4 cups)
¼ cup of water
½ cup of chopped onion
¾ teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons of chopped fresh sage leaves
¾ ground black pepper
4 tablespoons of butter at room temperature cut up into small pieces
With a vegetable peeler, peel a strip of skin from the potatoes around
the middle making a band. If some potatoes are large, cut them to the
same size. Place water and chopped onion in bottom of the Rice and
Pasta Cooker. Insert the basket. Add the potatoes. Sprinkle salt evenly
over potatoes. Snap the cover into place with locking clamps.
Microwave potatoes on high for 11 - 13 minutes or until tender. Lift
basket with potatoes out of the Cooker; set aside. Add mustard, sage
and black pepper to the remaining water and onion mixture in the
bottom of the cooker. Add potatoes to the sauce mixture along with
butter.
Stir until the butter is melted and the potatoes are coated in the sauce.
Serve immediately.
