water, but to slightly reduce the steaming time you may begin
using warm (but not boiling) water.
• The rice bowl is an ideal container for steaming other foods such
as fruits, vegetables, puddings, etc…

• Always place the largest pieces or food with the longest cooking
time (including rice) in the lower basket.
• You may place a different food in the 3 baskets, but as
condensation will drip from the upper baskets be sure the
flavours compliment each other.
• If steaming meat or poultry and vegetables, always place the
meat or poultry in the lower bowl so that juices from raw or
partially cooked meat cannot drip onto other foods.
• Steaming times for food in the upper trays are usually slightly
longer so allow an extra 5-8 minutes.
• If foods with different cooking times are being steamed, start the food
with the longest cooking time in the lower tray. Then when the
remaining steaming time reaches that of food with the shortest cooking
time, carefully remove the lid with oven gloves and place other baskets
containing the food to be cooked on top. Cover with the lid and
continue steaming.
