Steaming
Steamed foods retain most of their nutritional value when cooked in the Rice Cooker. Foods may be steamed by placing food in the steaming tray over stock or water and covering with the glass lid. Keep the glass lid on while steaming food unless the recipe or chart specifically states to remove the lid. By removing the lid unnecessarily steam is lost and the cooking time will be extended.
1.Measure 3 Rice Master cups or more of water or stock into the removable cooking bowl. Use up to a maximum of 6 Rice Master cups of water.
2.Place food to be steamed directly onto the steaming tray and insert into the removable cooking bowl. (Refer to the Steaming Charts on pages
3.Place removable cooking bowl with steaming tray into the outer housing and cover with glass lid.
4.Plug power cord into a 230V or 240V power outlet and then switch on. The amber ‘Warm’ light will illuminate.
5.Push the Selector Control down to begin cooking. The red ‘Cook’ light will illuminate.
6.When steaming is complete, the amber ‘Warm’ light will illuminate. Remove foods from the Rice Cooker. If further steaming is required ensure sufficient water is in the removable cooking bowl. If not, add more hot water or stock.
7.Turn the Rice Cooker off at the power outlet and then unplug power cord. Allow to cool before cleaning.
NOTE
Do not let the removable cooking bowl boil dry during steaming. Hot liquid can be added during the steaming process.
WARNING
Always lift and remove the lid carefully, angling it away from yourself to avoid scalding from escaping steam.
