USING YOUR RICE COOKER

To Steam Food:

1. When steaming only, add the appropriate amount of water to the inner pot according to the food to be cooked. A convenient steaming guide has been provided on page 10 for vegetables and page 11 for meats.

2. Place food into the steam tray. Smaller foods may be placed in a heat-proof dish and then placed into the steam tray.

3. Set the inner pot into the body of the rice cooker, making sure that the exterior is clean and completely dry, then place the steam tray into the inner pot. Close the lid and plug the power cord into a wall outlet.

Short on time?

The steam/cook function can be used as a quick cook mode for your rice. This will forego the soaking cycle, saving a significant amount of time. However, we only recommend doing this if time is of the essence. The rice produced by quick cooking will not be nearly as good as if the full, proper rice cycle was used.
