Tips
•Add a little extra water for fluffier rice and a little less water for firmer rice.
•Some rice varieties may require more water for cooking, such as wild rice blends, Arborio rice or short grain rice. Follow the directions on the packet or use the brown rice cooking table.
Rice variations
Savory Rice
Prepare the rice in the Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker as specified, substituting all the water with the same quantity of chicken, beef, fish, or vegetable stock.
Apple juice, orange juice or pineapple juice may be substituted for half of the water quantity.
Sweet Rice
Prepare the rice in the Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker as specified, substituting half the water with apple juice, orange juice or pineapple juice. Cooking rice with milk or cream is not recommended as it will burn onto the bottom of the removable cooking bowl.
Saffron Rice
Add 1⁄4 teaspoon of saffron powder or 2 saffron threads to every 2 cups of water. Use the white rice cooking tables. Mix well.
Arborio Rice
Arborio rice is short
Jasmine Rice
Jasmine rice is fragrant long grain rice. Use the white rice cooking tables.
Wild Rice
It is not recommended to cook wild rice alone in the Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker as it requires a substantial amount of water. It is possible to cook wild rice as a blend with white or brown rice.
Steamed foods retain most of their nutritional value when cooked in the Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker. Foods may be steamed by placing food in the stainless steel steaming trays cover 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 2 Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker cups or more of water or stock to the removable cooking bowl. Use up to a maximum of 6 Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker cups of water.
2.Place food to be steamed directly onto the stainless steel steaming tray and insert into the removable cooking bowl. (Refer to the Steaming Charts on pages
3.Place removable cooking bowl with the steaming tray into Stainless Steel Housing and cover with the glass lid.
4.Plug into 110/120 volt power outlet and then switch on. The amber ‘Keep Warm’ light will illuminate.
5.Push the Selector Control down to begin cooking. The red ‘Cook’ light will illuminate.
6.When steaming is complete, remove foods from the Rice Duo 10 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.If no further steaming is required, turn the Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker off at the power outlet and then unplug. Allow to cool before cleaning.
When the cooking bowl is removed to discard water, the Selector Control will reset to the ‘Keep Warm’ position.

Hints and tips for steaming vegetables
•Smaller pieces will steam faster than larger pieces
•Try to keep vegetables to a standard size to ensure even cooking
•Fresh or frozen vegetables, do not thaw.
•The size and shape of vegetables, as well as personal taste, may call for adjustments to the cooking time. If softer vegetables are required, allow extra cooking time.
•Do not allow water or stock to reach the stainless steel tray. The steaming will not be effective.
ALWAYS LIFT AND REMOVE THE LID CAREFULLY, ANGLING IT AWAY FROM YOURSELF TO AVOID SCALDING FROM ESCAPING STEAM.
