Rice Cooking Guide
NOTE: The rice cooker rice measuring cup = 180ml. If you misplace the rice measuring cup, any cup including a standard metric cup can be used, but it is important that the ratios are abided to. Do not leave the rice cooker on the ‘WARM’ cycle for longer than 5 hours.
The quantity of water used will depend on the age and strain of the rice, as well as personal taste.

Steaming
Steamed food retains most of its nutritional value. Food may be steamed by placing it on the steaming tray over stock or water and covering with the glass lid. Keep the glass lid on while steaming unless the recipe or chart specifically calls for removing the lid. By removing the lid unnecessarily, you lose steam and valuable time.
1.Place 3 rice measuring cups or more of water or stock into the removable cooking bowl
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 11 and 12 for approximate cooking times).
