TIPS AND HINTS

RICE AND GRAINS
1. There are many types of rice. Follow specific directions for
variety used.
2. Accurate measuring of rice and water when combined in RICE BOWL.
Pour specified amount of water in WATER RESERVOIR. Cover and
steam.
3. For softer rice, increase water mixed with rice by 1-2 tablespoons. For
firmer rice decrease water mixed with rice by the same amount.
4. Check doneness and consistency of rice at minimum time specified
for each type, stirring rice at the same time.
5. When checking or stirring rice, be careful not to drip the
condensation into the RICE BOWL which would reduce the quality
and flavor of the rice.
6. Use only clean water in the WATER RESERVOIR.
7. Rice may be seasoned with salt, pepper or butter after steaming.

TIPS AND HINTS (CONT.)
VEGETABLES
1. Clean the vegetables thoroughly. Cut off stems; trim; peel or chop if
necessary. Smaller pieces steam faster than larger ones.
2. Quantity, quality, freshness and size temperature of frozen foods, may
affect steam timing. Adjust water amounts and cooking times as
desired.
3. Frozen vegetables should not be thawed before steaming.
4. Some frozen vegetables should be placed in the rice bowl and
covered with a piece of aluminum foil during steaming. The frozen
foods should be separated or stirred after 10-12 minutes using a long
handle fork or spoon.
