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
Savoury Rice
Prepare the rice in the Rice Duo 7 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 7 as specified
substituting half the water with apple juice, orange

bottom of the removable cooking bowl.

1
⁄
teaspoon of saffron powder or 2 saffron
4
threads to every 2 cups of water. Use the white rice
cooking tables. Mix well.

Wild Rice
It is not recommended to cook wild rice alone in the
Rice Duo 7 as it requires a substantial amount of
water. It is possible to cook wild rice as a blend with
white or brown rice.
Steaming foods
Steamed foods retain most of their nutritional value
when cooked in the Rice Duo 7. Foods may be
steamed by placing food in the stainless steel
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 Duo cups or more of water or
stock into the removable cooking bowl. Use up to
a maximum of 6 Rice Duo 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 the pages 11 –13 for approximate
cooking times).
3. Place removable cooking bowl with the steaming
tray into Stainless Steel Housing and cover with
the glass lid.
4. Plug into a 230/240-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 7. If further steaming is required
ensure sufficient water is in the removable
cooking bowl. If not, add more hot water
or stock.
ALWAYS LIFT AND REMOVE THE LID CAREFULLY, ANGLING IT AWAY FROM YOURSELF TO
AVOID SCALDING FROM ESCAPING STEAM.
7. If no further steaming is required, turn the Rice
Duo 7 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
Do not let the removable cooking bowl boil dry
during steaming.
Note
Hot liquid can be added during the
steaming process.
Note
Both steaming trays can be stacked or
used separately.
Note
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 may be steamed.
•
If steaming 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.
