Hints:
Since most vegetables
only absorb a small
amount of water, there
is no need to increase
the amount of water
with a larger serving of
vegetables.
To ensure meat tastes
its best and to prevent
food-borne illness,
check that the meat is
completely cooked prior
to serving. If the meat
is still uncooked, simply
add more water to the
inner pot and repeat the
steaming process until
the meat is adequately
cooked.
Note:
· Altitude, humidity and
outside temperature will
affect cooking times.
· These steaming charts
are for reference only.
Actual cooking times
may vary.
· Food should not be left
in the rice cooker on
Keep Warm for more
than 12 hours.
