USING YOUR RICE COOKER
To Steam Food And Cook Rice Simultaneously:
One of the most convenient features of this rice cooker is the ability to both cook
rice and steam food simultaneously, ideal for creating delicious, all-in-one meals.
1. Place the desired amount of rice and appropriate amount of water into the
inner pot. See "To Cook Rice" on page 4 for details.
2. Place the inner pot into the unit and begin to cook the rice.
NOTE:
• Do not attempt to cook more than 1½ cups (uncooked) of rice if steaming
and cooking rice simultaneously. The steam tray will not fit.
3. Refer to the steaming guides for vegetables (page 9) or meat (page 10) for
hints and approximate steaming times. It is best to insert the food to be
steamed toward the end of the rice cooking cycle so that your meal is fresh
and warm all at once. See the "Rice/Water Measurement Tables" included on
Page 6 for approximate rice cooking times.
4. Place your choice of vegetables or meat into the steam tray. Remove the lid,
using caution as steam escaping will be extremely hot, and place steam tray
into the rice cooker.
HELPFUL HINTS:
• Smaller foods may be placed in a heat-proof dish and then placed into
the steam tray.
• To prevent jucies from food being steamed dripping down onto the rice,
food may be placed onto a heat-proof dish placed inside the steam tray.
5. Replace the lid and allow the cooker to resume cooking.
6. Once food has been steamed for the appropriate time remove the lid. Use
caution when removing the lid as steam escaping will be extremely hot.
Remove the steam tray and check food to be sure it has been thoroughly
cooked. Exercise caution when removing the steam tray as well, as it will be
hot.
7. If the rice has not finished cooking, replace the lid of the rice cooker and allow
rice to continue to cook until done. Once the rice is finished, the rice cooker
will automatically switch to "Keep-Warm" mode.
8. The rice cooker will remain on "Keep-Warm" mode until it is unplugged. Be sure to
unplug the cord from the wall outlet when not in use.
NOTE:
• It is possible to steam at any point during the rice cooking cycle.
However, it is recommended that you steam during the end of the cycle
so that steamed food does not grow cold or become soggy before the
rice is ready.
