Steaming Tips - Breville Rice Box Instruction Manual

Steaming Tips

Steamed foods retain most of their nutritional
value when cooked in the rice cooker. Foods
may be steamed by placing food in the
steaming tray over stock or water and closing
the lid. Keep the lid closed while steaming food
unless the recipe or chart specifically states to
open the lid. By opening the lid unnecessarily
steam is lost and the cooking time will be
extended.
1. Measure 3 Rice Box™ cups or more of water
or stock into the removable cooking bowl.
Use up to a maximum of
6 Rice Box™ cups of water.
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 17 and 18 for approximate cooking
times).
3. Place removable cooking bowl with
steaming tray into the outer housing and
close the lid.
4. Plug power cord into a 230V or 240V
power outlet and then switch on. The red
START light will flash
5. Select the COOK/SUSHI setting by
pressing the START button and two dashes
'--' will appear on the LED screen. The red
light on the START button will illuminate.
6. When steaming is finished, carefully open
the lid and remove foods from the steaming
tray. If further steaming is required ensure
sufficient water is in the removable cooking
bowl. If not, add more hot water or stock.
7. If no further steaming is required, press the
CANCEL button and switch the rice cooker
off at the power outlet and then unplug the
cord. Allow to cool before cleaning.

NOTE
Generally, the amount of water required for
steaming (3–6 cups water or stock) will be
retained throughout the steaming process
and this will prevent the LED screen showing
the last 12 minutes of cooking and/or
automatically switching to the WARM setting.
However, monitor the water level and do not
let the removable cooking bowl boil dry during
steaming. Hot liquid can be added during the
steaming process.
The WARM setting can be selected
independently after the Cancel button has
been pressed.
