To add more flavor to rice, try substituting water for a favorite meat or vegetable broth or stock. The ratio of broth/stock to rice will be the same as water to rice.
For approximate grain cooking times and suggested grain/ water ratios, see the "Rice/Grain & Water Measurement Tables".
The cooker will not switch to Keep Warm mode until all liquid has evaporated. Follow your recipe carefully and do not leave the rice cooker unattended.

Helpful Hints:
Parchment paper or aluminum foil may also be used while steaming. Place the paper/foil in the center of the steam tray and ensure it does not create a seal along the bottom of the tray.
We recommend beginning to steam your foods towards the end of the rice cooking cycle. This will allow steamed food and cooked grains to be ready around the same time. See the "Rice/Grain & Water Measurement Tables" for approximate cooking times.
Do not attempt to cook more than 2 cups of uncooked rice when steaming and cooking simultaneously.

*When steaming, Aroma recommends using 2 cups of water with the provided measuring cup.
Helpful 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.
