• Stir prepackaged, boxed rice mixes at least once during cooking; otherwise,
spices may stick to the bottom of the cooking pot. For best results, unplug unit
when finished cooking this type of rice. Do not "keep warm."
• Rinsing rice will sometimes increase bubbling during cooking. When cooking a half
pot or less of rice, minimize bubbling/overflow by reducing water by about one-third.
• Allowing rice to "rest" for approximately 5–10 minutes after cooking will yield
better-textured rice.

Softer Vegetables
(ex. zucchini, squash)
Firmer Vegetables
(ex. broccoli, corn on the cob, carrots)
• The more vegetables added to the steamer basket, the longer the steam time
should be.
• Smaller pieces of vegetables will steam faster than larger pieces.
