RICE AND GAINS
●
To enhance the flavors of Rice and Grains, use half consomme or broth and half water in the
Rice Dish. Never put anything but water in the Water Reservoir (base unit).
●
Always fill reservoir to minimum level before connecting to power supply.
●
There are many types of rice. Follow specific directions for variety used.
●
Check if done and consistency of rice at minimum time specified in chart, while stirring rice at
same time.
●
For softer rice, increase water in Rice Bowl (2 - 3 Tbs.) and increase cooking time
approximately 5 - 7 minutes. For more firm rice, reduce water and time by same amount.
●
When checking or stirring rice be careful not to drip the condensate into the Rice Bowl, which
would degrade the flavor and quality of the steamed rice.

VEGETABLES
●
Steaming will bring out the fresh flavor, color and texture of the vegetable. Steamed vegetables
are fat-free and low in calories. The nutrients are steamed into the vegetables and not cooked
out.
●
Always fill reservoir to at least minimum level before connecting to power supply.
●
Clean vegetables thoroughly. Remove stems, peel or chop if needed. Smaller pieces of food
steam more quickly than larger pieces.
●
Frozen vegetables should not be thawed before steaming. Stir after steaming 10 - 12 minutes.
●
Quantity, quality, freshness and size of foods will affect the steaming times. Adjust water
amounts and steaming time as desired.
