guide to steam times

The amount of water poured into the inner bowl determines the steaming time.
As an approximate guide, 150 ml (1 cup) of water provides 15 minutes
steaming,
300 ml (2 cups) provides 30 minutes steaming etc.

hints
Cooking times are approximate
and are affected by size and
temperature of food and the
degree of cooking desired. Water
amounts may be adjusted.
If the steaming stops before the
food is sufficiently cooked, add
cold water to the inner bowl,
replace food and cover. Restart the
cooking until the food is
adequately cooked.
Accumulated steam allows foods
to continue cooking even after the
appliance has switched off.
Remove food promptly to avoid
over-cooking.
Small items cook faster than larger
ones. Food of uniform size will
cook more evenly.
Altitude affects the temperature at
which water boils and thus the
cooking time. At high altitude
longer cooking times are needed.

important
Do not keep rice warm for longer
than 1 hour. Small quantities are
best eaten straight away.
Do not reheat cooked rice in the
rice cooker.
Do not lift the lid during the keep
warm period.
We do not recommend the use of
the rice cooker for cooking packet
type savoury rice.
Always use heat resistant gloves to
remove the inner bowl, steamer
basket and lid from the appliance.
If ingredients are to be added to
cooked rice, they must be
thoroughly cooked as appropriate,
and the rice should be consumed
immediately.
Cooking always takes place in the
inner bowl. Never place food
directly in the body of the rice
cooker.
