EGGS
Fresh eggs (no more than a week old) are best as the whites will remain close
to the yolk for a more round appearance. Use eggs at room temperature for
best results. As eggs age, the whites ‘thin out’. Eggs will no longer be tough
because steaming provides a moist and gentle method of cooking.
Use Rice Bowl when cooking scrambled or poached eggs.
For ufer scrambled eggs, add 1 Tbs. water per egg and mix.
To poach eggs, add 1 Tbs. vinegar to water in base to help egg whites congeal.

RICE & GRAINS
To enhance the avors 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 ll reservoir to minimum level before connecting to power supply.
There are many types of rice. Follow specic directions for variety used.
Check if done and consistency of rice at minimum time specied 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 rm 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 avor and quality of the steamed rice.
