Using Your Steamer/Rice
Cooker to Cook Rice
1 Only measure rice with the enclosed measuring cup. For best results
rinse measured rice until the water becomes relatively clear (see
“Helpful Hints” section for details).
2 Place rinsed rice in the pot, add water. For 7 cups of uncooked
rice (yields 14 cups of cooked rice), measure 7 full scoops of rice,
using the rice measure included with your unit. Add to the
Steamer/Rice Cooker Pot.
3 Add water to the 7 cup line on the inside of the pot. Always add the
rice to the pot BEFORE adding the water to the pot. The water level
marked on the inner pot is based upon having rice added already.
4 Place the pot in the Steamer/Rice Cooker.
5 Close the outer lid. The lid is properly closed when it clicks.
6 Plug in and immediately press the switch down to “Cook”.
The “Cook” indicator light will illuminate to indicate the rice
is cooking.
7 The Steamer/Rice Cooker will automatically switch to “Keep Warm”
when the cooking process has completed. The Keep Warm function
will continue until the unit is unplugged.
8 Open the Steamer/Rice Cooker by pressing the release button on
the handle. Be sure to open the lid facing away from you to avoid
any hot steam.
9 Remove and clean the condensation collector after every use.
Using Your Steaming Trays
Using the Inner Tray only
1 Pour 1 cup of water into the Inner Pot.
2 Place Inner Pot in the Rice Cooker Housing and place the Inner
Steaming Tray inside the pot.
3 Add ingredients to Steaming Tray (see “Steaming Chart” in this
manual for suggested cooking times).
4 When using the Inner Steaming Tray it is not necessary to use the
Glass Lid, simply use the Rice Cooker Lid. The Lid is properly closed
when it clicks.
5 Plug in and immediately press the switch down to “COOK”. The
“COOK” indicator light will illuminate to indicate that the steaming
process has started.
6 Time the cooking manually as the unit will automatically switch to
“KEEP WARM” should the water evaporate.
Using Multiple Trays
When using more than one tray to steam you must use the Glass Lid
that comes with your steamer.
1 Place 1 cup of water into the Inner Pot for each Steaming Tray used.
For example, if using all three trays (1 inner that nests inside the rice
pot, and two stacking) place 3 cups of water into the inner pot.
2 Add ingredients to Steaming Trays (see “Steaming Chart” in this
manual for suggested cooking times). Place the ingredients with the
least amount of cooking time required on top and place the Glass
Lid on the tray.
3 Plug in and immediately press the switch down to “COOK”. The
“COOK” indicator light will illuminate to indicate steaming process
has started.
4 Time the cooking manually as the unit will automatically switch to
“KEEP WARM” should the water evaporate.
Steaming is one of the oldest ways to cook foods. It has been around for
many thousands of years and is both healthful and economical. Steamed
fruits and vegetables are highly regarded among chefs for their color,
texture and flavors that are far superior to other cooking methods such
as boiling or blanching. This is because steaming is a very gentle way
to cooking.
