The steaming times in this chart are a guide and should be adjusted to suit the
different quantities or thickness of food and to suit your own taste.

STEAMING TIME AND TEMPERATURE

*Altitude affects the temperature at which water boils and thus the cooking time.
It’s especially true at high altitudes where longer cooking times are necessary. We
have outlined a general guide to follow. Test for desired consistency when cooking
times indicated have been reached. As you cook with this appliance, adapt times
and measurements to your own personal tastes.

1. Clean and prepare your food or vegetables.
2. Place the INNER POT into the RICE COOKER HEATING UNIT. The length of

steaming time is subject to your own personal tastes: depending if you prefer
al dente (crunchy) or more well done steamed vegetables.

3. Find the vegetable on the steaming chart on the following page. Measure the

water needed according to the time vegetables are required to cook. Add
water accordingly to the INNER POT.

4 ounces of water = 7 - 9 minutes
8 ounces of water = 15 - 17 minutes

4. Place the STEAMING BASKET on the rim of the inner pot.
5. Add vegetables and put the LID onto the appliance. Switch to COOK position

for the appropriate time as shown in the chart.

6. Please unplug this appliance after use.
NOTE: The rice cooker doesn’t automatically turn to warm setting when steaming
is done, watch time and manually stop cooking cycle.
