HINTS FOR STEAMING RICE
1. There are many types of rice. Follow specific directions for the
variety used.
2. For softer rice, increase the amount of water indicated in the
RICE STEAMING CHART by 1 to 2 tablespoons. For firmer rice,
decrease the amount of water added to the Rice Cooking Bowl
by 1 to 2 tablespoons.
3. At the end of the suggested cooking time specified on the RICE
STEAMING CHART, use protective oven mitts to remove the
Lid. Always tilt Lid away from your face when removing to
avoid burns. Be careful not to allow condensed water to spill
into the Rice Cooking Bowl since this would reduce the quality
and flavor of the steamed rice. Stir the rice in the Rice Cooking
Bowl and check its doneness and consistency.
4. Rice may be seasoned with salt, pepper, or butter after
steaming.
