•  If rice is not completely cooked, allow to stand covered for 10 to 15 minutes to 

finish cooking. 

•  Use only water to cook rice. Other liquids can create a boil over. 
•  Doneness of rice can vary depending on quality and type. For firmer rice use 

slightly less water, for softer rice, use slightly more water. 

•  A thin crust will form on bottom of cooked rice, which is normal. This crust may 

be eaten if desired. 

•  Use the plastic serving spoon or a wooden spoon to stir and serve rice. Do not 

use metal spoons or utensils as damage can occur. 

• 

Leftover rice can be refrigerated in separate covered container for a few days if 
desired

. 

•  Altitude affects the temperature at which water boils therefore affecting the 

cooking time. It’s especially true at high altitudes where longer cooking times are 
necessary. 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. 

•  Cut food into uniform pieces and arrange evenly in steam basket. 
•  Do not thaw frozen vegetables before steaming. 
•  Stir frozen vegetables halfway through cooking time for best results. 
•  Season vegetables after steaming. 
•  Steaming time is subject to your own personal tastes; do you prefer crunchy 

steamed vegetables or softer vegetables. Adapt steaming times and 
measurements to your own personal tastes. Experiment and have some fun.
