Fill steaming basket with desired food. Position the filled basket onto the rim of the rice pot. 3 3. Close the cover securely and plug the rice cooker into a 120 volt wall outlet. 4. Press the one-touch control down and the red cook light will illuminate. Refer to the steaming chart below for approximate steaming times and set a timer for the suggested time. Caution: During cooking and warming it is normal for steam to escape from the steam vent in the cover. To prevent steam burns, keep hands and face away from the vent. 5. Once the suggested time is up, carefully open the cover to check for doneness. If cooking is complete, unplug the rice cooker. 6. Using hot pads, immediately lift the removable rice pot out of the rice cooker and set on a heat resistant pad. Remove food from steaming basket. To Cook Rice and Steam Food Simultaneously: When cooking rice and steaming food at the same time, do not cook more than 5 scoops uncooked rice. 1. Place the desired amount of rice and recommended amount of water into the rice pot. Refer to the “To Cook Rice” instructions on pages 2 and 3 and begin cooking rice as directed. 2. Refer to the steaming chart below for steaming times. Only those foods that have steaming times similar to the cooking time for the amount of rice being prepared should be placed in the rice cooker at the same time as the rice. For best results, foods with shorter cooking times should be added toward the end of the rice cooking time, so they are done at the same time as the rice. 3. Place the desired food into the steaming basket. Open the cover, being careful to avoid escaping steam, and place the filled basket onto the rim of the rice pot. Close the cover securely and set a timer for the suggested steaming time (refer to the chart below). 4. Once the suggested steaming time is up, carefully open the cover and check for doneness. If cooking is complete, using hot pads, carefully lift the steaming basket out of the pot. 5. If additional cooking time is needed for the rice, close the cover and allow the rice to continue cooking until done. When the rice is finished cooking the unit will automatically switch to the WARM mode and the amber warm light will illuminate. 6. Do not leave rice in the pot on the WARM setting for more than 8 hours. Always unplug the rice cooker when the unit is not in use. STEAMING CHART Food may be steamed while the rice is cooking. Steam foods together that have similar cooking times. When not cooking rice, use 2 rice measuring scoops of water for steaming.

Cook the vegetables the minimum amount of time indicated if you prefer your vegetables crisp. If you prefer your vegetables soft, cook the maximum amount of time indicated. 4 HElPFUl HINTS • If desired, white rice may be rinsed in cold water prior to cooking. Rinsing makes rice less sticky by removing some of the starch. Rinse rice in another bowl or colander until water is clear. Brown rice, which has the bran intact, does not benefit from rinsing. • Like other rice cookers, the cooked rice that is in contact with the bottom of the rice pot will have a light brown, crust-like appearance. This is normal. This brown crust may be minimized with white rice if you soak the rice prior to cooking. • Rice can be flavored by using a combination of water and broth or broth alone. If broth is substituted for water, use the same amount of broth as you would water. • Brown rice requires more water and takes longer to cook than white rice. For your convenience the rice pot has water markings for both white and brown rice. Be sure to use the correct markings for the type of rice being cooked. • Different rices cook up moister and softer than others. In addition, firmness of the rice is a matter of personal preference. Water amounts may be adjusted to achieve desired texture. Try adding (for softer rice) or reducing (for firmer rice) water in 2 tablespoon increments for each scoop of rice cooked until the rice is to the desired moisture level. Never exceed the “MAX” fill level. • To prevent loss of steam and heat, do not open the rice cooker during cooking. The exception is when it is necessary to add food for steaming. • For flavorful rice pilafs or casseroles, saute your favorite chopped veggies with desired spices in a small amount of vegetable oil in a skillet until veggies are translucent and tender. Follow steps 3 and 4 of the “To Cook Rice” instructions (see pages 2-3), add the sauteed vegg...
