VEGETABLE STEAMING GUIDE

He lpful Hints:1. Sinc e most vegetab les only

absorb a sma ll amount of

wa ter, there is no need to

inc rea se the a mount of

wa ter for la rger servings.

2. Alwa ys keep the lid c losed

during the entire steaming

proc ess. Op ening the lid

c auses a loss of hea t and

steam, resulting in a slower

nec essary to open the lid ,

you may want to add asma ll amo unt of wa ter to

help restore the cooking time.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM SOLUTION

Rice is too dry/hard

after cooking.

If your rice is dry or hard/chewy when the

rice cooker switches to WARM mode,

additional water and cooking time will soften

the rice. Depending on how dry your rice is,

add to 1 cup of water and stir through.Close the lid and press the COOK button.

When rice cooker switches to warm mode,

open the lid and stir the rice to check the

consistency. Repeat as necessary until rice is

soft and moist.

Rice is too moist/soggy

after cooking.

If your rice is still too wet or soggy when the

rice cooker switches to warm mode, use the

rice paddle to stir the rice. This will

redistribute the bottom (moistest) part of the

rice as well as release excess moisture. Close

the lid and allow to remain on warm mode for

10-30 minutes as needed, opening the lid and

stirring periodically to release excess

moisture.
