guide to steam times
The amount of water poured into the inner bowl determines the steaming time. As
an approximate guide, 150 ml (1 cup) of water provides 15 minutes steaming,
300 ml (2 cups) provides 30 minutes steaming etc.

hints
●
Cooking times are approximate and
are affected by size and temperature
of food and the degree of cooking
desired. Water amounts may be
adjusted.
●
If the steaming stops before the food
is sufficiently cooked, add cold water
to the inner bowl, replace food and
cover. Restart the cooking until the
food is adequately cooked.
●
Accumulated steam allows foods to
continue cooking even after the
appliance has switched off. Remove
food promptly to avoid over-cooking.
●
Small items cook faster than larger
ones. Food of uniform size will cook
more evenly.
●
Altitude affects the temperature at
which water boils and thus the
cooking time. At high altitude longer
cooking times are needed.

important
●
Do not keep rice warm for longer
than 1 hour. Small quantities are
best eaten straight away.
●
Do not reheat cooked rice in the rice
cooker.
●
Do not lift the lid during the keep
warm period.
●
We do not recommend the use of
the rice cooker for cooking packet
type savoury rice.
●
Always use heat resistant gloves to
remove the inner bowl, steamer
basket and lid from the appliance.
●
If ingredients are to be added to
cooked rice, they must be
thoroughly cooked as appropriate,
and the rice should be consumed
immediately.
●
Cooking always takes place in the
inner bowl. Never place food directly
in the body of the rice cooker.
