U BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Wash the bowl, lid, and basket in warm soapy water, rinse and dry
d HOW IT WORKS
Basically, you put food and water into the bowl and leave it to boil dry. The cooker detects the
boil-dry condition and switches to "keep warm" mode.
T COOKING TIMES
• There are two methods of regulating cooking times:
1) Use exactly the right amount of water, and leave the cooker to switch to warm
automatically – this is the method used to cook rice.
2) Use plenty of water, watch the cooking process, and move the switch up manually when
the food is cooked. This is the easiest way to steam "unknowns", unknown quantities,
unknown vegetables, unknown sizes.
3 When you use method 2, keep notes. Next time, you can use just the right amount of water,
and leave the cooker to do the job on its own (method 1).
C OVERCOOKING
4 Don't worry too much about overcooking – steaming is a relatively gentle cooking method
and a few minutes extra generally won't matter.
5 Don't overcook fish – it'll chew like rubber and taste like cardboard.
C PREPARATION
6 Sit the appliance on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, near a power socket.
7 Don't use the appliance near or below curtains, shelves, cupboards, or anything else likely to
be damaged by the escaping steam.
8 Route the cable so it doesn't overhang, and can't be tripped over or caught.
9 Have oven gloves (or a cloth) to hand, and a heat-resistant mat or dinner plate to put the
bowl on after cooking.
10 Put the bowl inside the cooker.
C WASHING RICE
11 Some people say you shouldn't wash rice, as it washes away nutrients.
12 Some people say you should wash rice, as this removes excess starch, rice powder, and any
loose bran.
13 If you're making rice balls or sushi, where you want the rice to stick together, then it makes
sense not to wash it.
14 If you want loose rice with easily separated grains, then washing may help.
