Steaming food
1 Make sure that the outside of the cooking pot is dry and free of debris, then
place it into your cooker.
2 Add water up to the number 2 scale mark inside the pot.
3 Place the steam tray in the pot, then place the food you want to steam in the
steam tray.
4 Plug in the power cord.
5 Press the lid down until it clicks into place.
6 Press the Steam button. The display shows a flashing “5” to indicate five
minutes of cooking time.
7 If you want to change the cooking time, press the + or – button to increase or
decrease cooking time in one minute increments. You can increase cooking
time up to 30 minutes.
8 After a six second delay, the rice cooker begins to heat and the cooking time
appears on the display.
When the water begins to boil, the countdown timer appears on the display.
After cooking is complete, your cooker enters the temperature preservation
(keep warm) mode.
9 Press the lid release to open your cooker.
10 Check steamed food to make sure that it’s done. If finished steaming, carefully
remove food to prevent overcooking. Wear a protective, fire-resistant glove
when removing food to prevent possible injury.
11 Unplug your cooker when it is not in use.
Vegetable steaming guide (fresh vegetables)
The cooking pot has scale marks inside to help you measure the amount of water
you need to add.
Tips:
• Keep the lid closed during the entire steaming process. Opening the lid causes a loss
of heat and steam, resulting in a slower cooking time. If you need to open the lid, add
a small amount of water to help restore the cooking time.
• Altitude, humidity, and outside temperature affect cooking times.
VEGETABLE WATER/SCALE MARK COOKING TIME
Asparagus Mark 2 7 minutes
Broccoli Mark 2 5 minutes
Cabbage, Carrots, Cauliflower, or
Corn
Mark 2 15 minutes
Eggplant Mark 2 15 minutes
Green Beans Mark 2 15 minutes
Peas, Spinach, Squash, or Zucchini Mark 2 7 minutes
Tips:
• Frozen vegetables take longer to cook than fresh.
• Since most vegetables only absorb a small amount of water, there is no need to
increase the amount of water with a larger serving of vegetables.
