Vegetable Steaming Tips

• The more vegetables added to the steamer basket, the longer the steam time should be.

• Smaller pieces of vegetables will steam faster than larger pieces.

• Allowing rice to “rest” for approximately 5–10 minutes after cooking will yield better-textured rice.

• Give vegetables or rice a flavor boost by substituting an equal amount of chicken/beef/vegetable broth for water.

• Note that the steam times listed here are approximate and for reference only.

• Cook time may vary from the programmed time based on actual amounts of ingredients and water. The rice cooker will adjust time as necessary.
