A HEALTHIER WAY OF COOKING
Not only does steaming food lock in vital vitamins and minerals which are sometimes lost in other conventional cooking processes, but it removes the need for oils or fat making it a healthier way to cook a number of your favourite foods. The steaming process also ensures taste is maintained, meaning you can achieve full flavour with fewer calories.

OVERCOOKING

ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS
- Nuts won’t generally absorb much water, so you can normally add them after you’ve measured the rice.
- Raisins and dried fruit will absorb as much water as rice, so put them into the measuring cup along with the rice.
- If you add any additional ingredients (raisins, fruit, nuts, etc.), you should reduce the amount of rice to compensate for the amount of water they’ll absorb.

COOKING TIMES
There are two methods of regulating cooking times :
- Use exactly the right amount of water, and leave the cooker to switch to warm automatically – this is the method used to cook rice.
- 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.
PREPARATION
- Sit the appliance on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, near a power socket.
- Don’t use the appliance near or below curtains, shelves, cupboards, or anything else likely to be damaged by the escaping steam.
- Have oven gloves (or a cloth) to hand, and a heat-resistant mat or dinner plate to put the bowl on after cooking.
- Put the bowl inside the cooker.
COOKING
- Move the on/off switch to the O position.
- Fill the bowl with the amount of rice required.
- Add the required amount of water – generally, use 1 cup of water for each cup of rice.
- Don’t fill above the top of the fill mark.
- Give the bowl quarter of a turn each way, to ensure the bottom of the bowl makes good contact with the element.
- Put the lid on the bowl.
- Put the plug into the power socket. Move the on/off switch to the I position. The N light will come on.
- Move the control to P. The N light will go off.
- When the rice is cooked, the control will move to N, the P light will go off, and the N light will come on.
- Let the rice rest for about 10 minutes, then switch off the cooker and unplug it.
- Put on the oven gloves. 5
- Steam and hot air will escape when you lift the lid. Tilt it slightly to direct the steam away from you.
- Lift out the bowl and set it down on a heat-resistant mat or dinner plate.
- Use the spatula to turn and mix the rice, to let all the steam escape.
USING THE COOKER AS A STEAMER
- Add the required amount of water – Use method 1 or 2 above.
- Put the basket on top of the bowl and put the food into the basket.
- For uniform cooking, cut all pieces of food to roughly the same size.
- For peas, or anything that’ll break up or drop into the water, make a parcel with aluminium foil.
- Take care when removing the parcel – wear oven gloves and use plastic tongs/spoons.
- Put the lid on top of the basket.
- Operate the cooker the same way you would when cooking rice.
- Follow the steaming times.
- Don’t leave food in the cooker after steaming – it’ll go soggy.
- Note the type and quantity of food and the amount of water. Next time, adjust the amount of water and let the cooker look after the timing.
