COOKING TIPS for your Breville Rice Box ™
PAge header..... COOKING TIPS Rice cooking tips Rice variations • Add a little extra water for fluffier rice and a little less water for firmer rice. • Washed rice will have some extra water adhering after rinsing. This extra water will extend the cooking time slightly. Reduce the measured amount of water to compensate, if required. Savoury Rice Prepare rice in the rice cooker as specified, substituting all the water with the same quantity of chicken, beef, fish, or vegetable stock.
STEAMING in your Breville Rice Box ™
PAge header..... Steaming Steamed foods retain most of their nutritional value when cooked in the rice cooker. Foods may be steamed by placing food in the steaming tray over stock or water and closing the lid. Keep the lid closed while steaming food unless the recipe or chart specifically states to open the lid. By opening the lid unnecessarily steam is lost and the cooking time will be extended. 1. Measure 3 Rice Box™ cups or more of water or stock into the removable cooking bowl.
Steaming Steaming vegetables • • • • Smaller pieces will steam faster than larger pieces. Try to keep vegetables to a uniform size to ensure even cooking. Fresh or frozen vegetables may be steamed. If steaming frozen vegetables, do not thaw before cooking. Vegetables • • The size and shape of vegetables, as well as personal taste, may call for adjustments to the cooking time. If softer vegetables are required, allow extra cooking time. Do not allow water or stock to reach the steaming tray.
Steaming Steaming fish and seafood • Season fish with fresh herbs, onions, lemon etc. before cooking. • Ensure fish fillets are in a single layer and do not overlap. • Fish is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in colour. Type Suggestions and tips Cooking time (minutes) Fish – fillets – whole – cutlets Steam until opaque and easy to flake.
Steaming Steaming dumplings • Fresh or frozen dumplings and savoury buns can be steamed. • Place small pieces of baking paper, cabbage or lettuce leaves, under the dumplings to avoid sticking to the steaming tray.
