Steaming
1 Measure 3 cups of water with the measuring cup and pour it into the inner pot.
The amount of water varies according to the quantity of food being steamed.
It will take approx. 8 minutes for 3 cups of water to come to the boil.
2 Put the food to be steamed on a plate or in the steam tray.
To ensure even steaming, the food should be spread out evenly and should not be piled up.
3 Put the steam tray in the inner pot (fig. 10).
When you combine steaming and rice cooking, make sure you measure out an amount of rice that
leaves enough room for the steam tray.The steamed food will be ready when the rice cooking
process is finished.
