INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

STEAMING FOOD

GENERAL INFORMATION

Keep the Cover on while cooking or steaming food, unless the
recipe or chart specially calls for removing it. By removing the
Cover unnecessarily, you lose steam and valuable time. If you
must remove it to stir or to add an ingredient, have the Rice
Paddle or ingredient ready, add it, stir quickly and just as
quickly replace the Cover.

STEAMING INSTRUCTIONS

Measure appropriate amount of water or broth into the Inner
Pot. Place food to be steamed directly into the Steamer Insert
and place it in the Inner Pot. Some recipes, especially those for
cooking fish or other fragile items, call for lining the Steamer
Insert with lettuce or spinach leaves. This method of cooking
also helps keep food from sticking to the Steamer Insert. 
Place the Inner Pot with the Steamer Insert into the Main
Housing, place the Cover over the Steamer Insert, and then plug
into electrical wall outlet.
Push Lever down to begin COOK Mode.
Since the times in the following vegetable steaming charts are
approximate, use them as a guide only. The size and shape of
vegetables as well as personal taste may call for adjustments. If
you want softer vegetables, add more water and steam for
additional time. Do not allow the liquid in the Inner Pot to 
boil dry.

Wild rice is very expensive and strong-flavored. This recipe uses
a packaged mix that combines wild and white rice with herbs
and spices.
The affordable combination of rices and the addition of dried
fruits make this recipe a perfect low-priced accompaniment for
your favorite pork or poultry dishes.
