Tips for steaming food  
Do not steam food larger than 1½ inch thick. It may hit the inner lid and may not cook well.  
Cut off thick stems from cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage.  
Do not thaw frozen vegetables before you steam them.  
Never steam frozen meat, poultry or seafood. Always let frozen meat, poultry or seafood thaw  
completely before you put it in the steamer.  
Wash meat properly and pat it dry, so that as little juice as possible drips out.  
Tender pieces of meat with a little fat are most suitable for steaming.  
Wrap fish and meat in aluminum foil to prevent them from sticking to steaming basket. Wrapping  
also provides moister cooking.  
Puncture eggs before steaming to prevent shells cracking.  
Always keep the lid closed during the entire steaming process. Opening the lid causes a loss of  
heat and steam, resulting in a slower cooking time.  
Make sure the food is well done before you eat it. If the food is not done, set a longer steaming  
time. You may need to put some more water in the inner pot.

*[Small portion Plain] requires less cooking time than other submenus and is advised to cook not  
more than 6 cups of plain rice for optimal result.  
Preparation  
1 Measure the rice with the measuring cup provided (Fig. 27)  
Each cup of uncooked rice normally gives 2 servings of cooked rice. Do not exceed the  
quantities indicated on the inside of the inner pot.  
The provided measuring cup is approx. 180mL.

4 Add water to the level indicated on the scale inside the inner pot that corresponds to the number  
of cups and type of rice used. Then smooth the surface of the rice.  
Note: If you cook 4 cups of Plain rice, add water up to the 4-cup level for rice indicated on the

the rice and water at this stage.  
The level marked inside the inner pot is just an indication; you can always adjust the water  
level for different types of rice and your own preference. However, if you add too much  
water (much higher than the appropriate level for the amount of rice used), bubbling water  
may come out of the steam vent cap.  
Pay attention to water levels indicator on the inner pot. Sushi rice requires slightly more  
water as other rice type. Make sure you use the right water level for Sushi rice.

than normal.

Use only Italian short-grain rice (e.g. Arborio, Carnaroli, Vialone) for better tasting risotto.  
NEVER wash the rice. Every bit of the rice starch helps make risotto creamy.  
It is important to add hot stock, not cold, to the rice during the cooking process for better  
cooking result.  
The quantity of liquid suggested in the recipes is always approximate. In actual cooking, you  
should be prepared to use more, or sometimes less, as the risotto itself requires. Use hot  
water if the stock has been used up before the rice is fully cooked.  
Perfectly cooked risotto should not be hard and stick to the serving spoon, nor should it be

Perfect Paella Hints andTips  
Prepare all ingredients in advance of cooking. Put them close to the Variety Cooker before  
you begin.  
Use Arborio rice as a substitute.  
It is important to add hot stock, not cold, to the rice during the cooking process for better  
cooking result.  
The quantity of liquid suggested in the recipes is always approximate. In actual cooking, you  
should be prepared to use more, or sometimes less, as the risotto itself requires. Use hot  
water if the stock has been used up before the rice is fully cooked.  
Use saffron for a nice yellow color as well as a subtle background flavor to the rice.  
Perfectly cooked Paella should be al dente, with a tiny white dot in the centre. The rice  
should be dry and separate when done, not creamy like risotto.

To soften the butter quickly: cut butter into 1-inch chucks between 2 large pieces of wax  
paper and smash through with a rolling pin. When the butter is about ⅛ to ¼ inch thick, lift  
out wax paper and peel away the butter (before it gets too soft to peel).  
Do not replace butter with margarine, shortening or part-butter products, or the cake will  
not raise properly.

Do not replace cocoa power with drinking chocolate powder, or the cake will not raise  
properly and will give sweeter taste and less natural cocoa aroma.  
Garnish the chocolate cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side and top both with  
warm chocolate fudge or caramel sauce and use whipped cream to decorate. Sprinkle with  
your favorite toasted nuts and topped with berries.

Tips for steaming food  
Do not steam food larger than 1½ inch thick. It may hit the inner lid and may not cook well.  
Cut off thick stems from cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage.  
Do not thaw frozen vegetables before you steam them.  
Never steam frozen meat, poultry or seafood. Always let frozen meat, poultry or seafood thaw  
completely before you put it in the steamer.  
Wash meat properly and pat it dry, so that as little juice as possible drips out.  
Tender pieces of meat with a little fat are most suitable for steaming.  
Wrap fish and meat in aluminum foil to prevent them from sticking to steaming basket. Wrapping  
also provides moister cooking.  
Puncture eggs before steaming to prevent shells cracking.  
Always keep the lid closed during the entire steaming process. Opening the lid causes a loss of  
heat and steam, resulting in a slower cooking time.  
Make sure the food is well done before you eat it. If the food is not done, set a longer steaming  
time. You may need to put some more water in the inner pot.
