If you want to use the Digital Reishunger Rice Cooker as a steamer, you have two options:
1. With rice. In order to steam vegetable, for example, while simultaneously cooking rice, select
STANDARD mode or on of the RICE modes (see 3.3) and place the provided steam insert with the
respective ingredients onto the internal pot. Then press the START button for two seconds.
Important: we recommend adding a maximum of three measuring cups of rice to the rice cooker.
If you add larger quantities, the steam basket may be subjected to high pressure during cooking,
causing the lid of the rice cooker to burst open. Incidentally: you can also add the food at a later
stage. To do so, open the lid of the rice cooker slowly and carefully. Please be very careful when
doing so, and be aware of the hot steam that escapes.
2. Without rice. If you only want to steam food, press the MENU button repeatedly until the
STEAM function appears on the display. Add 1-2 cups water to the internal pot and your chosen
food to the steam insert and close the lid. Select the desired cooking time using the +1HR and
+10MIN buttons and hold down the START button for two seconds to start the steaming process.
Important: Do not steam foods that are thicker than 3.5cm.
You can prepare any quantity of food with the steam cooker. This table provides a guide, in that
we have listed a few cooking times for a selection of foods. However, sometimes the result can
deviate, therefore try it out yourself to see how you like it best.
