Vegetable Steaming Chart and Tips
• The more vegetables added to the steamer basket, the longer the
steam time should be.
• Smaller pieces of vegetables will steam faster than larger pieces.
• Allowing rice to “rest” for approximately 5–10 minutes after
cooking will yield better-textured rice.
• Give vegetables or rice a flavor boost by substituting an equal
amount of chicken/beef/vegetable broth for water.
• Note that the steam times listed here are approximate and for
reference only.
• Cook time may vary from the programmed time based on actual
amounts of ingredients and water. The rice cooker will adjust time
asnecessary.
TYPE OF VEGETABLE SETTING AMOUNT OF WATER COOK TIME
Softer Vegetables
(ex. zucchini, squash) Steam Cook Fill pot to “4” line 4–7 minutes
Firmer Vegetables
(ex. broccoli, corn on the cob, carrots) Steam Cook Fill pot to “4” line 7–15 minutes
