Steaming Vegetables, Poultry, Seafood or Hard Cooked Eggs Place indicated amount of water into the Rice Cooking Bowl. The amount needed will vary according to the type of food being cooked. Arrange foods in a single layer in the steaming tray. Vegetables should be cut in similar sizes as indicated. Cooking times are approximate and will yield cooked but crisp/tender vegetables. Add more time for more tender/softer vegetables or cut back on time for crispier vegetables to taste. Rice Cooker must be unplugged immediately after vegetables have finished cooking to prevent overcooking. If cooking vegetables over rice, use chart to determine approximately when to add steaming tray to Rice Cooker. Serve steamed vegetables immediately or plunge into ice water to stop cooking to use in salads and other cold preparations.
