How do I cook rice in my steamer where do I put the water?

I've never actually used the steamer in my rice cooker. I take 3/4 cups rice, two cups water, and put it all in the cooker. Start it. easy.

Are you maybe putting too much water in. usual amount is equal parts water to rice. Except for brown where you need an extra half cup water to each cup of brown rice. Remove the steamer tray, of course when cooking rice.

I need one as well. I know the basics of slow cookers, my question isn't there. I do know to start the slow cooker part early, it has a knob for off-low-high-warm so I just follow basic slow cooker recipes & instructions. I do know to push the lever down on the rice cooker side to start cooking. Since I misplaced the instructions basically I need to know how much rice/water to put in & about how long it takes to cook it, but I'd like the manual anyway. master gourmet rice & slow cooker model #02241

Hi,

Here is a tip that will help you figure out about using a rice cooker...

How much Rice and Water go in the Cooker

Hahahaha!
Ask Asians to guide you to cook rice!
Every time you put rice and add water, level the rice under the water, measure the water by using ur FiNGER!
Use ur mid finger, make sure the first line in ur mid finger is the LEVEL of water.
Dip ur mid finger untill it touches the TOP of the RiCE, the water level must be in the first line of ur MiD FiNGER!
Then ur ready to cook the yummy rice!
Enjoy!

Usually you want to put one dose of rice for 2 1/2 dose of rice. Brown or whole grain rice will need a little more water and will need to cook for a little more time. Hope that helps!

most cookers have a basic lever down to cook/ up when rice is done or warming

2 cups med rice 3 cups water yeilds about 6 cups cooked, allow rice to sit 4 -5 min after cooking to allow to finish steaming

hi!

you put the rice inside and just add water the same place where the rice is.

just remember that the ratio for rice is 1:1.

1 cup water = 1 cup rice. make sure you use the same cup.

for brown rice 1:2. 1 rice: 2 water

hope this helps

cheers!

Ironically, I came to this site with the same questin you posted. I just found my manual. This is how tha manual tells you to steam rice:

Place one of the steamer baskets on the steamer base.

Place 1 cup of rice and 10 ozs of water in the rice bowl.

Place the rice bowl on the steamer basket and cover the steamer.

Set timer for approximately 32 minutes, depending on your taste.

Good luck!

I have a Sunbean Instant Streamer model 4710... I just wash the rice, add it to the bowl and add 1 cup of rice to 2 cups water. I fill the the bottom of the streamer to the max line and turn the steamer to 50 minutes.. The rice comes out great in my streamer this way
