How To Use The Steam Function - Yum Asia Bamboo YUM IH152 Manual

For one cup of rice - there isn't a mark on the inner bowl for just one cup of rice, so when cooking one
cup of rice, use the measuring cup filled to the top with water so you get the correct amount of water
and add this on top of the rice in the inner bowl.
Try and choose bags of rice with as few broken grains as possible, as broken grains make rice very
soggy and sticky.
It is important to remember that every batch of rice is different - even the rice you regularly buy can
sometimes change for the worse quality - each batch of rice absorbs water differently depending on
how well it's been processed. The end result can also depend on the age of the rice you use. Newer rice
needs less water than older rice but, of course, there is no way of knowing whether the rice you have
bought is an older or newer picked grain.
If the rice you cook is too sticky, it's worthwhile trying a batch without rinsing, as some varieties of rice
don't need rinsing as they have been processed differently. Unlike pasta, rice just isn't consistent and
the first batch cooked from a new purchase of rice can be hit and miss – the rice cooker does mitigate
this to an extent, but adjusting the amount of water is a sure way of getting the rice you like.

HOW TO USE THE STEAM FUNCTION

You can use this appliance as a stand alone steamer or you can cook rice at the same time as steaming
food. If steaming whilst cooking rice, you would use the corresponding rice function for the type of rice
you are cooking and add the steaming basket to the inner bowl. The steaming basket sits in the top of
the ceramic coated inner bowl, on the specially made ridge.
Here is a guide for cooking different types of food on the 'STEAM' function:
INGREDIENTS
Carrot
Broccoli
Spinach
Pumpkin
Potato
Sweet Potato
Corn
Chicken
Fish (white fish &
salmon)
Prawn/Scallops
Refrigerated Meat
Dumpling
Frozen Meat
Dumpling
IMPORTANT - Do not steam food over 3.5cm thick. If you would like to combine cooking rice with
steaming, it is recommended that 3 cups of rice is the maximum capacity you can cook. Any more than
this, there is a danger as the rice cooks, the steaming basket will push into the lid and pop it open.
