What types of food can I cook in the rice steamer?

Troubleshooting

Rice is mushy or undercooked.

Adjust the water-to-rice ratio. Ensure you are using the correct amount of water for the type of rice. Cooking times may vary based on microwave wattage; try increasing the cooking time in small increments.

Lid is difficult to close.

Ensure the rim of the container and the lid are clean and dry. Check that the steam release vent is not obstructed. The clips may require a firm press to engage fully.

Food is splattering during microwaving.

Ensure the steam release vent is properly opened. Do not overfill the container, leaving adequate space for steam expansion. Reduce microwave power if necessary.

Container retains odors or stains.

Wash promptly after use. For stubborn stains or odors, try soaking in a mixture of baking soda and water, or a mild bleach solution (follow product guidelines for plastic safety). Ensure proper ventilation when storing.
