I do not cook rice. Tell her to look at her booklet which gives the instructions on how to steam rice. Another option call the customer care line 1-800-231-9766.Hope this helps

You fill the bottom portion with water up to the line, the put 1 cup rice to 1-1/3 cup water in the white rice dish above the steamer basket. Put the lid on and set timer to 45 minutes. You will get perfect rice. I love this machine!

Put tap water in the bottom compartment up to the fill line in the window. Insert the base and basket. Into the bowl put equal parts water and rice. Add a little salt. Stir. Put the loud on. Plug it in. Set the timer dial to 30 min for white rice, 45 min for brown rice. When the bell chimes it's done. And it's perfect EVERY time. Use the same timing for quinoa or any other grain or cereal. You can also steam tamales and hard cook eggs in the shell.

I am sorry. I don't like rice. I never cook it. As with everything else I would just follow directions.

I use it to steam rice all the time, brown rice mostly. It comes with a basket (see the photo--that white basket inside of the steamer that is it). 1 cup of rice to 1.5 cups of water inside the basket. For brown rice, it is 50 minutes. I imagine it's a bit less for white rice. I followed the booklet that came with the steamer. Good luck!

Why do people comment if they don't want to offer an answer? First, fill the reservoir with water to the fullest level. The rule of thumb for White Rice regardless of how it's cooked, is 1 Cup uncooked White Rice to 2 Cups cold Water. Always use double the amount of water as you do rice. When it's cooked, you'll end up with approx. 2 Cups of White Rice using this equation. Put rice and water into the included Plastic basket, & set the timer according to directions. If you don't have directions for some reason, I'd look online for a replacement booklet, or use the info on the bag of rice as a guideline., My steamer takes approx 20 mins. for 1 Cup uncooked rice, it's an older version of this unit. Timing can vary for many reasons. I would check the cooking process often, and turn unit off when rice is rice is fluffy with a fork. Rice, as well as veggies will continue to cook even after the timer stops unless you remove the food from the unit. If you're fussy about overcooking, make sure you stay close by. I did have to practice with rice a couple of times before getting it just right. Once you get the timing of your favorite foods down, you'll never want to be without a steamer, and the process becomes second nature. Good luck!

To cook rice, you simply add water to uncook rice. You can look into the inner surface wall of the pot to find out how much water you need. For example, if you want to cook 2 cups of rice, put uncook rice in the pot and add water to the 2 cup level marked on the wall of the pot.

I've done this as I am cooking the rice, use streamer basket over the rice, can also do meat this way for a whole meal. Judge from times listed in book...

This steamer works well for steaming a variety of foods such as vegetables and meats. This particular steamer is not designed for cooking rice.

The water level should be about one inch above the surface of the rice. Put your hand flat on the surface of the rice and the water level should be just a little bit above your hand.

I make brown rice often in this steamer. One cup of rice to 1 1/2 cups water. I do not soak the rice beforehand. I use the other two tiers to steam baby carrots, usually, and set the whole thing for about 50 minutes to an hour. It all turns out perfect.

Yes. Fill the inner pot up to the line corresponding with how many cups of rice are being cooked. Then fill the small plastic measuring cup that came with the cooker up to that corresponding number, and pour the water into the outer pot. Follow these steps and you will have perfect rice every time.

short answer-yes. however unless you need a strainer with very fine holes for straining things like pumpkin pulp or yogurt , you might actually be better served by selecting a wire mesh style strainer the would contain the rice but let water out more quickly.

For brown rice I use more water and it comes out fine - don't think it knows what kind of rice you are cooking

I HIGHLY recommend a rice cooker for rice. I've not used this particular appliance, but own a rice cooker and it is so much easier, better, and more consistent than cooking it on the stove. Set it and forget it!

Put rice, water and butter in white bowl, how ever many servings you are making. Add water to reservoir as well. Set timer!

In addition to scooping rice, the paddle is used to cool the rice after cooking and mix seasoned rice vinegar into the rice in a special wooden tub called a hangiri using a horizontal slicing motion. This technique mixes in the vinegar without turning the rice mushy and keeping it fluffy.

I may be able to find mine and make a copy, but have not used the directions for over a year. The unit comes with a measuring cup... and marking on the side for water...don't use either. Basically, I just follow the rice directions on the side of a package...select white (ok, I don't really eat white rice) or brown, add a tiny bit of oil to prevent boil over, and turn it on (being careful not to put too much in). It does the rest. I happen to like my rice a tiny bit moister, so usually put a small amount more water than suggested (as in under 1/8 cup for a 5 cup batch). It gets really hot, and then begins lowering the amount of heat until it reaches the end of the timed cycle...showing 1 minute remaining....it then continous to heat, until it measure the rise in temp from running out free water and turns off...pretty simple actually Cycles can take much longer than it initially shows, depending on the rice.

This Tiger rice cooker is for making Mochi. If you cook brown rice the water amount will be different. You can steam regular rice but you would add more water. Pounding is for making Mochi.

Soak the rice in enough water to cover it for a couple of hours or overnight. Drain it and then put it in your steamer, fill the bottom of the steamer with water but not touching the rice. Steam it for at least 20 minutes, turning the rice occasionally so that it all cooks evenly. Steam until the rice is translucent but still firm. You can taste a bit to make sure it is soft and chewy. It shouldn't be soggy. And that's it! The amount of water doesn't matter as it is not cooking in the water.

Even tho I usually use rice cookers for rice...I cooked this rice the old fashioned way, on the stove. :) Good luck.
