Rice Cooker & Food Steamer FAQs
What is the rice to water ratio for a rice cooker?
For white rice, one cup of rice to one cup of water is the standard starting point, though most rice cooker bowls have markings that do the maths for you. Brown rice likes a little extra water, closer to one part rice to one and a half parts water. Rinse your rice first and you'll be rewarded with fluffier results.
What else can you cook in a rice cooker?
Far more than rice! A rice cooker is quietly one of the most versatile appliances in the kitchen, happily handling quinoa, porridge, soups and steamed vegetables, and adventurous cooks even use theirs to make frittatas and cakes. If it cooks with liquid and gentle heat, chances are your rice cooker can take it on.
Is steaming vegetables healthier than boiling?
Generally, yes. When you boil vegetables, some of the water-soluble vitamins leach into the cooking water you pour away, while steaming keeps the vegies out of the water so more of those nutrients (and more of the colour and crunch) stay put. It's a big part of why food steamers have earned their spot on the bench.
Do rice cookers switch off automatically?
They do. Rice cookers sense when the water has been absorbed and switch themselves from cooking to keep-warm mode, which means no bubbling over, no burnt pot and no watching the stove. It's the closest thing to set-and-forget cooking there is, and dinner stays warm until you're ready.
How to use a rice cooker?
To use a rice cooker, start by rinsing the rice until the water runs mostly clear. Then add it to the pot along with water (most cookers mark the ratio right on the inner bowl, but a rough guide is 1 cup of water per cup of rice). Pop the lid on, select your setting and press start or cook. The cooker will automatically switch to "keep warm" once the rice is done, so there's no need to hover over it or set a timer. Leave it to sit for a few minutes before fluffing with a fork and it's ready to serve.
