Cooking perfect rice on top of the stove has inherent difficulties. Getting the precise timing to achieve a fluffy texture for stove-top rice can be hard, especially for cooking beginners. An Oster Multi-Use Rice Cooker automatically cooks the rice and shuts off once it detects that the rice has absorbed all of the water and has reached the proper texture. Use only the measuring cup included with your Oster rice steamer because it has a smaller capacity than a standard measuring cup. Each whole rice measuring cup of raw rice steams into 2 full cups of cooked rice.
Instructions
1. Unplug the Oster rice steamer to prevent accidentally turning it on during filling.
2. Open the lid of the rice steamer to access the inner cooking pot.
3. Pull out the inner cooking pot carefully.
4. Scoop 1/2 rice measuring cup per person into the inner cooking pot. For instance, to make 4 cups of cooked rice, add 2 rice measuring cups of raw rice to the cooking pot.
5. Use the rice measuring cup to measure out 2 1/4 cups of water per serving. Pour the water into the cooking pot over the rice.
6. Put the inner cooking pot back into the rice steamer, twisting it until it locks into place over the heating element.
7. Put the lid on top of the inner cooking pot.
8. Plug in the rice steamer.
9. Press the "ON" button until you see the red cooking light turn on.
10. Remove the lid after 15 minutes.
11. Stir the rice with the paddle included with the rice steamer.
12. Replace the lid to complete the cooking process. The steamer automatically detects the amount of water left in the inner cooking pot and ends the cooking process when the rice absorbs all the water.
13. Unplug the appliance when you see the red cook light turn to yellow, indicating that the rice has finished cooking and the steamer's warming feature has been activated.
14. Serve the rice immediately.
