Using a Microwave Multi- Steamer

Rice
1. Put rice in basket and position in multi-steamer base
2. Add boiling water, cover with lid and cook on full power

4. Allow 2 mins standing time, rinse with boiling water and serve

250g (8oz) = 900ml (1½ pints) boiling water

Long Grain:  Cooking time 12 minutes - stir after 6 mins
125g (4oz) = 700ml (1¼ pints) boiling water
250g (8oz) = 1000ml (1¾ pints) boiling water

Brown Rice: Cooking Time 16 minutes - stir after 8 & 12 minutes
125g (4oz) = 700ml (1¼ pints) boiling water

(Times for 650 watt microwave - please adjust times to suit)

Noodles:
Place dry noodles in the multi-steamer basket, cover with boiling water and cook on full power for 2 minutes. Stand for further 2 mins then drain.

Green Vegetables:
Put a small amount of water (4-5 tablespoons) below the steamer basket. Place vegetables in basket, cover with lid and cook on full power. Most green vegetables will cook in 3 - 5 minutes, the correct timings will come with practice.

Other Vegetables: (potatoes, carrots, parsnips, swedes, turnips etc)
Cut into similar size pieces and place in steamer basket. Add water until the base of the basket is just covered and cook on full power turning half way through cooking time. Hard vegetables will take significantly longer time to cook so check your microwave instructions for times.
