Rice Microwave Pot.

[bulldog]

We have the above(recently unearthed).It is similar to one in the Lakeland catalogue but in plastic(prob. Betterware or similar).Used in the past but instructions mislaid.Would like to use again to cook portions of rice but no idea to how.
Would be very grateful if anyone has details of instructions.Should say it is a double layer pot with lid.
Help appreciated

I have a very old tupperware one. The instructions are
Simply pop boiling water on your rice and simmer for 5 minutes on the hob. Then tip the whole lot into the Multi Server, pop the lid on and leave for 15-20 minutes - perfect rice every time.

Many thanks but we are sure that it is for microwave direct from start but could be wrong.Will keep hoping!Yet another example of things bought and consigned to the back of the cupboard!

I think the product was made by Microwise ?.
I think these are the instructions you were asking for:-
The Multi-Steamer retains a reservoir of water below the steaming basket to ensure the rice is always moist. When the rice has absorbed the necessary amount of water, steam passes through until the cooking is completed. Most of the starch on the rice drains automatically into the base of the Multi-Steamer but rinsing with boiling water after cooking is always recommended.
The cooking times which follow are for guidance - if you have any doubt refer also to the microwave instructions on the rice packaging.
Always: - at the start of cooking the rice must be covered with water. For small quantities the amount of water recommended for normal cooking must be increased to take account of the water required below the basket.
- do not add too much water initially or you will lose the benefit of steaming.
- always stir halfway through the cooking time and ensure that there is still some water above the base of the basket - add a little if necessary.
- allow 2 minutes standing time after cooking is completed, then rinse with boiling water.
Instructions
(1) Put rice in basket and position in Multi-Steamer base.
(2) Add boiling water, cover with lid and cook on full power.
(3) Stir halfway through cooking time and add a little water if necessary.
(4) Allow 2 minutes standing time, rinse with boiling water and serve.

* Timings below are for 650 watt microwave ovens. Times will vary according to the power of your microwave oven so we recommend experimenting to find the best times.

Easy cook and Basmati
125g or rice 600ml boiling water
250g or rice 900ml boiling water
Cooking time 11 minutes Stir after 5 minutes

Long Grain
125g or rice 700ml boiling water
250g or rice 1000ml boiling water
Cooking time 12 minutes Stir after 6 minutes

Brown
125g or rice 700ml boiling water
250g or rice 1000ml boiling water
Cooking time 16 minutes Stir after 8 & 12 minutes


If cold water is used instead of boiling water, the total cooking time will increase by 5 minutes and stirring should take place both after a third and two thirds of cooking time has elapsed.

Hope this helps
