How to Use the Steam Rack in a SYLVANIA Rice Cooker

The Sylvania rice cooker steams rice until it is soft and fluffy. Adding rice and liquid to the machine in the specified measurements will ensure that your rice cooker produces tender rice from each batch. The steam rack included with the rice cooker lets you steam vegetables and other foods, making your rice cooker a universal tool for preparing light and healthy meals. After the cooking time completes, the rice cooker switches the heat to a warm setting, keeping your food warm until you are ready to serve it. Does this Spark an idea?
