Steam vegetables, dumplings or other foods in a Sanyo Rice Cooker by first adding the desired amount of water to the inner pot. Measure at least one cup (180 ml) of water into the pot. Insert the steaming tray into the pot. Distribute food items evenly across the tray. Secure the lid, plug in the power cord and turn on the "Cook" function. Monitor the rice cooker manually as the food steams, checking the pot occasionally by lifting the lid and stirring. Watch for the "Cook" light to switch to "Keep Warm," which indicates that all of the water has evaporated. Turn off the "Cook" switch and unplug the machine when the food has been thoroughly steamed.
