Using the Steam Basket - Rice and Grain Cooker
Possible Solution
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the Lid is properly closed while using the Steam Basket.
- Place the Steam Basket in the Ceramic Pot. The Steam Basket will rest and hang on top of the Ceramic Pot.
- Select Steam a cycle on the main menu and set the desired time. The KitchenAid Grain and Rice Cooker automatically dispenses water into the Ceramic Pot to steam below the Steam Basket.
