Supermum: what you do is you put rice (3 cups) and (3 1/2 cups) water in the metal scale which you put in the varoma. Maybe you have to experiment the the kind of rice you use. I only use basmati or pandan rice. The rice absorpts the water and you finally get dry steamed rice. Don't put too much water in the scale. Otherwise your rice will not be dry when finished. The rice starts cooking because of the heat of the steam. The metal scale also becomes hot of the steam and that also contributes tot the cooking. And of course you put water in the mixing bowl down under the varoma in order to create steam. I hope it is now clear to you? I am sorry if i had not explained well enough

I have my own metal basket (scale) which I normally use in my ricecooker. I now have placed this basket in the varoma. It looks al little bit like the scale you can see in the link below

I think that basmati rice takes in general longer than normal rice. Maybe if you take just more 'general' rice it will take less time. The cooking of rice in the varoma is i think useful when to cook a larger quantity of rice in one time.

Hi Supermum,

I hope I can help you. I did boil the water before I put it in the bowl. So that shortens the steaming time. After a few minutes, the varoma was steaming. I used basmati rice, and the total steaming time was about 38 minutes. The rice becomes ready through absorption. If you put equally (almost equal..) water and rice (e.g. 3 1/2 teacups of water and 3 teacups of rice), then there is no water left when the rice is ready.  How big was your bowl? Was there enough place left for the steaming coming through?

The variety of rice can differ such as brow rice takes longer. Maybe it went wrong with the amount of water, that was way too much. Please try again with above suggestions and let me know. Take care

Hi,

How can I remove the 'envelop' which shows my mailadress when I post a message? It is on the left side, below my name. I have searched the forum and I can not find it. I have put a mark on the option not to show my mailadres to the public, but doesnot help.

Hi,

I also think that I keep my ricecooker in case we need more rice when people come eating. Thanks for your reactions

Hi,

I know I can do the steaming in the steaming basket, but then the maximum of rice is 400 gram. We usually eat more than 400 gram, that's why i was looking for a way to steam more rice in one time.

What i mean with the knive, is the mixing knife which is turning around in the water in the basket while steaming the rice..  I do'n't understand why he is turning around (do not know this is the right word..) since the water only needs to be heated for steaming?
