I use this item at least 1-2x a week ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxQJTPaJo-WI_mBKJOtoUVgCf0fPy2Wh90 Everything except the base is dishwasher safe, which makes for easy clean-up. If it finishes cooking the rice before you're ready to serve it, I recommend tossing in a small amount of water (especially if you're cooking the least amount possible) to prevent the rice at the bottom from drying out. The vegetable steamer feels a bit like a hit or miss with cooking times, and sometimes the color from the vegetables leaks down onto the rice. So, I prefer to steam my vegetables separately. Overall, great item for the cost. I've been using mine for over 8 months and am VERY happy with it!
*Great for a family of 2 or 3. It cooks quinoa, white, jasmine **MyBest.Kitchen** and brown rice really well. Easy to clean and store because of the size. We haven't used the steamer part of it yet.*
Thank you for publishing this instruction. I've bought exactly the same rice cooker from Amazon and wanted to see how to do it... Great! Thank you again. I also cook 4 one person. Did not know how much rice to put. Thanks!
I love the rice steamer as I can walk away and not burn it - lol - I use 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water and add in salt then cook for 10mins to 12 mins - perfect every time and not burnt
Thank you :-) I was wondering what to do with the middle lid... couldn't quite figure it out so thank you for solving this dilemma love the internet love people like you
rice, bulgur, buckwheat, pasta- 120 g cold water- 250 g power- 600 w time- 7 min leave in the switched-off microwave for at least 10 minutes you can add a spoonful of olive oil to the pasta so that it does not stick together
I put 1TBS vegetable oil in the water and a pinch of salt to give the rice flavour and avoid sticking. The instructions say not to put oil but I have added oil and it cooks the rice perfectly! I measure 1 cup rice to 2 cups water. Then I put 1 TBS vegetable oil and salt to taste. I cook the rice in the Sistema for 16 minutes on medium high on an 800 Watt Microwave.
Your not supposed to actually line up the holes in the two lids. If you put thme at 90 degrees to each other it wouldnt dry out, the water would turn to steam and condense back into the cooker
im getting mine tomorrow, look forward to using it. I will be using brown rice mainly cause its more healthy. I suppose i will have to cook it for longer due to the husk still be on on the rice.
fascinating that many people still think brown rice is healthier than white rice. they are like the same product for 95% lol. Yes brown rice does have the bran & germ, but that's mostly useless stuff for humans (obviously, else the rice plant couldnt reproduce itself when you shit out the seed=grain). So you can actually say that white rice contains more nutrition. Now you can also drop the brown vs. white bread, all the same story. Saturated fat is just perfectly fine for you. And salt won't kill you AT ALL, in fact not having enough salt will kill you. Just don't consume too much processed food and especially sugary drinks (including orange juice, "so healthy"), the rest you are free to enjoy all the foods!
All the holes are curved, so I don't really get the whole 90º thing. But I think the trick is to make sure they're exactly staggered (inside lid holes centered in between the triangle shapes containing the holes on the outside lid - rather than them having any overlap of holes on the two lids.) But mostly, I thoroughly enjoyed the cat, the English accent, and this guy's laissez-faire method for measuring and cooking rice. ;D
There are some smaller holes in the inner lid, right next to the center. These are the ones that you use to line the top lid holes to 90 degrees. It also causes the two layers of holes to be staggered.
Never use a metal implement for stirring, such as fork. That's what the plastic ladle is for. The smooth surface of the bowl is paramount and must not be punctured scoured or scratched. Nasty leaching of chemicals is possible if that happens.
I already have one, Single so it was part of a Sistema Christmas present. In a conventional sauce pan I always use about 3/4 of a Mug of Rice and 1 1/2 of water. Cook until water has gone then rinse. I presume I do the same but do not have to cook it for so long?
+Marci Lockliear I've used it for popcorn , vegetables , reheating food , pasta , and also a good tub for general storing as it's a good size with lid... Have made lots of rice too 😀
Bad review for this product. I came on you tube to find a better measurement method for the sistema microwave streamer, as Ive just moved country and don't have any of my kitchen utensils. so Ive gone for the way i would cook in a electric rice streamer ..... to every one cup of rice two cups of water. I put it on full heat for 12 minutes, but it needed more time, so Ive put for another 12 minutes....might need more time lets see. its been a long time since Ive used a microwave rice cooker.
The cooking should be the same time regardless of cooking method as the rice can only soak in the liquid so fast. Yes 1 part rice, 2 parts liquid and should take about 15 minutes for basmati rice without a lid, it’s not required in the microwave.
I have had three attempts now with uncle ben's long grain rice and first attempt was 12 mins, 2nd attempt 20 mins and 3rd attempt 30 mins. The rice is semi raw, it never goes fluffy. I have done one attempt with a cup and half of water per cup of rice and on the last 2 attempts used 2 cups of water per cup of water. Makes no difference. My microwave is 900w. Have you any tips please. Anybody?
It should always be 1 part rice, 2 parts liquid regardless of microwave power no lid required. It will seem raw if you either under cook or cook it without enough liquid. My microwave is 1200watt and it takes 15 minutes, since you are using the evaporation method of cooking rice, it should take the same amount of time as it’s minimal liquid. Btw, it could also be the quantity you are cooking, I find it doesn’t cook well with only half a cup of rice due to the size of the bowl and lack of liquid however, 1 cup or more always works perfectly for me, SO much easier than cooking in the traditional way and unlike when I used a rice cooker, cooking rice in the microwave means I don’t have a load of rice burnt onto the base of the pot and the difficulty cleaning said pot.
How can you show u cooking without blowing your nose first... video and explanation are good but what the hell... it's disgusting hearing sniffing all the time.. sorry I had to say that...

He has another video explaining how to use the same cooker. I kinda love this man
Japanese prisoners of war got bigger portions than that 😵
😂
I have two of the Dexam, great kit, cooks frozen Veg with a couple of tablespoons of water, excellent results every time.
Very simple instructions . Exactly what i needed :)
For every half muck of rice .. 1 total muck of water is best.
LOL! I came here for measurements and good instructions. That didn't work out 😂 But cute cat!
I just received mine in the mail today so I will be trying this out thank you for the video
This is probably my favourite review of anything haha. Loved the cat too.

Thanks for that, no instructions on mine so that helped a lot!
rice, bulgur, buckwheat, pasta- 120 g
cold water- 250 g
power- 600 w
time- 7 min
leave in the switched-off microwave for at least 10 minutes

It’s because oil damages microwave bowls. As it is a plastic microwave bowl, food should never stick anyway.

+annie redmore thanks for the tip
annie redmor
45 degrees*
the instructions say 90 degrees to each other
@@dellsupport14 *90 degrees per instructions.
Thank u very much..got mine yesterday cant wait to use it
Once you get the timing right for your microwave it's so handy, use mine few times every week for rice .
im getting mine tomorrow, look forward to using it. I will be using brown rice mainly cause its more healthy. I suppose i will have to cook it for longer due to the husk still be on on the rice.
I would say so , haven't tried brown yet but I think they booklet that came with it had the recommended times

Thanks I've since made a couple more videos reviewing this product with possibly even more laissez-faire methods 🙄😏
I bought one! On Amazon. Tried it... your method works just fine! ^_~ Haha!
@@lonnihurst7945 ha cool , yep they are handy to have for rice. I use all the time 😋

Cheers for the video, my rice is cooking now
+Lewi Hardy I've used mine loads now , great rice all the time
What is the materials for the inside rice pot and steamer?

that looks good. have you cooked brown rice in it?
+Eman uel I haven't yet but I hear you need to cook for a bit longer . I've done pulses and pasta also
Let the steam evaporate a bit?
Cheers mate. Good stuff . I'm going to buy one of these
I have just watched your video and very well done and your attention to your feline friend is excellent I have the same problem with my four
is it possible o cook another foods like pastas, small potatoes, qinoa,korn, thanks
Georgia PINETON LONGWORTH DE CHAMBRUN LAFAYETTE yes it is
pasta would probably not work
any many vegetables like broccoli and shit.
Yes you can add the oil directly into the water in the rice cooker? Or risk that is based?
+Albert “JANACEK” Einstein I added oil to this tried to make popcorn and it slightly damaged the plastic too hot I guess with oil rather than water
That’s a long time for a small quantity of rice. In a saucepan it takes then mins plus standing time. Another item to take up room in the cupboard.
Made another video where I put more rice in it 😀
More rice cooked ua-cam.com/video/7fPKkCUxTmE/v-deo.html
Can you make other things in it
+Marci Lockliear I've used it for popcorn , vegetables , reheating food , pasta , and also a good tub for general storing as it's a good size with lid... Have made lots of rice too 😀
Cute cat 🐱. Thanks for sharing! 🙏
thank you, great demo.
+goatrev stay tuned planning on doing another video with a bit more rice in next time :)
lol
what is 'Royce?"

Does this cook pasta too???
+Gareth Owen yes same idea , boiling water and microwave
How many liters is your microwave? mine is 20 you think it will fit in and it a 800 watt.
+ilovehandbags06 product dimensions 21.6 x 16.4 x 21.6 cm capacity 2.6 litres
You're spiritually broken. This is a mistake.
LOL
thanks so much m8
your cat!!!
Taylor Megan Cat looked at him like "You're not my boss!"
Those coughs and snorts though 🤢
I think a bit more care with the Rice and amount of water it would have been perfect but saying that it works lol 😆
Very true ☺️, years after I made this little video my technique is now much better . Still use almost every day but lots more rice and water haha
Buy in TK Maxx
Awwww love ya cat❤

Try using hot water from the kettle
Definitely not US portion.... You cant feed a person with this small pot! 😑😑😑
Your constant sniffling is a big turn off.
That is dry rice and is not a good presentation
لم يعجبني..........سى جدا طريقه الشرح والعمل
Nice one pal
that is so dry!!!
I have uploaded some more videos using this with more rice & water with better results
ua-cam.com/video/7fPKkCUxTmE/v-deo.html
doesn't look very good to be honest
that's dry rice
So true , I've made better than this :)
yeah and a rice cooker only cost $19.99
Didn't help me :(
Made a few other videos reviewing this , may help
please don't give up your day job....
😂😂😂 that was hilarious
Not enough water or rice don't give up your day job.
Since done a couple more videos with more water / rice
How can you show u cooking without blowing your nose first... video and explanation are good but what the hell... it's disgusting hearing sniffing all the time.. sorry I had to say that...
+Federica Caruso I noticed that too :( after I uploaded I had allergies that day sorry if it was distracting ... Thanks for watching :)

That's looks so dry
Made a few other videos of this that are more moist
