This type pots are Steamer, ie they fry the food, so it should be possible under a range hood, definitely free. The nose should not hold directly over the steam exhaust the cover also - the steam is hot.
The amount of water added regulates the cooking time.
The Tristar rice cooker works so far excellent and exactly as I expect it to. The use pot makes a solid impression, the coating, the handling of the pot is easy manageable.
Tonight I prepare my food order as follows:
Some oil at the bottom of the pot (who is too lean, takes longer)
1 piece of fresh chicken breast to
1/2 onion, some garlic, some ginger,
1 tablespoon frozen boletus
1 medium or 2 small potatoes (washed, cut)
Salt, pepper, curry, 1 splash of wine vinegar
good 1/2 measuring cup (= 100 ml) of water.
Lid on it, turn pot.
If everything is boiling, cook for 5 minutes, then I add
2 handfuls of frozen green beans
2 to 3 pieces cauliflower added.
Now I let the pot steaming, until he switched to warming function.
The food is now cooked and tasty browned bottom after about a quarter of an hour above.
But you can also take potatoes pasta or rice take, instead of meat or fish course Minced - course vegetarian.
For pasta and rice but more water must be added in each case. Rice 2 to 1, noodles have to be fairly covered with water.
And of course you can also "plain rice" cooking with the pot, but the rice is then browned slightly below - what most people but quite like love.
And who says you should only use the pot for cooking rice, should ask themselves whether it really is not no matter the integrated hot plate of the pot and the use of pot, what to cook it?
