For best results:

Rinse the rice in a sieve under cold running water until the water runs clear (unless otherwise stated on the packaging). Use cold water when cooking. Position the lid so that the holes in the top lid and pressure chamber plate are offset. Use the easy lift tabs on the lid to safely pick up the product after cooking. Allow cooked rice to stand for a minimum of 5 minutes, then fluff the rice with the rice spoon provided before serving.

For your satisfaction & safety:

Do not cook rice or other grains at any time without water. Do not add any fat or oil to the water or use liquid with fat content such as milk. Do not use sharp utensils. To avoid boil-over do not overfill. For rice with high starch content we recommend cooking smaller quantities. Remove lid with care after cooking to avoid hot steam burning hands or face. Open the lid away from you using the easy lift tabs on the lid. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scrub pads.

Cleaning & care:

Dishwasher safe (top rack). To avoid staining or blistering we do not recommend adding colouring spices to

General Instructions:

Wash the Sistema® Microwave container before first use. Always make sure the lid is locked on and the vent is open before re-heating. When re-heating food cook in short intervals, 1-2 minutes so you don’t overheat the food. Cut raw food in small even sizes to promote a quicker cooking time. When cooking time ends, stir food and make sure it is cooked through. If it is not done, replace the lid and cook in 30 second – 1 minute increments until cooked through. If storing food in the container make sure to close the vent on top.

For best results ALWAYS make sure there is enough moisture either in the food or the container. Our recipes list recommended cooking times however you should check your food during the cooking process as the power of microwave ovens vary.
