It sounds about right but everyone's microwave is different and so is the product quality which make a difference in your time

Lol. I have no idea. I know that I cooked dry black beans in 31 minutes. They were actually a bit over cooked.

Usually 3:15 to 3:30. Some cycles (whole wheat) may take longer if they have an extra rise cycle.

Oh yes. I often put frozen veggies in it and microwave on high for as long as it takes. Maybe 3 to 4 minutes.

Great recipe, Stephen. Thanks for sharing it. I only added some maple syrup before serving. Not sure if this will make a difference for some people, but I let the oatmeal steam for about 15 minutes after cooking ends. (The "soup" setting takes roughly an hour.) Then I open the cooker and stir well.

I put 1 cup of steel cut oats, 3 1/2 cups water, a little salt, 1 tsp vanilla, and a sprinkle of cinnamon in at bedtime and set the timer for about an hour before I get up using the "soup" setting. (As I understand it, "soup" cooks at a lower temp but longer than the white rice setting.)Good stuff in the morning with milk and brown sugar.

This is going to depend on how much you have in the steamer and how big the pieces are - but I would start with 3 minutes and test how done the broccoli is done to your liking.

I combine them. For example today my baby got (steamed and pureed together): sweet potatoes+ spinachapples + raspberriescarrots+ broccoli+ cream cheeses( not steamed but pureed when veggies were ready)

depending on how you like it cooked, salmon should be tested at 13 minutes, i usually put veggies in the top portion like zucchini, yellow squash and sweet potatoes. rememeber the liquid for steam purposes, at least one cup, for the first portions. you have to play around with it a little, if it's not cooked to your liking, you can always put it back but over cooking is what you're eating.....i've only done salmon, veggies, would like to try scallops and large shrimp. hope this helps.

Cover beans with water, 1 to 2 inches over the beans; soak overnight. Pour into a strainer and rinse. Return to pan and cover with water, 2 to 3 inches over beans as they will expand during cooking. You can add salt if you wish. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer 60 to 90 minutes depending on how firm you want them. I like to make hummus so cook mine on the longer side. If you like a firmer bean for salads and stews, cook them around 60 minutes and check them. I also cook a larger amount, drain and dry them, put them in 2 cup serving sizes then freeze them.

I put frozen veggies in mine all the time. I am on Nutrisystem and will put in a bunch of frozen veggies plus my lunch meal and plug it in for a few hours. Doesn't seem to matter how long. It's usually 2-4 hours. It will warm the frozen. It will NOT cook raw meat. It works really well on the NS pasta meals so it does turn hard pasta soft in that time.

LORELEI_1, I would start out by cooking/steaming with about the same time it would take you to cook the veg. or whatever normally, then I would taste to see if it was the done enough for my taste...If not add a few more minutes or less...I hope this will help you get started...

Place water in bottom pan (water should not touch bottom of steamer), let water come to boiol; place steamer on top (inside the pan); place items to be streamed in steam bassket), put lid on. steam for recommended time on product being cooked. ex. brocolli, fresh - 2 to 3 mins( for myself). . or to your taste. This is very good for most vegetable; and warming food already cooked - also good for fish, shrimp, If there are instructions on package being ued, check for cooking time.

No. We use it for fish, chicken breast, and some times a pork chop. We have the saying, you can always cook more if it's not ready, but you can't uncook anything. We put mixed veggies on top with a sauce that drips down to the meat and cook from 7 to 10 minutes. If the veggies are to done (I like my crispy), then you can take the layer out and continue cooking the meat. It is very handy and we are considering buying a second one as we use it several times a week. Hope this answers you question. I really recommend the steamer if you like to eat healthy. I am a diabetic and this is great for me. Hope this helps. No. We use it for fish, chicken breast, and some times a pork chop.

Yes a cup of veggies is fine. I can usually fit one to two cups of broccoli florets in the small steamer. This steamer has really held up! I have used nearly every day for six months and shows no wear and tear

Not sure how the other works but this steamer is super easy!! Just pop food in with a bit of water and seasoning... Microwave for a few minutes and you get perfect veggies and fish every time!
