Lost directions for using my Sisan Steamer. I have the water measure but don't know how much salt to add. Can you help?

The measuring cup holds 1/4 cup. Fill with tap water and pour one full measure into the hole exposed by removal of handle. Then measure table salt into small hollow on handle. Next, pour two (2) full measures of salt into a second measuring cup full of water, and pour into Sisan. Never use more salt than will fill the measuring hollow in handle. Remember that should the steam cease, unplug and refill with two measures of tap water, but no more salt.

Maintenance:

Add one (1) teaspoon white vinegar to two measures of tap water, put it in the Sisan Steamer and let it run a few minutes. Then pour this out of the Steamer and rinse well to scale the inside.

Does it tell you to add salt to the water?(I have a cheapo little steamer that requires salt to increase the conductivity of the water-it just creates steam by running AC voltage through the water in the tank)

You can definitely add salt and put herbs in the steamer. Try adding a couple of bayleaves.

Instead of just using water, you can use a mixture of white wine or chicken stock.

I suggest you clean the cell according to manual and try it then. If it keeps producing chlorine then keep swimming. If the pump is flowing water fully (if not clean baskets and filter) and it can't keep the chlorine above 2 ppm and you have 30 to 50 ppm stabilizer in the water then there is a major problem in the chlorinator. I don't trust the salt indicator on some chlorinators but that is less important than if it chlorinates. You can but salt test strips. I hope this helps.

At initial startup add 290 pounds of salt. Add 75 pounds if low salt warning appears. Set the timer to run the pump for 10 hours per day.Get a downladable owner's manual here: http://pr-rp.pmra-arla.gc.ca/PR_SOL/pr_web.ve1?p_ukid=5143

Remove the handle on the iron. Then fill the opening with two measures of table salt, using the handle's device to measure the salt. Add 2 oz. of water in the opening, then reattach the handle. Connect the handle and plug into an outlet. After a few seconds, the iron should begin steaming. It is then ready to use.

I have a salton rice cooker model ra-3. I cannot find my cooking book for it. Also my measuring cup that came with it. I want to know the ratio for water and rice. I do have lines in my pot. I seem to remember that you are not suppose to put salt in with the rice. I can't remember if you could subsitute broth for the water. If you could help me out with this that would be great. Also where can I get a new manual.

Thank you,

Cathy

I know the exact model you are talking about! I have one myself....Basically it is always two parts water to one part rice using the same measuring cup to measure both! So if you decided to use it for 6 cups total it would be 4 cups of water and 2 cups rice.....As for veges, You would fill the bottom of the inside pot just enough to where it doesnt touch the other pot that goes inside with holes to hold the veges and you can add a little salt, But then you close the lid and press the cook button and when it finishes it makes a quick and easy dinner side!

Here's all the info I've been able to find:

The older Rival rice cooker steamer should have a base, a lid, steamer basket, and rice bowl.

To cook rice, fill center basin of base with water. Place the rice bowl on basin. Add rice and water as follows. For white rice add water in a 1:1 ratio to rice plus 1/2 cup. For brown rice add water in a 1:1 ratio to rice plus 3/4 cup. Examples: 1 cup white rice, 1-1/2 cup water; 2 cups brown rice, 2-3/4 cups water. Put lid on and plug in and in about 50 minutes you should have delicious rice.

Timing is Everything
Whether using the Rival Steamer for a main dish or for a side dish, cooking is easy. But not Fast. Rice and steamed vegetables actually take twice as long to cook in this steamer. The simplicity comes since you add your rice or vegetables in one step. No waiting for one thing to happen before you can do the next. Put water and fruits, vegetables, fish, poultry or rice in the basket or bowl that come with the unit, cover, plug in and wait for the light to go off per the timing chart.
1/4 cup water takes 6 -7 minutes
1/2 cup water takes 10-12 minutes
3/4 cup water takes 16-17 minutes
1 cup water takes 19-22 minutes
1.25 cups water takes 24-26 minutes
1.5 cups water takes 26-30 minutes
2 cups water takes 38-39 minutes
2.5 cups water takes 43-44 minutes
3 cups water (max fill) takes 45-50 minutes.
