Important Safety Instructions

  • Always ensure the rice maker is clean before use.
  • Do not overfill the rice maker beyond the maximum fill line to prevent boiling over.
  • Use caution when removing the rice maker from the microwave, as contents and the container will be hot. Use oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves.
  • Always allow a few minutes for steam to dissipate before opening the lid after cooking. Open the lid away from your face to avoid steam burns.
  • This product is designed for microwave use only. Do not use on stovetops, in conventional ovens, or under a grill.

  • Inspect the product for any damage before each use. Do not use if cracked or damaged.

Components

Your Tupperware Microwave Rice Maker consists of three main parts:

  1. Outer Bowl: The main container for cooking rice.
  2. Insert: A perforated insert that helps prevent boil-over.
  3. Lid: Secures the contents during cooking and has vents for steam release.

Setup and First Use

Before using your rice maker for the first time, wash all components (outer bowl, insert, and lid) thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse well and dry completely. This removes any manufacturing residues.

Operating Instructions

Follow these general steps for cooking white rice. Cooking times and water ratios may vary slightly depending on the type of rice and your microwave's wattage.

  1. Measure Rice: Add your desired amount of rice to the outer bowl. A common ratio is 1 cup of rice.
  2. Rinse Rice (Optional): Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, if desired. Drain thoroughly.
  3. Add Water: For white rice, a general guideline is a 2:1 ratio of water to rice (e.g., 2 cups of water for 1 cup of rice). Adjust for other rice types as needed. Ensure the total volume does not exceed the maximum fill line.
  4. Insert and Lid: Place the perforated insert into the outer bowl, then securely attach the lid. The lid should click into place.
  5. Microwave: Place the assembled rice maker in the microwave. For 1 cup of white rice, microwave on high power for approximately 15-20 minutes. Cooking time may vary based on microwave wattage and rice type.
  6. Rest: After cooking, carefully remove the rice maker from the microwave using oven mitts. Let it rest, undisturbed, for 5-10 minutes with the lid on. This allows the rice to absorb remaining moisture and become fluffy.
  7. Fluff and Serve: Carefully remove the lid, opening it away from your face. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.

Maintenance and Cleaning

The Tupperware Microwave Rice Maker is designed for easy cleaning.

  • Dishwasher Safe: All components are dishwasher safe. Place them on the top rack for best results.
  • Hand Washing: If hand washing, use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storing.
  • Stains: For stubborn food stains, soak the components in warm soapy water before cleaning.

Troubleshooting

  • Rice is Undercooked/Hard: Increase microwave cooking time in 1-2 minute increments, or add a small amount more water for future batches. Ensure adequate resting time after cooking.
  • Rice is Overcooked/Mushy: Decrease microwave cooking time, or reduce the amount of water for future batches.
  • Water Boils Over: Ensure you are not exceeding the maximum fill line. Reduce the amount of water or rice, or decrease microwave power slightly. The insert is designed to minimize this, but overfilling can still cause issues.
  • Difficulty Seeing Fill Line: Due to the product's design, the fill line may be subtle. Use a measuring cup for precise water and rice ratios.
  • Handles Feel Loose or Damaged: If any part of the product appears damaged, discontinue use immediately and contact customer support.
