Veggies

I use the included cup to measure the water to put in the bottom of the lunch box. It could be used to measure ingredients, but it might take longer than using a traditional measuring cup.

As long as you put the perfect amount of water in the base of it, it would perfectly for auto shut off. Essentially, it will fun/cook, until the water runs out of the base. You put too much, it’ll cook too much. 😉

It has boil dry protection which will shut it off when the water in the base runs out. One Itaki cup of water will last about 15 minutes. Rice usually takes about 30 minutes.

She doesn’t need to idiot.

Some places like in america, people don't wash rice.

100% agree.

Jeni10 yes, you are correct. My mistake is I said otherwise. I was still learning when I made this video 🥳

H H yeah, I understand. I bought this one and the Shabuki Pot because they do different things, and I love them! I've cooked risotto, meat balls and chicken pieces in the Shabuki pot, and rice and vegies in the Pro.

Lawrence Tran yes, it smells yummy while the food is cooking!! 😍

Nothing to be concerned about. Steaming food always reaches 212 degrees Fahrenheit because that is the boiling point for water. So it is always consistent. Chicken must reach 165 degrees to cook properly. So when steaming it will be cooking the chicken at 212 degrees and you want to steam it for 30-45 min depending on how thin your chicken slices are. So as long as it's not pink inside you should be good. The Itaki generally turns off about an hour when using 3 cups of water (from the small cup provided) and you can place a timer for 45min. With steaming it's very hard to overcook food.

SusanScrapPassion The steam gets burning hot. My food is always heated very nicely, no concerns for me, in regards to temperature. 😊

30 to 40 minutes will steam most things. If it boils dry, it will cut out for safety. Check your food, if it's not cooked, add another mini cup of water or two and go again. It's hard to overcook chicken by steaming it for a bit longer.

Get a meat thermometer

Matthew Valadez Yes, when the water runs out, it turns off.

H H thank you. I ended up ordering a small one and a jumbo one for hotel nights with family out of state.

It shuts off when the water dries up, to protect the Itaki, if your food isn't cooked, just add another little cup of water to the base and go again.

Matthew Valadez I’d like to add, the instructions that came with it are very vague. This has definitely been a trial and error kind of learning, for me. I tend to use the scent of the food cooking, as more of a guide for doneness, rather than the actual timer light. Since there’s no real recipe for many meals and heating time can vary greatly, I depend more upon my nose. I check the food kind of often, maybe 15-20 minutes in, add more water if needed. Obviously, if I come across my food cooked as I wanted and it was still running, I just turn it off. 😊 I never just turned the Itaki on and let it run unattended.

H H I try and leave it unattended because of work but so far so good

senihhines#1 maybe 20 minutes!! 🎉

Not for young kids, it gets too hot and they could injure themselves. Meals vary but think of a steamer and use that as a guide.

Would not recommend it for kids.

I've received mine. They advise that children under 15 should not use it.

Jeni10 sounds appropriate! Also, I’m not sure how well received this would be at a children’s school.. You’ll be that judge. But, for me, I was easily able to use this at my work. Super handy, hot meal, and co-workers were jealous 😂😂

Thank you! Loving this little steamer <3
