Condensation will drip from the
upper basket into the lower basket.
So make sure the flavours go well
together.

be careful: it will be very hot.

You can also use the rice bowl for
cooking anything in liquid (eg
vegetables in sauces or poaching
fish in water).

Leave gaps between pieces of food.
And put the thicker pieces nearer the
outside.
