Finally, perfect rice every time. With the Tupperware® Microwave Rice
Maker you can cook almost any type of rice and/or grain fast, easy, and
virtually mess free. By cooking and serving in one container, you can
save time, energy and space in your kitchen.
Key Features and Benefits
• The Tupperware® Microwave Rice Maker is easy to use. Simply fill
the base with the ingredients, close securely and place in the
microwave.
• Cook and serve in the same container.
• Leftover rice and/or grains can also be stored in the refrigerator
and re-heated in the microwave as needed. Note: The cover is not
liquid tight.
• The Microwave Rice Maker comes in three parts: Base, Insert and
Cover. Assembly instructions are conveniently etched on the Insert.
• The Microwave Rice Maker features a unique double cover that
collects the foam created during cooking and channels it into the
recessed area of the cover, then drains it back into the base. Your
microwave stays clean and safe from spills.
• Maximum fill for rice and water located on the outside of the base.
• The cover handles fold down and lock on the base, giving you a solid
grip when removing hot rice from the microwave.
• For best results, keep rice and water within the guidelines marked on
the container and use the correct power levels and cooking times for
your microwave.
• Makes up to 4 cups of cooked rice.
To Use
• Fill the base with rice first and then add water, paying attention to the
maximum fill line. To avoid boiling over, do not exceed maximum
quantities.
• Place the insert on to the base with the rimmed side up.
• Line up the handles of the lid with the handles on the side of the base.
Snap the handles in place by folding down and “clicking” the handles
of the cover on the handles of the base to lock them in place.
For Best Results
• Rinse the rice unless otherwise stated on the packaging.
• Use cold water.
• When cooking with salt (1 tsp.) add 2 – 4 minutes of cooking time.
• Allow rice to stand 5 minutes before serving.
• Fluff the rice after cooking with a plastic non-scratch Tupperware
utensil.
Cooking Guidelines for 4 servings:
All Rice and/or Grain needs to stand for at least 5 minutes before
servings unless otherwise noted below.
Precautions
• The Microwave Rice Maker is safe for temperatures between
32° - 248°F/ 0° - 120°C.
• Do not use in the freezer and do not exceed 248°F/ 120°C.
• Do not cook rice without water.
• Do not add fats, oils, or liquids that contain fat such as milk. Use only
water for cooking rice.
• The Microwave Rice Maker is not suitable for making risotto or rice
pudding.
• Do not use abrasives or sharp utensils to avoid scratching.
• Respect the maximum fill line. Do not overfill to avoid boil-over. For
rice with a high starch content, cook small quantities.
• Always lift the lid away from you to avoid burning from steam buildup.
• Always use oven mitts when removing cooked rice from the
microwave oven.
Care
• Dishwasher safe.
• Refrigerator safe.
• Rinse the entire container immediately after use with cold water to
prevent strong odors or stains.
• To avoid stains, do not add tomato sauce, saffron, curry or other
colored spices. Do not reheat curry or tomato dishes in the
Microwave Rice Maker. Staining will not affect the performance of the
product and is not covered by the Tupperware® guarantee.

This is exactly what I needed to know. My sister misplaced her directions before she used this for the first time. Thanks for your helpful post! I LOVE Tupperware!
Oh, excellent Lysa! I love it when someone benefits from my postings!
Thank you for posting! I've been searching the web for which 9 grains the rice maker can cook. Now that I know I definately have to get one ;-) Thanks again!
My pleasure Angelique! I do this blog for you and others like you.
BTW, this is a great rice/grain cooker!
I also misplaced instructions how great that all my questions were answered here in one place. Thank you so much.
Thanks for this post! I also lost my directions and had no clue how to use it and my friend at work wanted to know if you could make sushi rice in it. Now I have an answer for her. Thanks again!
40 minutes in the microwave for brown rice? For 5 more minutes, I could do it on the stove!!!!
How do you use the rice cooker to serve 8 people? Do I need to make more batches?
Aimee, Cooking brown rice in the Microwave Rice Cooker only saves a few minutes, but what I especially like is that I set the microwave and then forget it. Rice cooks perfectly every time. But even better is that it doesn't boil over and make a huge mess (like my electric one), my house stays cool on a hot day, and wash up is a snap! Give it a try. I'm sure you'll love it as much as I do!
Thanks for this. I got the rice maker as a gift, misplaced the instructions and needed to use the rice maker tonight. Thanks for taking the time to type it up.
Thanks so much for your great information Cheryll! A friend of mine kindly gave me her tupperware rice cooker but had misplaced the instructions and now I have all the info I need! My friends refer to me as the Tupperware queen and after my most recent party (2 weeks ago) I realize just how much Tupperware I have. I can't recommend Tupperware highly enough!
I bought the fresh herbs planter. Any tips on using that? Can I plant more than one herb per planter?
Thanks!
Thanks so much Cheryll! A friend of mine kindly gave me her Tupperware microwave rice cooker but she had lost the instructions. You have now answered all my questions at once! My friends refer to me as the Tupperware queen and after my most recent Tupperware party (2 weeks ago) I have realized just how much Tupperware I have!
I bought the Fresh Herb Planter at my party and I was just wondering if you have any tips for using it? Can I plant more than one herb per planter?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
I got this rice cooker about a month ago. I use it all the time now, and I LOVE it. And cleanup is a snap! My kids have even used it when they want a quick meal (I usually keep teriyaki'd chicken and/or turkey in the freezer).
I love tupperware!
this post is still helping us.... Thank you! cyn
Cheryll,
Thank you so much I too misplaced the directions and had no clue on the time..thank you so much!
Grandma Roxie
Same - I filed my instructions away in a very secure place and need to make rice for dinner tonight. Thankfully I don't need to do it on the stove now. Thanks for your post!
Wondering about the 3.5 cups of water for the brown rice recipe - that takes it over the max line in the cooker, or is that the max line for rice?
What constitutes "medium" power? My microwave has power in percentages so would 50% equal "medium" Also 1 cup equals 4 servings but I have 6 people in my family. Can I do more than one cup and what would the water portion be?
Pam
What constitutes “medium” power? My microwave’s power is in percentages so would “50%” equal “medium”? Also, I have 6 people in my family so is 1 cup the maximum I can make which only serves 4 people?
Pam
at the party i brought rice cooker from, she also mentioned you can cook / steam vegies in this too. Have you tried and know how??
Thanks
Hi, i was also showed at party you can cook / steam vegies in this aswell. Have you tried, and how do you do it?? Thanks
Thanks for having the directions to this piece of Tupperware. My mom gave me the directions when she gave me the rice cooker. Lifesaver, as I'm cooking my first dinner for my fiancee tonight. Thanks again!
I live at high altitude 9671 feet. does this affect the cook time i lost my directions when we moved and honestly never used it before but when i tried it still had too much water left in it and i cooked 2 cups for 10 min did i do something wrong?
Loved the rice cooker for white rice, very easy and turned out perfect. But tried brown rice and the cooker didn't handle the 5 min high, and 45 min med in the microwave. Melted the bottom right out of it. I did follow the instructions for amounts of water and rice. Was quite surprised when I went to take it out of the microwave.
your brown rice post said 5 min on high 40 on low that is an error right
No error Kim, that's pretty much how to cook brown rice in the Rice Maker. If you've had different experience please let us know.
