This item comes from America, so make sure you have a power converter that will power a 900w unit, as to your question I am not sure it will cook the two together as I blew my converter the first time I used it, point of interest Maplin do a 1000 w converter.

Yes you can cook rice and veggies at the same time. We do advise following whatever recipe guidelines you have for cooking times, as they may vary.

There is only one clay pot - I don't think you can steam and cook rice at the same time. It is an excellent rice cooker though.

Leave the microwave at a high setting and cook according to instructions. This is such a great way to cook vegetables and rice.

Yes, unless the turkey is so big as to take up all the room inside. I cook veggies same time as chicken often.

Absolutely. You can steam the rice or you can slow cook but I prefer the steamed one. You can also use the regular cook option to cook it.

Yes and no. If you have one simple dish like spaghetti then yes but if you have meat, rice and veggies and you don't want it all mixed together then no. I mainly use it for soups.

I can mix lentils and rice, but if I mix quinoa and rice, the rice sinks to the bottom and gets slightly burned. The Quinoa is fine, so maybe it would work to cook quinoa in there by itself. You'd have to experiment with the correct amount of water to add.

It doesn't hold a lot of veggies. You could cut a potato in half and steam some green beans or broccoli. That's it. Enough for one person for a meal. Not enough for two. (Although I use it constantly as it works brilliantly at steaming dumplings.) And yes, you can cook rice and steam together.

Yes you can. As long as you don't over fill it. I also cook lentils in the rice cooker.

Hi,Yes, you can do both. Since vegetables only take a few minutes to steam, it is recommended to place the steamer with vegetables into the pot near the end of the rice cooking cycle. If you place the vegetables to steam in the pot for the whole rice cooking cycle, the vegetables will be overcooked. You have to be always careful of the escaping steam when you open the lid.

This is a rice cooker. You can cook some vegetables on top of the rice but only per the instructions. You can cook porridge in it but once again per the instructions.

Yes this will make more than enough rice for 2 people. Not sure about the food steamer, I would not think you could do them at the same time as it would probably be different settings and times for different types of foods. Otherwise if steaming veggies they would get mushy.

Yes, it can. Not only rice but other grains as well. You can also make stews and soups. Most slow-cooker recipes can be cooked in this model.

Good question, when I bought this I was under the assumption that you can cook the rice and warm your food at the same time, but that is not the case. Your food has to be warmed separately and then you can put it on the already cooked rice in warming setting. If you leave the food container in the same compartment as the rice before steaming, there will be no room for the steam to escape all the rice is cooking and probably will cause some type of malfunction

I have cooked rice in it but not veggies. I followed the same instructions for the rice as you do with the pasta.
