Does anyone know how long it should be cooked? I only ever seem to use my steamer for veg, but it came with one of those baskets for cooking rice. Of course I have long since lost the instructions! I've got just plain basmati - any tips from knowlegable MNers gratefully received.

By the way - don't know if this is obvious but you put the rice and water in the rice basket and fill up the steamer water as usual
