Steaming: place food in a steaming basket or ceramic bowl inside the cooker, in a few centimeters of water. Grains: cover the bowl with alfoil. Bagels and bread: don't cover the bowl.   kellyjones00 (593)

Modern cookers have several safety mechanisms to ensure steam can always escape. ALSO, The best cookers prevent opening the lid when steam is built-up inside, e.g. lid held closed by steam pressure.

Check that the rubber-ring seal on the inside rim of the lid is in good condition. Also, do not block the vents during cooking, e.g. frothy foods.   kellyjones00 (593)

Pressure cooking is a very good idea. It cuts 60-70% of cooking time (and electricity), as well as water.   kellyjones00 (593)

Don't fill more than half of the pot, to avoid food-stuffs from rising and blocking steam vents. Adding oil to legumes and rice can help, as does only using a minimum of herbs and spices. Always pre-soak and wash beans and rices well before cooking. Red lentils are particularly prone to boiling over.   kellyjones00 (593)
