How is it possible to steam rice in a food steamer along with vegetables?

id say use a china dish instead of tubberware. i don't really understand what kind of steamer you have but we have a metal deep pot that a strainer sits in. I imagine if i stuck a bowl of rice in there, it would cook just fine. It might cook at a different speed than the veggies though, so I'd try a few test runs before preparing for a dinner party or anything!
