I work in the pharma industry, I have raised an infant, and I like steaming rice and shrimp. Rice cookers have an overflow catch that helps trap foaming steam from escaping. I keep the leftover gas drops that I used to give my daughter, in a cabinet above my rice cooker. I have seen the active ingredient, Simethicone, used as an anti-foaming agent in over-the-counter medicines on the manufacturing floor. That's probably how it prevents gas in babies, it keeps the foam/bubbles from forming and passing further in the GI tract. So I added a drop or two to the trap of my rice cooker which was sputtering and voila ! The sputtering stopped and I opened the cooker and the bubbles were gone. No added taste. The next time I had shrimp in my cookware steamer, lower pot and strainer, I added a couple of drops and this prevented the annoying phenomenon of the boiling water becoming more foamy and foamy until it's up in the strainer, effectively boiling...
