PROBLEM: Passage: The last time I cooked rice , I used my new rice steamer I bought . I was very excited to use it because I have never had a rice steamer before . After unpacking the box , I washed the cooker . First I had to rinse the dry rice off in a strainer to get rid of any excess starch . After that , I put the rinsed rice into the steamer . I had to add the appropriate amount of water over the rice . As the steamer cooked , it started to boil inside and cook the rice . After it was done cooking , the button popped up and this is how I knew it was done . After stirring the rice in the pot , it was ready to eat . I felt very accomplished and thought it was an easier way to cook rice than boiling it in a pot and it becoming a sticky mess . Question: What did they push? Option1: the rice Option2: a button to start

SOLUTION: a button to start
