Cooking Rice
Helpful
Hints:
· Before placing the inner
pot into the cooker,
check that it is dry and
free of debris. Adding
the inner pot when
wet may damage the
cooker.
·
Grains
and brown rice
require a much longer
cooking cycle than other
rice varieties due to the
extra bran layers on the
grains. The
Multigrain
function on this cooker
allows extra time and
adjusted heat settings in
order to cook the grains
properly. If it appears
the cooker is not heating
up immediately on the
Multigrain
setting, this
is due to a low-heat
soak cycle that precedes
the cooking cycle to
produce better results.
· Rice should not be
left in the cooker on
Keep Warm
for more
than 12 hours.
1. Using the provided measuring cup, add rice to
the inner pot.
2. Rinse rice to remove excess starch. Drain.
3. Fill with water to the line which matches the
number of cups of rice being cooked.
4. Place the inner pot into the cooker.
5. Close the lid securely.
6. Plug the power cord into an available 120V AC
wall outlet.
7. Press the
Keep Warm/( )
button to turn on
the cooker.
8. Press
Rice
or
Multigrain
, depending upon the
type of rice being cooked.
9. The cooker will now begin cooking. The cooking
indicator light will illuminate and the display
begins a chasing pattern.
10. The cooker will countdown the final 10 minutes
of cook time.
11. Once rice is finished, the cooker will beep and
automatically switch to
Keep Warm
.
12. For better results, stir the rice with the serving
spatula to distribute any remaining moisture.
13. When finished serving rice, turn the cooker off
by pressing
Keep Warm/( )
twice and unplug
the power cord.
If you misplace the
measuring cup, a ¾
standard US cup is an
exact replacement.
To add more flavor
to rice, try substituting
a favorite meat or
vegetable broth or stock.
The ratio of broth/stock
to rice will be the same
as water to rice.
For approximate rice
cooking times and
suggested rice/water
ratios, see the "Rice/
Water Measurement
