HELPFUL HINTS
1. Rinse rice before placing into the inner pot to remove excess bran and starch. This will help reduce
browning and sticking.
2. If you have experienced any sticking with the type of rice you are using, try adding a light coating of
vegetable oil or non-stick spray to the bottom of the inner pot before adding rice.
3. The chart above is only a general measuring guide. As there are many different kinds of rice
available (see About Rice on page 15 ), rice/water measurements may vary slightly.

Using the Pasta | Rice Gourmet™
• What you’ll need:
Inner Pot • Colander • Steam Tray
1. Add the desired amount of water to the inner pot according to the food being cooked. A
convenient steaming guide has been included on page 13 of this manual for reference.

5. Allow to cook for the necessary amount of time (see page 13 for a steaming guide). Using protective
oven mitts, open the lid and check food every so often for doneness.
6. Remove food immediately after cooking process has completed. Using protective oven mitts, grasp
the handles of the colander and carefully lift out. Place on a heat-proof surface and carefully remove
the steam tray from the colander.
