Safety Considerations:
1) Rice cookers cook at very high temperatures and will produce
large amounts of steam. Use extreme caution when opening the
rice cooker during and after the cooking cycle. When removing
the lid, keep hands and face away from the rice cooker to avoid
the escaping steam.
2) If a recipe calls for the sauteing of butter or oil, use extreme
caution, as you would when cooking with other
high-temperature devices like a stove or oven. The inner pot will
be hot, so use a long-handled plastic or wooden spoon for
stirring. DO NOT USE the short-handled rice paddle for this type of
cooking.
3) It is important to remember that the cooking cycle of the rice
cooker is controlled by the temperature of the inner pot. When
liquid boils off, the temperature will rise, causing the rice cooker
to automatically shift into the low temperature “Keep-Warm”
mode. This is fine for making rice dishes but if a recipe calls for
steaming or making soups, where copious quantities of liquid are
used, the rice cooker will not shut off until all liquid is boiled away.
Follow the recipe carefully and do not leave the rice cooker
unattended as it will continue to cook at high temperatures
when making soups, stews, chillis and steaming. Monitor the
cooking process. MANUALLY TURN OFF the rice cooker when the
time that the recipe stipulates has elapsed.
• Spraying the inner pot with a light coating of nonstick cooking
spray is a great way to make cleanup easier without adding flavor
or calories to your meal.
• When a recipe calls for salt, use kosher salt. It has no impurities or
additives and dissolves easily. You will need to use about one an
half more kosher salt than you would table salt.
• If the rice cooker shuts off before the food is totally cooked, add
more water and start the cooker again.
• Stocks and broths can be used in place of water to add flavor and
improve texture when cooking rice. Stocks and broths can be
found in your local supermarket. Another option is to use bouillon
cubes (they come in a wide variety of flavors). One cube and one
cup of water usually makes one cup of stock.
