HELPFUL HINTS
Cooking Perfect Rice:
•
For faster cooking time and softer rice, soak rice in warm
water for 30 minutes prior to cooking.
•
After adding rice and water to the inner cooking pot,
remember to stir well so rice is coated evenly with water.
•
After COOK mode switches to WARM mode, allow rice to
warm for 10-15 minutes. This allows excess moisture to
evaporate.
•
Stir cooked rice lightly with a spoon before serving and
excess water will steam off.
Preventing Burning or Sticking:
•
Rinse the rice with warm water to remove excess bran and
starch. This will help reduce rice browning and sticking to
the bottom of your pot after cooking.
•
Some varieties of rice may stick to the inner pot. If you have
experienced any sticking on the inner pot, try adding a light
coating of vegetable or olive oil to the bottom of the inner pot
before cooking.
Cooking Brown Rice:
•
Soak brown rice for one hour and a half before cooking.
•
When cooking brown rice, pour an additional ¼ cup of water
into the inner pot for each cup of rice being cooked.
•
At maximum capacity, cooking time lasts about one hour.
•
After COOK mode switches to WARM mode, let rice
continue to warm for 20 minutes.
•
Stir to release excess moisture from cooked rice.
