Precautions for GABA Cooking
If smaller germ is preferred, omit pre-germination process. Select GABA menu, set-up appropriate germination
time, and start cooking (nutrient ingredients do not vary significantly by the size of germ).
During hot seasons, longer germination time may generate odor. Reduce germination time.
GABA cooking is allowed up to 6 persons.
City water can be used for germination. However, spring water is recommended. Germination may not be properly
performed in hot or boiled water even after cooling.
Germination rate, germ growth may differ by the Brown rice type, condition or period of storing, etc.
- Germinated brown rice is sprouted brown rice. Germination rate and growth may differ by the Brown rice type.
The brown rice should be within 1 year from harvest, and not long since pounded.
In GABA mode, preset on 4H, 5H, 6H may not be possible. If you want to preset the GABA, set up ‘OH’.(See the page 25)
The taste of rice could be different as depending on a kind of brown rice. Use customized taste function or control the
amount of water for your taste. (Refer to page 19~21)
In order to promote germination, soak brown rice for 16 hours in water.
Method of Pre-germination
Put washed brown rice in an appropriate container, pour sufficient water to soak the rice.
Pre-germination shall not exceed 16 hours. Make sure to wash rice clean with flowing water before using
GABA menu. Be careful that hard washing may take off embryos which generate the germination.
Unique smell may be generated according to the soaking time of pre-germination.
When pre-germination has been completed, wash the rice and put in inner pot (Oven). Pour appropriated volume
of water, and use GABA menu.
In summer or hot temperature environment odor may be generated. Reduce germination time and wash clean
when cooking.
