TIPS AND HINTS
RICE TIPS
• We recommend rinsing all imported rice.
Place rice in a medium bowl and cover
with water. Do not use the cooking bowl.
Swirl until the water appears cloudy, then
drain in a fine mesh strainer. Fill the bowl
with fresh water and repeat until water is
clear or nearly clear.
• Some people wash domestic (not
imported) rice, which is usually vitamin-
enriched. This removes the starch and
makes it less sticky, but it also washes
away some of those vitamins.
• Sushi rice and most brown rice should
always be rinsed before cooking. Follow
the directions on the package your rice
comes in.
• Brown rice should be kept on the Keep
Warm setting for no more than 2 hours.
If kept at that setting longer, the rice may
begin to ferment.
• When measuring rice with your rice
cooker cup, level it off with a table knife
or spatula.
• Adding a teaspoon of vegetable oil to rice
or coating the cooking bowl lightly with
nonstick cooking spray will result in rice
with separated, less sticky grains.
• After adding rice to the cooking bowl, level
it off to cover the entire bottom of the bowl
so it cooks evenly.
• The taste of the water will affect the taste
of the rice. If you do not like the taste of
your tap water, use filtered water.
• Rice can be cooked in liquids other than
