Tips for cooking rice
•
Rice is a valuable source of complex carbohydrates containing natural starch. We recommend that you
rinse the rice using cold potable water until it runs clear. This prevents the browning of rice and its sticking
to the bottom part of the vessel, however, it may also cause loss of some rice nutrients.
•
When you add more water, the rice becomes fl uffi
er, when you remove water the rice becomes tougher.
•
Some types of rice need more water, for example wild rice, Arborio rice of short grain rice. Therefore
always adjust the recipe as needed. Proceed according to the instructions on the package of rice.
•
When cooking in a larger amount of water the inside of the lid may be splashed by water drops with
starch. To achieve the best results, rinse the rice before cooking and let it stand for 20 minutes after
fi nishing cooking to absorb the excess water.
