A Beginners Guide To
Rice Cooking
Handy Tips
•
Measure out the rice and rinse it thoroughly under running water in a sieve until the run off
water becomes clear. (Do not rinse Arborio rice).
•
Always add the rice first then add in the water.
•
Then place the rice into the bowl before adding cold water.
•
Make sure the rice is distributed around the whole surface of the bowl, in order to allow even
cooking.
•
Add salt if required. Allow about half a teaspoon of salt for 4 cups of rice.
•
Stock may be substituted for water if desired.
•
Make sure the lid is closed and valve on air tight.
•
Press the Rice button.
•
On completion of cooking, select the Keep Warm function, open the lid and stir the rice and
leave it for a few minutes longer in order to get perfect rice.
Measuring And Maximum Capacity
The graduated markings on the inside of the inner bowl are given in litres and cups and are used for
measuring the amount of water when cooking rice.

The plastic cup provided can also be used to measure rice.

The table above states the approximate quantity of rice required for the number of servings.
