ADDITIONAL USES FOR YOUR RICE COOKER
Packaged foods:
condensed and ready to serve soups, pastas, and stews
• Do not fill bowl above the highest water marking cup level on the cooking bowl.
• For even heating, stir occasionally.
• Always use a kitchen timer. Do not rely on the control switch on the cooker since it is not
intended to be an indicator of cooking time for soups and stews.
• Use only boneless meats and poultry that are cut into cubes no larger than 1½ inches. It
is not necessary to brown the meats before cooking.
• When cooking rice or pasta in the soup, add additional liquid in the recipe.
• Since most frozen vegetables cook very quickly, it is best to add them at the end of the
cooking time. Stir them into the soup or stew and allow the mixture to cook an additional
5 to 10 minutes.
• Choose recipes that will cook in 1 hour or less.
OATMEAL OR HOT CEREALS
• Steel Cut Oats work best.
• Do not fill bowl more than half way with liquids, as the oatmeal will expand during the
cooking process.
• For even heating, stir occasionally.
• When the oatmeal is done, the rice cooker will switch to warm. Please note that this is for
well-done oatmeal. If you prefer a different consistency, monitor the cooking process to
manually switch to warm for desired results.
• Choose recipes that will cook in 1 hour or less.
