to the type of rice you are cooking, try
adding a light coating of vegetable oil to
the bottom of the inner pot before add

Short grain is characteristically soft, sticky and
chewy. This rice is usually used to make sushi.
“Pearl Rice”, so often called for its round shape,
is extra sticky and is excellent for making rice
puddings.
BroWn rice
Brown rice is considered the heal thiest variety.
It has bran layers on the rice grains and con
tains more B complex vitamins, iron, cal cium
and fibre than polished (white) rice. The most
popular brown rice is long grain, which has a
chewy texture.
Wild rice
Wild Rice comes in many delicious varieties
and mixes. It is often mixed with long grain rice
for its firmer texture and rich brown to black
color. Wild rice makes wonderful stuffing for
poultry when cooked with broth and mixed
with your favorite dried fruits.
