HELPFUL HINTS
Rinsing the rice before cooking will remove excess bran and starch as
well as nutrients and will result in loose rice with easily separated grains.
Unwashed rice is sticky and more suitable for dishes like sushi or riceballs.
Some types of rice may stick to the bottom of the removable bowl. To
prevent sticking add a little vegetable oil before adding the rice.
Raisins and dried fruits will absorb as much water as rice, so put them
into the measuring cup along with the rice.

EVAPORATED FROM THE REMOVABLE BOWL CAUSING IT TO BOIL DRY.

DO NOT KEEP THE STEAMED FOOD IN THE ‘KEEP WARM’ MODE FOR

HELPFUL HINTS
Since most vegetables only absorb a small amount of water, there is no
need to increase the amount of water for larger servings of vegetables.
For more even cooking cut all pieces of food into the same size.
Keep the lid closed during the entire steaming process. Opening the lid
will cause a loss of heat and steam, resulting in longer cooking time
If you find it necessary to open the lid, use extreme caution. You may
want to add a small amount of water to restore the cooking time.
Altitude, humidity and room temperature may affect cooking times.

ALWAYS UNPLUG THE RICE COOKER AND ALLOW IT TO COMPLETELY
