Lustro Rice Cooker 1.8L Instruction Manual
LONG GRAIN RICE
Typically this rice (Basmati rice) is not starchy and
sticky. After cooking the grains are firm and loose.
BROWN RICE
Brown rice is considered to be the healthiest variety. Rice
grains are covered with bran layers and contain more
B-complex vitamins, iron, calcium and fibre than polished (white) rice. The
brown rice with long grains and chewy texture is the most popular variety.
SHORT GRAIN RICE
Often called “Pearl Rice” due to its round shape it is
characteristically soft, sticky and chewy. It is usually
used for sushi, rice balls and rice puddings.
WILD RICE
Wild rice comes in many delicious varieties. 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, tasty
broths and can be mixed with your favorite dried fruits.
