How to cook rice
Before using your Risotto and Rice Perfect
for the first time wash the removable cooking
pan, lid, rice measuring cup and serving
spoon in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
1. Using the rice measuring cup provided,
measure out the required quantity of rice,
making sure that the rice is a level cup
full. Refer to the Rice Cooking Charts on
page
8.
2. Place the measured rice in a sieve and
wash rice thoroughly under cold water.
Continue washing rice until water runs
clear. Making sure to shake off any excess
liquid once washed. This removes excess
starch which will make the rice fluffier.
3. Ensure the exterior of the cooking pan is
clean and dry before placing inside the
heating vessel.
4. Place the washed rice in the cooking pan,
and add cold water. Make sure that the
rice is spread evenly in the bottom of the
pan.
5. Replace the lid.
6. Press the MENU button until the RICE
light is illuminated. When rice is cooked,
the unit will beep and automatically switch
to KEEP WARM.
7. The Sunbeam Risotto and Rice Perfect
will remain on the KEEP WARM setting
for 30 minutes until you’re ready to
serve. After 30 minutes it will switch off,
this will ensure the rice is warm but not
overcooked.
