Tips for cooking rice
1. For fluffier rice, add a little extra water,
for firmer rice reduce the amount of water.
By adding too much water, excess may
overflow during cooking. It is recommended
to follow the charts on page 8, and then
adjust to your liking when the cooking
cycle has finished.
2. Brown rice and Arborio rice need more
liquid to cook, which results in the build
up of starchy bubbles foaming around the
lid. This can cause spitting from the air
vent. By washing the rice thoroughly this
can be reduced.
