Brown Rice
Brown rice is often considered the healthiest variety. If offers itself in it’s natural
unbleached, bran rich form. It contains more B-complex vitamins, irons, calcium and
fibre than other varieties.
Wild Rice
Wild rice comes in many delicious varieties and mixes. Often it is mixed with long
grain rice for its firmer texture and rich brown to black colour. Wild rice makes a
wonderful stuffing for poultry when cooked with broth and mixed with your favourite
dried fruits.
COOKING RICE
You’ll have excellent results using this guideline. For your convenience, the inner pot
features water measurement lines inside. We have also provided a handy cup that is
designed to measure rice and water.
Using the measuring cup provided in the package, measure and add rice to the
inner pot. One full-level measure equals one cup.
You may choose any one of the following ways to add water for cooking: By
measuring cup, add proper amount of water to the rice inside the inner pot. (See
measurement chart); By waterline, add water to the rice inside the inner pot up to
the proper waterline. Example: for 4 cups of uncooked rice, add water to line 4.
For softer rice, we suggest preparing rice and water in the inner pot and let it soak
for 10-20 minutes before cooking.
Place the lid on cooker and plug in power cord. Press the on/off switch to “I”
position and press the cooking switch down. When your rice is cooked the cooker
will automatically switch to the warm function.
After cooking it is important to allow rice to stand, for 5-10 minutes without
removing lid. This will ensure that rice is cooked through.
Brown rice will take longer to cook. We suggest adding an additional 3/4-cup of
water to accommodate the proper cooking time.

Helpful hints
You may rinse rice to remove excess bran and starch. This will help to reduce rice
browning and sticking to the bottom of your pot after cooking, but it may also lose
some nutrients in the rice.
Remember: Place rice to your inner pot first and then add water before cooking.
If you have experienced any sticking due to the type of rice you choose, try adding
a light coating of vegetable oil to the bottom of inner pot before placing rice.
When cooking brown or wild rice, add 3/4 additional cup of water.
As there are many different kinds of rice available, rice/water measurement might
be slightly different by using different kind of rice. Remember to make the
adjustment to get the better result.
Notes: Always use the Measuring Cup coming together with your Rice Cooker,
otherwise fill the water to the bottom of the waterline.
