Because rice varieties may vary in their make-up, results may differ. Below are some troubleshooting tips to help you achieve the
desired consistency.
Rice is too dry/hard after cooking.
If your rice is dry or hard/chewy when the rice cooker switches to “Keep-Warm” mode, additional water and
cooking time will soften the rice. Depending on how dry your rice is, add ½ to 1 cup of water and stir thoroughly.
Close the lid and press WHITE RICE. When rice cooker switches to “Keep-Warm” mode, open the lid and stir the
rice to check the consistency. Repeat as necessary until rice is soft and moist.
Rice is too moist/soggy after cooking.
If your rice is too moist or soggy when the rice cooker switches to “Keep-Warm” mode, use the serving spatula to
stir the rice. This will redistribute the bottom (moistest) part of the rice as well as release excess moisture. Close
the lid and allow to remain on “Keep-Warm” mode for 10-30 minutes as needed, removing the lid and stirring
periodically to release excess moisture.
The bottom layer of rice is browned/
caramelized.
The bottom layer of cooked rice may become slightly browned and/or caramelized during cooking. To reduce
browning, rice should be rinsed before cooking to remove any excess starch. Stirring rice once it switches to
“Keep-Warm” will also help to reduce browning/caramelizing.
