HELPFUL
HINTS
• Rinse rice before placing it into the inner cooking pot to remove excess bran and starch. This will help reduce browning and sticking to
the bottom of the pot.
• Want perfect brown rice without the wait? Use the “Delay Timer.” Simply add rice and water in the morning and set the “Delay Timer” for
when rice will be needed that night. See “To Use The Delay Timer” on
page 10
for more details.
• This chart is only a general measuring guide. As there are many different kinds of rice available (see “About Rice” on
page 26
), rice/water
measurements may vary.

may vary.
NOTE
HELPFUL
HINTS
• Since most vegetables only absorb a small amount of water,
there is
no need to increase the amount of water with a larger serving
of vegetables.
• Steaming times may vary depending upon the cut of meat being
used.
• To ensure meat tastes its best, and to prevent possible illness, check
that meat is completely cooked prior to serving. If it is not, simply
place more water in the inner cooking pot and repeat the cooking
process until the meat is adequately cooked.
