NOTES
• Before placing the inner pot into the cooker, check that the inner is dry and free
of debris. Adding the inner pot when wet may damage the cooker.
•
CAKE
will run for 50 minutes before switching to
KEEP WARM
. Adjust cook
time accordingly depending on the recipe being used.
• Due to foaming/bubbling, it is not recommended to cook brown rice using
QUICK RICE
.
• Cooking times are approximate. Altitude, humidity and outside temperature will
affect cooking time.
• Opening the lid during the cooking cycle causes a loss of heat and steam.
Cooking time may be prolonged if the lid is opened before the rice is finished.
• Brown rice requires a much longer cooking cycle than other rice varieties due to
the extra bran layers on the grains.
BROWN RICE
on this cooker allows extra
time and adjusted heat settings in order to cook the rice properly. If it appears
the cooker is not heating up immediately on
BROWN RICE
, this is due to a low-
heat soak cycle that preceeds the cooking cycle to produce better brown rice
results.
• Before placing the inner pot into the cooker, check that the outside is dry and
free of debris. Adding the inner pot when wet may damage the cooker.
• Rice should not be left in the cooker on
KEEP WARM
for more than 12 hours.
• For better results, stir the rice with the serving spatula to distribute any
remaining moisture.
•
SOUP
is a programmed cook setting that operates for a minimum of 2 hours
before switching to the
KEEP WARM
setting.
• Do not attempt to cook more than
2 cups (uncooked)
of rice if steaming and
cooking rice simultaneously.
• It is possible to steam at any point during the rice cooking cycle. However, it is
recommended that you steam during the end of the cycle so that steamed food
does not grow cold or become soggy before the rice is ready.
• These steaming charts are for reference only. Actual cooking times may vary.
