Cooking Rice
White rice (Basmati, Long Grain) takes 3 minutes to cook and uses the fully absorption method. The rice will be
slightly sticker than rice cooked on the stove top. Use the marking on the pot as a guide i.e 2, 4, 6 cups. Fill the
water in the pot FIRST to the level required and then add the corresponding cup of rice.

Set the time to 3 minutes and use the NATURAL PRESSURE RELEASE METHOD. During this time the rice will
absorb the steam and will be dry not wet. Cooking wholegrain/brown rice is very different. It needs to be cooked
in lots of water and then drained. Only cook a maximum of 2 CUPS grain/brown rice in 6.5 cups of water.
Rice type Cooking time
Aborio/ Paella Sauté rice in butter/oil until opaque. Add liquid. Cook for 6-8 minutes. Use the
Quick Release.
Brown Rice Cook under pressure for 10 minutes. Use Natural Pressure Release for at least 10
minutes then quick release.
Wild Rice Cook under pressure for 20 minutes. Use Natural Pressure Release for at least 10
minutes then quick release.
Cooking Vegetables
When steaming vegetables, chop them up into even size pieces so they cook evenly. Remember most vegetables
take a few minutes to cook. Add boiling water to the pot this will bring the unit up to pressure much quicker.
Always use the quick steam release to avoid overcooking.
