HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
RICE TIPS
• If rice or other foods start to boil over, remove the lid and stir for a couple
minutes . Leaving the lid off for a short period of time will allow some of
the liquids to boil off and for the mixture to slightly cool . Place the lid
back on the rice cooker and repeat if needed .
• To reduce foaming, add a small amount of butter or oil to the water
before cooking .
• Kosher salt has no impurities and dissolves faster than table salt . If using
kosher salt, you may find you want to add a little more than if using table
salt . About
¾
tsp . of kosher salt is recommended for each rice cup (5 fluid
oz .) of uncooked rice .
• White rice can be stored in an airtight container in a cool dark place for
up to one year .
