TIPS FOR COOKING RICE
Wash the rice is always shortly before cooking. Thus, a possibly occurring bran taste
can be eliminated. Use only cold water for washing. If you rinse the rice before
cooking in a kitchen strainer under cold running water, then the rice takes on only
a little water. The rice is sufficiently purged when the draining water runs clear and
no milky turbidity.
The amount of water required depends on the type of rice used. The informations in
the table below are approximate:
Rice Type*
Amount of water relative to the level mark in the pot use
Wild rice, brown rice
Fill a little over the level mark; soak before cooking
Polished rice
Fill approximately ¼ below the level mark, do not soak before cooking
Parboiled rice
Fill up to the level mark, do not soak before cooking
* The rice type is usually indicated on the packaging.
• Very resistant rice varieties - especially wild rice - should be soaked before coo-
king ½ to 1 hour in the cooking water. After cooking, the rice should be com-
pletely white and cloudy.
• Stir the rice directly after the end of the cooking time well, so that excess water
can evaporate.
• For keeping warm accumulate the excess rice is in the middle of the inner pot.
• Never leave the cooking utensils in the rice. Otherwise, the taste may be
impaired.
