• Stir prepackaged, boxed rice mixes at least once during cooking; otherwise,
spices may stick to the bottom of the cooking pot. For best results, unplug unit
when finished cooking this type of rice. Do not “keep warm.”
• Rinsing rice will sometimes increase bubbling during cooking. When cooking a half
pot or less of rice, minimize bubbling/overflow by reducing water by about one-third.
• Allowing rice to “rest” for approximately 5–10 minutes after cooking will yield
better-textured rice.
• Give rice a flavor boost by substituting an equal amount chicken/beef/vegetable
broth for water.
• Note that the cook times listed here are approximate and for reference only. You
do not need to enter cooking times when using the WHITE RICE or WHOLE GRAIN
functions since the unit knows when the food is finished and will adjust cooking
time accordingly.
