3.2 Cooking Rice and Other Grains (Fig. C):
To cook rice and other grains, use the Base, Grain Insert and
Grain Cover.
• Rinse grains before cooking, unless otherwise stated on the
package.
• Place grains and water in the Base. To prevent boil-over, do not
exceed the quantities indicated in the “3.2.1 Cooking Rice and Other
Grains Chart” chart. Respect the maximum amount of grains and
water as indicated by the “MAX” line located under the Grain Cooking
logo ( ) on the inside wall of the Base (see Fig. C1).
• Never add oil, butter, or any other fat to water as it would damage
the product.
• Refer to the drawing on the Grain Insert for correct assembly. Make
sure to place the Grain Insert on the Base with the 2 small handles
side up (see Fig. C2).• Before closing the Grain Cover, make sure its
handles are perfectly aligned with the handles of the Base
(See Fig. C2 + Fig. E). Push the Grain Cover downwards to close.
• Microwave according to the times suggested in the “3.2.1 Cooking
Rice and Other Grains chart” at 900 watts maximum and for
30 minutes maximum (see Fig. C3 + Fig. G). Timing and water level
should be adjusted according to the grain type, microwave power
level settings and the desired texture.
• Let stand 5 minutes after cooking before serving.
• Remove the product carefully from your microwave oven by safely
holding its handles with both hands and using oven gloves. To open
the container, push down the handles of the Grain Cover while
holding both handles of the Base. Always push down on one side
first, then on the other side (see Fig. F).
• Fluff the grains after cooking and standing time with a
non-scratch utensil.
• For best results when cooking rice and other grains:
• Use tap water.
• If you wish to add salt before cooking, add 2 to 4 minutes to the
cooking time per teaspoon of salt, when the base is filled with 250g
of rice.
• Make sure that the grains are completely submerged in water
before cooking.
• The product is not suitable for preparing paella rice, dessert rice or
semolina.
• For grains with high starch content, we recommend cooking
smaller quantities. Never prepare less than 50g.
Adjust microwave cooking time by a few minutes according to personal taste, microwave settings and grain type.
After cooking, allow a standing time of 5 min. Pay attention not to exceed the max cooking time in the microwave of 30 min.
*For couscous stir before the 5 min. standing time.
