Rice Cooking	EN
Measuring the ingredients - Max capacity of the bowl

•The graduated markings on the inside of the bowl are given in litres and cups, these are used for measuring the amount of water when cooking rice – Fig. 7.

•The plastic cup provided with your appliance is for measuring rice and the table states the quantity of rice required for the number of servings. 1 level measuring cup of rice weighs about 150 g.

•The table below gives a guide to cooking different kinds of rice. For best results, we recommend using ordinary rice rather than ‘easy cook’ type rice which tends to give a stickier rice and may adhere to the base. With other types of rice, such as brown or wild rice, the quantities of water need adjustment see the table below.

•To cook 1 cup of white rice (serves 2 small or 1 large portion), use 1 measuring cup of white rice and then add 1 1/2 measuring cup of water. With some types of rice it is normal for a little rice to stick on the base when cooking 1 cup of rice. To cook other quantity of white rice, refer to cooking guide below.

•The maximum quantity of water + rice should not exceed the 5,5 or 10 cup mark inside the bowl – Fig. 7. Depending of the type of rice, quantities of water may need adjustment. See the tabel below.

•Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking.
