HELPFUL HINTS:

1. Rinse rice to remove excess bran and starch. This will help reduce browning and sticking to the bottom of the pot, but it may also reduce nutrients in rice.

2. If you have experienced any sticking due to the type of rice you are using, try adding a light coating of vegetable oil to the bottom of the inner pot before adding rice.

3. For softer rice, allow rice to soak for 10-20 minutes prior to cooking.
