HELPFUL HINTS

2. If you have experienced any sticking with the type of rice you are using, try adding a light coating of vegetable oil or non-stick spray to the bottom of the inner pot before adding rice.

3. As there are many different kinds of rice available (see About Rice on page 11), rice/water measurements may vary slightly.

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