water. Use low-fat, low-sodium meat or vegetable stocks/broths. Fish stock or clam broth may be used for seafood-flavoured rice.

•When making rice, open the rice cooker as soon as the audible tone sounds to indicate cooking cycle is complete. Stir rice with the rice paddle or a wooden spoon – this prevents rice from hardening or getting sticky.

•For combination dishes of rice, steamed vegetables, seafood, poultry and/or meats, use our recipes as a guide and then create your own.

•The best time to add vegetables to rice is just after the Rice Plus finishes cooking and enters the Keep Warm mode. Stir in chopped raw vegetables, such as green onions, slivered snow peas, shredded carrots, or even grape tomatoes to add texture to the dish – they will warm up while the rice is resting, and if served within 5 to 10 minutes, will retain their unique textures.

•When you don’t have time to monitor or constantly stir dishes like Risotto and Oatmeal, use your Rice Plus. Just select the specific program and walk away. The unit will go to Keep Warm when food is finished cooking.

•If your recipe calls for salt, add it after adding liquid, and swirl with the rice paddle or a wooden spoon to evenly distribute it– then level off the rice as evenly as possible.

quick cook

•The Quick Cook function can be used as a sauté function when used in combination with the Slow Cook or Soup function. Use the Quick Cook function as a stovetop burner to sauté and brown meats, as well as vegetables and grains, before selecting the appropriate program to finish cooking a dish.

•You can also use the Quick Cook function to prepare commercially packaged pilafs, rice and grain mixes. If directed to saute ingredients, select Quick Cook, add specified amount of butter or oil, rice, vegetables, and meat and sauté according to package instructions. Then add liquid, close the lid, and select appropriate cooking function to perfectly finish the job.

keep warm

•The Keep Warm function is a great way to keep already heated foods warm for serving. It is not meant as a cooking function. Raw meats or foods under the temperature of 60°C should not be cooked using this function.

soup/Slow Cooking

•When using the Soup or Slow Cook function, the cooking pot should not be filled more than ¾ full.

•Any meats should be browned first before slow cooking.

Steaming

•When steaming vegetables, clean them and trim to a consistent size so they cook evenly.

•When steaming meats such as poultry or sausage, cut into small, consistently sized pieces (such as “finger strips” or 1 centimetre slices) and arrange in a single layer in the Steaming Basket.

Oatmeal

•Oatmeal should always be well stirred before serving.

finish time

•Some foods taste best when served just after they finish cooking. If you would like rice or other foods to be freshly cooked later in the day, decide on the time you’d like to eat, and program the desired Finish Time.

•If using perishable fresh ingredients, do not use the Finish Time feature.

•The following are approximate cooking times:

•White rice – 45 minutes

•Brown rice – 1 hour 50 minutes

•Quick rice – 30 minutes

•Soft – 55 minutes

•Hard – 30 minutes

•Risotto – 1 hour

•Oatmeal – 50 minutes

•Sushi – 40 minutes

•Reheat – 35 minutes
