HELPFUL HINTS

Cooking Perfect Rice:

For faster cooking time and softer rice, soak rice in warm water for 30 minutes prior to cooking.

After adding rice and water to the inner cooking pot, remember to stir well so rice is coated evenly with water.

After COOK mode switches to WARM mode, allow rice to warm for 20-30 minutes. This allows excess moisture to evaporate.

Stir cooked rice lightly with a spoon before serving and excess water will steam off.

Preventing Burning or Sticking:

Rinse the rice with warm water to remove excess bran and starch. This will help reduce rice browning and sticking to the bottom of your pot during cooking.

Some varieties of rice may stick to the inner pot. If you have experienced any rice sticking to the inner pot, try adding a light coating of vegetable or olive oil to the bottom of the inner pot before cooking.

Cooking Brown Rice:

Soak brown rice for one hour and a half before cooking.

When cooking brown rice, add ¼ cup for each additional cup of rice being cooked.

At maximum capacity cooking time lasts about one hour.

After COOK mode switches to WARM mode, let rice continue to warm for 20 minutes longer.

Stir to release excess moisture from cooked rice.
