COOKING GUIDE

HELPFUL HINTS

1. Rinse rice before placing it into the inner pot to remove excess bran and starch. This will help reduce browning and sticking to the bottom of the pot.

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. This is only a general measuring guide. As there are many different kinds of rice available (see About Rice on page 13), rice/water measurements may vary slightly.

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