•The measuring cup included is not an exact cup. Chart refers to cups of rice/water based on the measuring cup provided.
•This is only a general measuring guide. As there are many different kinds of rice available (see About Rice on page 3), rice/water measurement may vary slightly.
*Max 6 cups of uncooked rice
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 the rice.
2.If you have experienced any sticking due to the type of rice you are cooking, try adding a light coating of vegetable oil to the bottom of the inner pot before adding rice.
