Helpful Hints

•Spraying the inner pot with a light coating of nonstick cooking spray is a great way to make cleanup easier without adding flavor or calories to your meal.

•When a recipe calls for salt, use kosher salt. It has no impurities or additives and dissolves easily. You will need to use about half again more kosher salt than you would table salt.

•If the rice cooker shuts off before the food is totally cooked, add more water and start the cooker again.

•Stocks and broths can be used in place of water to add flavor and improve texture when cooking rice. Stocks and broths can be found in your local supermarket. Another option is to use bouillon cubes (they come in a wide variety of flavors). One cube and one cup of water usually makes one cup of stock.

Safety Considerations:

1) Rice cookers cook at very high temperatures and will produce large amounts of steam. Use extreme caution when opening rice cooker during and after the cooking cycle. When lifting the hinged cover, keep hands and face away from the rice cooker to avoid the steam.

2) If a recipe calls for the sauteing of butter or oil, use extreme caution, as you would when cooking with other high-temperature devices like a stove or oven. The inner pot will be hot, so use a long- handled plastic or wooden spoon for stirring. DO NOT USE the short- handled rice paddle for this type of cooking.

3) It is important to remember that the cooking cycle of the rice cooker is controlled by the temperature of the inner pot. When liquid boils off, the temperature will rise, causing the rice cooker to automatically shift into the low temperature ‘keep warm’ mode. This is fine for making rice dishes but if a recipe calls for steaming or making soups, where copious quantities of liquid are used, the rice cooker will not shut off until all liquid is boiled away. Follow the recipes carefully and do not leave the rice cooker unattended as it will continue to cook at high temperatures when making soups, stews and steaming.

Monitor the cooking process and MANUALLY TURN OFF the rice cooker when the time that the recipe stipulates has elapsed.
