Rice cooking tips
•Add a little extra water for fluffier rice and a little less water for firmer rice.
•Washed rice will have some extra water adhering after rinsing. This extra water will extend the cooking time slightly.
Reduce the measured amount of water to compensate, if required.
•Some rice varieties may require more water for cooking, such as wild rice blends, Arborio rice or short grain rice. Follow the directions on the packet or use the brown rice cooking table.
•Due to the additional water needed to cook brown rice, some starchy water bubbles may rise to the lid while cooking. For best results, wash brown rice before cooking and allow to stand on the WARM setting for 20 minutes after cooking to absorb the remaining moisture.
