Operating Your Breville Risotto & Rice™
NOTE
When adding extra ingredients to risotto that require cooking e.g.; chicken, seafood or vegetables. These can be added towards the end of cooking time before the liquid in risotto has fully absorbed and risotto is still quite runny in texture. Stir ingredients into risotto, cover with lid and continue cooking until risotto switches to WARM setting. Check for doneness and if not quite cooked switch back to RISOTTO setting to cook a little more.
NOTE
When risotto maker has switched to the WARM setting and rice is still a little firm and under cooked and if there is still some unabsorbed liquid in the cooking bowl, cover with lid and leave on the WARM setting for 5 to 10 minutes to finish cooking.
NOTE
When risotto maker has switched to the WARM setting and rice is still a little firm and under cooked, and most of liquid has been absorbed, add a little extra stock or water, stir well, cover with lid and leave on the WARM setting for 5 to 10 minutes or until extra liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
TIP
For optimum risotto results, we recommend you stir once after
How to Make RiCE
RICE Setting
1.Use the Risotto & Rice™ measuring cup provided to measure the required quantity of rice (refer to cooking tables - page 15). Always measure level cups, not heaped (Fig 1).
Fig. 1
NOTE
1 level Rice cup =
150 grams uncooked rice
1 level Rice cup uncooked rice =
2 Rice cups cooked rice (approx.)
The maximum quantity of uncooked white rice to be cooked =
10 Rice cups
The minimum quantity of uncooked white rice to be cooked =
2 Rice cups
2.Place measured rice into a separate bowl and wash with cold water to remove any excess starch. The rice is ready for cooking when water runs clear from the rice. Drain well.
3.Ensure the exterior of the removable cooking bowl is clean before placing it in the housing (this will ensure proper contact with the inner cooking surface) (Fig 2).
