Tips for cooking rice
Results may vary depending on the type of rice used.
1.For fluffier rice, add a little extra water and for firmer rice, add a little less water.
2.Should you happen to add too much extra water, the excess water may overflow during cooking. It is a good idea to cook the rice with the recommended quantity of water first and then if the rice is still firm, add a little extra water which can be stirred through at the end. You will then need
to depress the automatic lever to “COOK” mode.
3.The rice cup provided is not a standard metric measuring cup.
Sunbeam rice cup = 150g uncooked rice = 180ml water
If you lose the rice measuring cup provided use the ratio:
1 cup uncooked white rice = 1 cup water
1 cup uncooked brown rice = 1 ½ cups water
Cooking times will vary if using a larger measuring cup.
4.Wash rice thoroughly until the water runs clear.
5.Brown rice needs more water to cook, which results in a build up of starchy water and bubbles forming around the lid, which can cause spitting from the air vent. Make sure the brown rice is rinsed well before cooking.
