Tips for cooking rice
1.For fluffier rice, add a little extra water, for firmer rice reduce the amount of water. By adding too much water, excess may overflow during cooking. It is recommended to follow the charts on page 8, and then adjust to your liking when the cooking cycle has finished.
2.Brown rice and Arborio rice need more liquid to cook, which results in the build up of starchy bubbles foaming around the lid. This can cause spitting from the air vent. By washing the rice thoroughly this can be reduced.
