Some recommendations

for best results when cooking rice

• Measure out the rice and rinse it thoroughly under running water in a sieve for a long time (except for risotto rice which should not be rinsed). Then place the rice in the bowl together with the corresponding quantity of water.

• Make sure that the rice is well distributed around the whole surface of the bowl, in order to allow even cooking.

• Add salt to your personal taste if required.

• Water may be substituted to stock. If using stock, there is the risks of rice browning a bit in the bottom.

• Do not open the lid during cooking as steam will escape and this will affect the cooking time and the taste.

• On completion of cooking, when the “KEEP WARM” indicate light is on, stir the rice and then leave it in the rice cooker for a few minutes longer in order to get perfect rice with separate grains.
