Preparing White Rice When measuring rice, ONLY USE THE RICE MEASURE CUP PROVIDED; DO NOT USE A STANDARD MEASURING CUP. Use the Rice Measure Cup, along with the pot markings to make perfect rice every time. For example, when making 6 cups rice, use 6 rice cup measures of rice and fill with water to the “6” mark. When pressure cooking rice, do not go past the 6-cup “RC” marking, as indicated on the inside of the removable cooking pot. The combined volume of rice and water must not exceed the 6-cup marking as shown under “RC” markings on the inside of the removable cooking pot. If you desire a greater volume of rice, follow the

Cooking Pot

Markings

When pressure cooking is complete, the pressure cooker will automatically switch to Keep Warm. The WARM indicator light will illuminate. To manually switch to Keep Warm and/or cancel any cooking process, press the Keep Warm/Cancel button. The maximum Keep Warm time is 4 hours.

Inside the removable cooking pot are two sets of markings. One side is marked “2/3 MAX PC”, which indicates the maximum fill line when cooking any food, other than rice in the pressure cooker. The other side has markings for cooking rice. When pressure cooking rice, never fill the pressure cooker more then 1/2 full. To cook rice greater then 1/2 full, utilize the glass lid and not the pressure cooking lid.

recommended water-to-rice ratio and use the glass lid, select Rice, and cook for 30- 40 minutes. Check for doneness after 30 minutes. Do not use the rice cooker timer as the timer is only applicable when cooking under pressure. Since you are using the glass lid and not the pressure lid, you must use a separate timer.

As a general rule, when cooking 2 cups (or below) of uncooked rice, use 1 tablespoon of butter or oil. For measurements greater than 2 cups, use 2 tablespoons of butter or oil. This will prevent foaming during the cooking process.
