If cooking brown rice, add an additional 1½ cups water, using the provided measuring cup, to
compensate for the lack of soaking time. The included measuring cup is equal to a standard ¾ US cup.
NOTE
The rice produced by the Quick Rice function will not be to the same quality as rice made using the White Rice or Brown
Rice settings, but it’s an excellent option for cooked rice in a pinch.
