- Rice is too dry/hard after cooking.
If your rice is dry or hard/chewy when the cooker
switches to Warm, additional water and cooking time
will soften the rice. Depending on how dry your rice
is, add % to 1 cup of water and stir thoroughly. Place
on the lid and press the cook switch down. When the
cooker switches to Warm mode, remove the lid and stir
the rice to check the consistency. Repeat as necessary
until rice is soft and moist.
- Rice is too moist/soggy after cooking.
If your rice is still too moist or soggy when the cooker
switches to Warm, use the serving spatula to stir the
rice. This will redistribute the bottom (moist) part of
the rice as well as release excess moisture. Place on
the lid and allow to remain on Warm mode for 10-30
minutes as needed, removing the lid and stirring
periodically to release excess moisture.
