Hints and Tips for Rice Cooking
Before cooking, place your rice in a sieve and wash thoroughly under a running
tap until the water runs clear and any excess starch is removed.
For best results, only use ordinary rice (Long Grain, Basmati, etc.) rather than
the ‘easy cook’ variety which tends to be stickier and may stick to the base of
the bowl.
The minimum amount of rice that can be cooked is four Measuring Cups (9) of
rice.
The maximum amount of rice and water should never exceed the 1.8L/10 Cup
mark on the Bowl (5) as arrowed below:
Always place the Glass Lid (3) onto the cooker during cooking, ensure that the
Steam Vent (2) is positioned away from the user.
Left: the arrow shows

of rice and water that
