Tips on making delicious rice
Select quality rice and a good storage
location.
• Choose freshly polished, glossy rice with a
uniform grain size.
• Store rice in a cool, dark and well ventilated
place.
Carefully measure the rice using the
supplied measuring cup.
1cup(levellling)is
approximately 0.18 L.
Use the supplied
measuring cup for
rinse-free rice as well.
Rinse the rice quickly.
Pour rice in the inner pot and add plenty of water.
Lightly stir the rice and discard the water quickly.
Use cold water and quickly rinse the rice by hand
so that the rice does not absorb the starchy water.
Cooking rinse-free rice
• Add rinse-free rice and water, and then stir well
from the bottom so that every individual grain
of rice becomes immersed in the water. Merely
adding water to the rice prevents it from soaking
in the water and may cause improperly cooked
rice.
• If the added water turns white, it is recommend
to rinse the rice thoroughly by replacing the
water once or twice. The water turning white
is due to starch in the rice and not its bran.
Cooking the rice with the starch left in the water
may lead to burned rice, the contents boiling
over or improperly cooked rice.
Adding other ingredients to rice
The total amount of ingredients should be no
more than 2.5 oz (approx. 70 g) per cup of
rice. Mix seasonings well and then add other
ingredients on top of the rice. If other ingredients
are to be added to the rice, be sure to use no
more than the acceptable maximum amount (see
the table below).
Menu 5.5-cup Cooker 10-cup Cooker
Mixed 3 cups 6 cups
Sweet 3 cups 5 cups
Brown 3 cups 5 cups
• Do not open the lid during cooking to add other
ingredients.
• Add water prior to adding the ingredients.
Adding water after the ingredients may result in
thecookedricebeingtoorm.
• The following cases may result in improperly
cooked or burned rice.
• Adding too much of seasonings such as soy
sauce, sweet cooking rice wine, etc.
• Seasonings settle at the bottom
• Ketchup or tomato sauce is added
• Other ingredients are mixed with rice
• When adding ingredients to porridge, add
water to the rice so that the water level after the
ingredients are added is not over the top line for
porridge.
Add water according to the type of rice
and your personal preference.
Amount of water to add
If adding more or less water than the
recommended amount, do not deviate from that
amount by any more than 1/3 of one line. Doing
so may cause the contents to boil over.
