measuring lines inside. We have also provided a handy cup that is designed

to measure rice and water.

of cooked rice.

2. Rinse the rice with warm water to remove excess bran and starch.

3. Put rice into the cooking pot. To achieve evenly cooked rice, raw

rice should be leveled off in cooking pot.

MORE COOKING TIPS

•You may rinse the rice with warm water to remove excess bran and starch.

This will help to reduce rice browning and sticking to the bottom of your pot

after cooking, but it may also lose some nutrients in the rice.

•Remember: Place rice in your inner pot first; then add water

beforecooking.

•If you have experienced any sticking due to the type of rice you choose, try

adding a light coating of vegetable oil to the bottom of innerpot before

placing rice.

•When cooking brown or wild rice, add ¾ additional cup of water.

•As there are many different kinds of rice available, rice/water

measurement might be slightly different by using a different kind of rice.

Remember to make the adjustment to get the better results.

•The line method should be used when the rice has been pre-washed

or soaked. Do not use this method if the rice does not need to be

washed or soaked.

•Cooking time may vary depending on the room temperature,

amount of water, voltage, water temperature and rice, etc.

•The cooked rice is more tasteful if the raw rice is pre-soaked in water for

about 30 minutes before cooking.

•Stirring the cooked rice lightly with a spoon before serving and release the

excess waterin the rice.

•Cold rice can be excellent for making fried rice.

FOOD STEAMING

Steaming method is one of the easiest, most healthful and convenient methods

of cooking. It allows you to preserve more flavor, texture, vitamins and

nutrients than other cooking method do.

The cooker has a built-in program that will cook/steam, shut-off and keep warm

automatically. The water added to the cooking pot determines the

cooking/steaming time (see the chart below).

Following is a guideline that you may use for steaming a variety of foods. Use

this chart as a guide only in deciding the time needed for steaming foods. The

time can be adjusted by adding or deducting the amount of water added to the

cookingpot.

Since vegetables can only absorb a very small amount of water in the

steaming process, it is not necessary to change the amount of water for

steaming different amount of vegetables.

Keep the lid of the cooker on during the entire process of cooking or steaming.

Opening the lid while steaming may cause a loss of steam and slow down the

cooking process. If it is necessary to open the lid, you may need to add a

small amount of water to restore the cooking time.

Add additional 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water when steaming frozen foods.

Vegetable/ Water Steaming Time

2 Cups/ 1 Cup 10 Minutes

3 Cups/ 1 ½ Cups 18 Minutes

4 Cups/ 2 Cups 25 Minutes

5 Cups/ 3 Cups 34 Minutes

NOTE: Approx. 1/4 cup of water will be left in the cooking pot after steaming.
