HOW TO USE THE RICE COOKER FUNCTIONS

Bamboo is designed to cook rice using 7 distinct phases to produce perfect rice every time and to carefully retain
nutrients. The phased cooking and adjustments in induction temperature are controlled using Bamboo's IH Umai
fuzzy logic processor which also enables more refined cooking of rice in the GABA brown and Yumami settings.
OPTIONS FOR COOKING RICE:
1. 'WHITE' setting is for cooking long grain white rice (for example, basmati, jasmine or Thai fragrant rice)
2. 'QUICK COOK' setting (for white rice only) for when you want the rice completed a little faster.
3. 'BROWN' setting is for cooking long or short grain brown rice
4. 'SHORT GRAIN' setting is for any type of white short grain rice like pearl or sushi rice and Thai sticky rice
(see table on next page for water level guide for sticky rice).
5. 'GABA' setting soaks and 'activates' any type of brown rice to release the gamma-aminobutyric acid, or
GABA in the brown rice. Also known as 'hatsuga genmai', it is thought to have many health benefits (see
section 3.8, page 12 for further information)
6. 'YUMAMI' setting is for any type of white rice. This is a specific cooking cycle with different temperatures,
it releases sugars contained in the rice and this phased rice cooking is said to make the rice tasted
sweeter and 'moreish', hence the name 'Yumami'. (see section 3.8, page 12)
