COOKING RICE
You'll have excellent results using this guideline. For your convenience, the inner pot features water
measurement lines inside. We have also provided a handy cup that is designed to measure rice and water.
1.
Using the measuring cup provided in the package, measure and add rice to the inner pot. One full-level
measure equals one cup.
2.
You may add water to the rice for cooking by the waterline inside the pot. (See measurement chart)
Example: for 4 cups of uncooked rice, add water to line 4.
3.
For softer rice, we suggest preparing rice and water in the inner pot and let it soak for 10-20 minutes
before cooking.
4.
Place the lid on cooker and plug in power cord. Press the on/off switch to "I" position and press the
cooking switch down. When your rice is cooked the cooker will automatically switch to the Warm
function.
5.
After cooking it is important to allow rice to stand, for 6-10 minutes without removing lid. This will ensure
that rice is cooked through.
6.
Brown rice will take longer to cook. We suggest adding an additional 3/4-cup of water to accommodate
the proper cooking time.

HELPFUL HINTS
1.
You may rinse rice 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.
2.
Remember: Place rice to your inner pot first and then add water before cooking.
3.
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 inner pot before placing rice.
4.
When cooking brown or wild rice, add 3/4 additional cup of water.
5.
As there are many different kinds of rice available, rice/water measurement might be slightly different by
using different kind of rice. Remember to make the adjustment to get a better result.
SOUPS AND STEWS
A hearty bowl of soup or stew is always welcome at any table. Be creative and use various leftover meats and
vegetables with your favorite stock and create your own unique recipes. When preparing soup or stew, try to
allow extra time for it to "simmer". This will allow flavors to blend and meat to be tender.
