TYPES OF RICE
(Cont.)
White Rice - Includes several kinds of white rice, most of which can be
prepared in your 10 Cup Cool Touch Rice Cooker.
Long-Grain Rice - Less starchy than short-grain rice, so it separates
into individual grains more than short-grain rice.
Short-Grain Rice - More moist and tender than long-grain rice. It has
a softer texture and starchier flavor.
White rice will take about 20-25 minutes to cook, (brown rice approxi-
mately 50 minutes). When rice is done, the Selector Lever will rise and
the 10 Cup Cool Touch Rice Cooker will automatically go into the
WARM Mode. Allow rice to stand on WARM for 10 to 15 minutes to
ensure fluffy rice. You can keep cooked rice on the WARM setting for
several hours without the taste of the rice being affected. Do not remove
Cover until ready to serve. The Cooking Pot remains very hot
after cooking or keeping warm. Use a pot holder when
handling.
WHY RICE?
Grains (including rice) are finally getting the attention they deserve as
they move into the nutritional spotlight. The new USDA dietary recom-
mendations highlight grains as an essential part of a healthy, whole
foods diet. With their impressive fiber, complex carbohydrates and pro-
tein profiles, they are, without a doubt, some of Mother Nature's most
perfect foods.
Grains are the edible portion of cereal plants. The grain or kernel is
technically a complete fruit and houses most of its nutritional value. In
addition to their high fiber content, grains are an excellent source of
B vitamins and many minerals, including magnesium, iron, zinc,
potassium and selenium. The germ oils found in the germ layers of
whole grains contain vitamin E, an important antioxidant.
GRAIN GLOSSARY
Rice is a staple food in many countries. Although long-grain rice is
consumed more than any other rice around the world, it is inferior to
brown rice in both taste and nutrition. Brown rice is not only more
complete nutritionally, it has a wonderful nutty aroma and flavor.
