Breville recommends safety first

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

We at Breville are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with the safety of you, our valued customer foremost in mind. In addition we ask that you exercise a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions:

CAREFULLY READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING AND SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

• Remove any packaging material and promotional

labels before using the Rice Cooker for the first time.

• Do not place the Rice Cooker near the edge of a

bench or table during operation.

• Ensure the surface is level, clean and free of water.

• Do not place the Rice Cooker on or near hot gas or

electric burner, where it could touch a heated oven. Place appliance at least 8 inches (20cm) away from walls or curtains.

• Do not use on metal surfaces, for example, a sink

drain board.

• Use only the removable cooking bowl supplied with

the Rice Cooker. Do not use a damaged or dented removable cooking bowl. Replace before using.

• Never plug in or switch on the Rice Cooker without

having the removable cooking bowl placed inside the outer housing.

• Do not put liquid into the outer housing. Only

the removable cooking bowl is designed to contain liquid.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles.

• Open the lid carefully to avoid scalding from

escaping steam.

• Always ensure the power is switched off at the

power outlet and the cord is unplugged from the power outlet before attempting to move the appliance, when not in use and before cleaning or storing. Allow all parts to cool before disassembling for cleaning.

• To prevent electrical hazards, do not immerse

the outer housing, cord or plug in water or any other liquid.

• Do not move the Rice Cooker during cooking.

• Do not leave the Rice Cooker unattended when

in use.

• Keep the appliance clean. Follow the cleaning

instructions provided in this book

How to cook rice

1. Use the Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker measuring cup provided to measure the required quantity of rice (refer to cooking tables – page 8). Always measure level cups, not heaped (Fig 1.)

Fig 1

2. Place the rice into a separated bowl and wash with cold water to remove any excess starch. The rice is ready for cooking when water runs clear from the rice.

3. Ensure the exterior of the removable cooking bowl is clean before placing it in the Stainless Steel Housing (this will ensure proper contact with the inner cooking surface).

4. Add the washed rice to the removable cooking bowl, ensuring rice is spread evenly across the bottom of the bowl and hot heaped to one side (Fig 2).

Fig 2

5 Add water using the following ratios:

White Rice = 1 cup water: 1 cup rice

Brown Rice= 1

⁄4cups water: 1 cup rice

6. Place the glass lid into position.

7. Plug into a 110/120 volt power outlet and then switch the power on at the power outlet. The amber ‘Keep Warm’ light will illuminate.

8. To commence cooking, press the Selector Control to ‘Cook’. The red ‘Cook’ light will illuminate.

9. When cooking is complete, the Ready Bell will sound and the Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker will automatically switch to the ‘Keep Warm’ setting. The amber ‘Keep Warm’ light will illuminate.

10. Open the lid and turn the rice over with the serving spoon provided. Replace the lid and allow the rice to stand for 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows any excess moisture to be absorbed, resulting in a fluffier rice texture.

Rice Cooking Tables

Steaming foods

Tips

• Add a little extra water for fluffier rice and a little

less water for firmer rice.

• Some rice varieties may require more water for

cooking, such as wild rice blends, Arborio rice or short grain rice. Follow the directions on the packet or use the brown rice cooking table.

Rice variations

Savory Rice

Prepare the rice in the Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker as specified, substituting all the water with the same quantity of chicken, beef, fish, or vegetable stock. Apple juice, orange juice or pineapple juice may be substituted for half of the water quantity.

Sweet Rice

Prepare the rice in the Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker as specified, substituting half the water with apple juice, orange juice or pineapple juice. Cooking rice with milk or cream is not recommended as it will burn onto the bottom of the removable cooking bowl.

Saffron Rice

Add 1⁄4teaspoon of saffron powder or 2 saffron threads to every 2 cups of water. Use the white rice cooking tables. Mix well.

Arborio Rice

Arborio rice is short round-grained pearly rice often used for Italian risotto cooking. Use the brown rice cooking tables.

Jasmine Rice

Jasmine rice is fragrant long grain rice. Use the white rice cooking tables.

Wild Rice

It is not recommended to cook wild rice alone in the Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker as it requires a substantial amount of water. It is possible to cook wild rice as a blend with white or brown rice.

Steamed foods retain most of their nutritional value when cooked in the Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker. Foods may be steamed by placing food in the stainless steel steaming trays cover stock or water and covering with the glass lid. Keep the glass lid on while steaming food unless the recipe or chart specifically states to remove the lid. By removing the lid unnecessarily, steam is lost and the cooking time will be extended.

1. Measure 2 Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker cups or more of water or stock to the removable cooking bowl. Use up to a maximum of 6 Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker cups of water.

2. Place food to be steamed directly onto the stainless steel steaming tray and insert into the removable cooking bowl. (Refer to the Steaming Charts on pages 11-13 for approximate cooking times).

3. Place removable cooking bowl with the steaming tray into Stainless Steel Housing and cover with the glass lid.

4. Plug into 110/120 volt power outlet and then switch on. The amber ‘Keep Warm’ light will illuminate.

5. Push the Selector Control down to begin cooking. The red ‘Cook’ light will illuminate.

6. When steaming is complete, remove foods from the Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker. If further steaming is required ensure sufficient water is in the removable cooking bowl. If not, add more hot water or stock.

7. If no further steaming is required, turn the Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker off at the power outlet and then unplug. Allow to cool before cleaning. When the cooking bowl is removed to discard water, the Selector Control will reset to the ‘Keep Warm’ position.

Do not let the removable cooking bowl boil dry during steaming.

Note

Hot liquid can be added during the steaming process.

Note

Both steaming trays can be stacked or used separately

Note

Hints and tips for steaming vegetables
