COOKING TIPS
6
HELPFUL HINTS
• Before cooking rinse rice thoroughly to remove ex-
cess bran and starch. This will help reduce browning and sticking to the bottom of the pot, but it may
also reduce nutrients in the rice.
• If you have experienced any sticking due to the type
of rice you are cooking, try adding a light coating of
vegetable oil to the bottom of the inner pot before
adding rice.
• Raisins and dried fruits will absorb as much water
as rice, so put them into the measuring cup together with the rice.
NOTE
Use one cup of water for
each cup of rice.
When cooking brown or
wild rice, add an additional
3/4 cup water.
This is only a general
measuring guide. As there
are many dierent kinds
of rice avail ab le, rice/water
measurements may vary
slightly.
