1 Only measure rice with the enclosed measuring cup. See “Helpful

Hints” section for comments on rinsing rice.

2 Place rice in the pot and add water to the measuring mark in the pot

that coincides with the number of rice cups added. As an example, for 10 cups of uncooked rice (yields 20 cups of cooked rice), add 10 full scoops of rice to the pot. Add water to the 10 cup line on the inside of the pot. Always add the rice to the pot BEFORE adding the water to the pot. The water level marked on the inner pot is based upon having rice added already. Follow the above example for smaller quantities, i.e. 5 cups of rice added to the Pot, then water to the 5 cup line.
