    What to do if Instant Rice Cooker rice is undercooked?
    • M
      Morgan FosterAug 15, 2025
      If your rice or grain is chewy, too hard, or undercooked when using the Instant Rice Cooker, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure you're not opening the lid too early. After cooking completes, open the cooker and quickly fluff the rice or grains, then close the lid and let the cooker sit for an additional 5-10 minutes. It may also be caused by not enough water or liquid. Add ½ to 1 cup water, mix, and run the cooking program again. Finally, the rice or grain may require a longer cooking time, try running the cooking program a second time.

      If the display of your Instant Rice Cooker remains blank after connecting the power cord, the issue might stem from a bad power connection or lack of power. Inspect the power cord for any signs of damage, and if damaged, do not use it. Check the outlet to ensure it is receiving power. If these steps don't resolve the issue, it's possible that the cooker’s electrical fuse has blown, in that case contact Customer Care.

    Why is my rice too soft in my Instant ZEST PLUS?
    • B
      bakertiffanyAug 25, 2025
      If your Instant Rice Cooker yields rice or grain that is too soft or overcooked, it might be due to too much water or liquid. Stir the rice or grain to redistribute the cooking liquid. Then, close the lid and activate the Keep Warm setting for 10-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Alternatively, overcooking can occur if the rice or grain was cooked for too long, so refer to your recipe instructions for precise cooking times.
