Tips on making delicious rice
Read p.16 to 17 for preparations
beforecookingrice,andp.18 to 22
for how to cook rice.
Select high quality rice and store it in a
cool location.
Choosefreshlypolished,glossyricewitha
uniformgrainsize.Storeinacool,dark,well-
ventilated place.
Carefully measure the rice with the
supplied measuring cup.
One cup equals about
0.18 L. Use the supplied
measuring cup for rinse-
free rice as well.
Wash the rice quickly.
Stir the rice around with your hand in a generous
amountofwater,pouroutthewater,andrepeat
until the water remains clear.
When cooking germinated brown rice,
whole rice or semi-polished rice, select
the “Multigrain” menu.
Cooking rinse-free rice
• Addtherinse-freericeandwater,andthenstir
well from the bottom so that every individual
grain of rice becomes immersed in the water.
(Merely adding water to the rice will prevent
it from soaking in the water and may result in
improperly cooked rice.
• Iftheaddedwaterturnswhite,werecommend
you wash the rice thoroughly by replacing the
water once or twice. (The water turning white
is due to the starch in the rice and not its bran;
however,cookingitwiththestarchleftinthe
watermayresultinburnedrice,thecontents
boilingover,orimproperlycookedrice.)
Adding other ingredients to the rice
The total amount of ingredients should be no
more than 2.5 oz (70 g) per cup of rice. Stir in any
seasoning well and then add the extra ingredients on
top of the rice. If other ingredients are to be added to
therice,besuretousenomorethantheacceptable
maximum amount (refer to the table below).
