Tips on making delicious rice
Select high quality rice and store it in a
cool location.
Choose freshly polished, glossy rice with a
uniform grain size. Store rice in a cool, dark, well-
ventilated place.
Carefully measure the rice with the
supplied measuring cup.
1 cup (level lling) is
approximately 0.18 L. Use the
supplied measuring cup for
rinse-free rice as well.
Rinse the rice quickly.
Pour rice in the inner pot and add plenty of water.
Lightly stir the rice and discard the water quickly.
Use cold water and quickly rinse the rice so that
the rice does not absorb the starchy water.
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.
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 (the “Porridge”
menu is excluded). 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).
Type of rice 5.5-cup Cooker 10-cup Cooker
Brown 3 cups 5 cups
Porridge • Firm 0.5 cups 1.5 cups
Mixed 4 cups 6 cups
Sweet 3 cups 5 cups
• Do not open the lid during cooking to add other
ingredients.
• Add water prior to adding the ingredients.
Adding water after the ingredients results in the
cooked rice being too rm.
• The following cases may result in improperly
cooked or burned rice.
• When too much of seasonings such as soy
sauce, sweet cooking rice wine, etc. are
added
• When seasonings have sunk to the bottom
• When ketchup or tomato sauce is added
• When other ingredients are mixed with rice
• When adding ingredients to porridge, add
water to the rice so that the water level after the
ingredients are added is not over the top line of
the “Porridge” scale.
Add water according to the type of rice
and your personal preference.
