• Try using broth, stock or reconstituted bouillon in place of water for
additional flavor . If you do, no additional salt may be necessary .
• Do not keep small amounts of rice in the warm cycle for extended periods
of time because it can dry out the rice .
• During cooking, a thin crust may develop on the rice at the bottom of the bowl .
If you do not like rice with a crust, you can easily peel it off and discard it .
• Taste/firmness will vary depending on the quality/type of rice used and
length of time it is cooked . For softer, fluffier rice, add a little more water .
For firmer rice, use less water .
• For other types of grains not listed in the cooking chart, follow package
directions .
ADDITIONAL USES FOR YOUR RICE COOKER
Packaged foods: condensed and ready to serve soups, pastas, and stews
• Do not fill bowl above the highest water marking cup level on the
cooking bowl .
• For even heating, stir occasionally .
• Always use a kitchen timer . Do not rely on the control switch on the cooker
since it is not intended to be an indicator of cooking time for soups and stews .
• Use only boneless meats and poultry that are cut into cubes no larger than 1½
inches . It is not necessary to brown the meats before cooking .
• When cooking rice or pasta in the soup, add additional liquid in the recipe .
• Since most frozen vegetables cook very quickly, it is best to add them at the
end of the cooking time . Stir them into the soup or stew and allow the mixture
to cook an additional 5 to 10 minutes .
• Choose recipes that will cook in 1 hour or less .
• To make pasta, add 6–7 cups of water to the cooking bowl and bring it to a
boil on the cook setting . Add up to ½ lb . of pasta, stir and cover . Cook until
noodles have reached desired consistency and drain .
Oatmeal or Hot Cereals
• Steel Cut Oats work best .
• Do not fill bowl more than half way with liquids, as the oatmeal will
expand during the cooking process .
• For even heating, stir occasionally .
• When the oatmeal is done, the rice cooker will switch to warm . Please note
that this is for well-done oatmeal . If you prefer a different consistency,
monitor the cooking process to manually switch to warm for desired
results .
• Choose recipes that will cook in 1 hour or less .
