Spraying the inner pot with a light coating of nonstick cooking spray is a greay way to make cleanup easier
without adding flavour or calories to your meal.
When a recipe calls for salt, use kosher salt . It has no impurities or additives and dissolves easily . Y ou will need
to use about one an half more kosher salt than you would table salt .
•
If the rice cooker shuts off before the food is totally cooked, add more water and start the cooker again.
•
Stocks and broths can be used in place of water to add flavor and improve texture when cooking rice. Stocks
and broths can be found in your local supermarket . Another option is to use bouillon cubes (they come in a
wide variety of flavors). One cube and one cup of water usually makes one cup of stock.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Rice cookers cook at very high temperatures and will produce large amounts of steam. Use extreme
•
caution when opening the rice cooker during and after the cooking cycle. When removing the lid, keep
hands and face away from the rice cooker to avoid the escaping steam.
•
If a recipe calls for the sautéing of butter or oil, use extreme caution, as you would when cooking with other
hightemperature devices like a stove or oven . The inner pot will be hot, so use a longhandled plastic or
wooden spoon for stirring . DO NOT USE the short-handled rice paddle for this type of cooking.
•
It is important to remember that the cooking cycle of the rice cooker is controlled by the temperature of the
inner pot. When liquid boils off, the temperature will rise, causing the rice cooker to automatically shift into
the low temperature "Keep-Warm" mode. This is fine for making rice dishes but if a recipe calls for steaming
or making soups, where copious quantities of liquid are used, the rice cooker will not shut off until all liquid
is boiled away . Follow the recipe carefully and do not leave the rice cooker unattended as it will continue to
cook at high temperatures when making soups, stews, chillis and steaming . Monitor the cooking process.
MANUALLY TURN OFF the rice cooker when the time that the recipe stipulates has elapsed.
