Using Your Rice Cooker
to Cook Rice
1
Only measure rice with the enclosed Measuring Cup. For best results
rinse measured rice until the water becomes relatively clear (see
the "Helpful Hints" section on the next page for details).
2
Place rinsed rice in the Cooking Pot. For 1.5 cups of uncooked rice
(yields 3 cups of cooked rice), measure 1.5 full scoops of rice using the
Measuring Cup included with your unit. Add to the Cooking Pot.
3
Add water to the 1.5 cup line marked RAW on the inside of the
Cooking Pot. Always add the rice to the Cooking Pot BEFORE adding
the water to the Cooking Pot. The water level marked on the inside of
the Cooking Pot is based upon having rice added already.
4
Place the Cooking Pot in the Cool-Touch Housing.
5
Place the Lid on the Cool-Touch Housing and lock into place.
6
Plug in and immediately press the switch down to COOK. The Cook
Indicator Light will illuminate to indicate the rice is cooking.
7
The rice cooker will automatically switch to WARM when the cooking
process has completed. The Warm Indicator Light will illuminate to
indicate the appliance is in keep warm mode. The WARM function will
continue until the unit is unplugged.
8
Open the rice cooker by unlocking both Locking Tabs on the Lid. Be
sure to open the Lid facing away from you to avoid any hot steam.
9
Remove and clean the Cooking Pot after every use (see Care &
Cleaning section of this manual).

Helpful Hints
•
Using the WARM function for more than 5 hours may cause
discoloration or an odor in the rice.
•
You can adjust the amount of water and/or rice to your own taste
preferences.
Washing Rice
When rice is milled, some bran and residues adhere to the surface of the
rice. You can remove these residues by first washing the rice with water
before cooking. This will remove excess starch and residues, which will
provide you with much whiter, fluffier rice.
Remember to always use the Measuring Cup provided to accurately
measure the rice. Add the desired amount of rice to the Cooking Pot. Fill
with cold water until all of the rice is submerged. Wash the rice by simply
stirring the rice around in the water and rubbing between your hands.
You will notice that the color of the water will become cloudy as the rice
is cleaned. Without spilling the rice, tip the Cooking Pot to remove the
cloudy water and repeat several times until the water remains clear.
Cooking other types of rice
Your Wolfgang Puck 1.5 Cup Portable Rice Cooker can handle a wide
variety or rice such as long grain rice, wild rice, yellow rice, brown rice,
basmati rice etc. When cooking brown rice, it will be necessary to
increase the amount of water by 1/2 cup more than the standard short
grain white rice recipe. Adjust to suit your own personal taste.
A note about the measuring cup provided with your rice cooker
Your rice cooker is able to cook a maximum of 1.5 cups of raw rice,
which is the equivalent of 3 cups of cooked rice. The Measuring Cup
included with your rice cooker, like most traditional rice cookers on the
market, is equivalent to 6 ounces, or approx. 3/4 of a cup. This is why it
is important to use the Measuring Cup that comes with your rice cooker
and not a standard 8-ounce cup measure.
