Is the taste catcher mounted correctly?
Is rice attached to the pan seal ring of the inner lid and along the pan, or is the pan
deformed?
Due to the different varieties of rice, soft rice and glutinous rice might easily stick the
pan.
Is bran remained?
 Rice paper-like film is a result of the dry starch dissolution, and it is harmless; the
rice which is not washed cleanly is likely to generate such a thin film.
Did you make the surface of rice smooth before cooking?
The powerful firepower of IH (induction heating) caused this. This is not an anomaly.
Under the following circumstances, rice tends to have uneven surface.
▪ When rice has not been sufficiently washed.
▪ When a lot of broken rice is mixed in.
▪ When rice has been broken due to excessive force used to wash it.
