RICE COOKER

Measuring the ingredients - Max capacity of the bowl

The plastic cup is only used for measuring rice and not the water (except when cooking 1 cup of rice).

  • The graduated markings on the inside of the bowl are given in liters and cups, these are used for measuring the amount of water when cooking rice – fig. 7. If cooking other foods, such as pasta, follow the quantities in the recipes.
  • The plastic cup provided with your appliance is for measuring rice, refer to the table below for the quantity of rice required for the number of servings. 1 level measuring cup of rice weighs 5.5 oz.
  • The table below gives a guide to cooking white rice. For best results, we recommend using regular rice rather than instant-type rice which tends to result in a stickier rice and may adhere to the base. With other types of rice, such as brown or wild rice, the quantities of water need adjustment (see the table below).
  • To cook 1 cup of white rice (serves 2 small or 1 large portion), use 1 measuring cup of white rice and then add 1 1/2 measuring cup of water. With some types of rice it is normal for a little rice to stick on the base when cooking 1 cup of rice.
  • The maximum quantity of water + rice should not exceed the 10 cup mark inside the bowl – fig. 7.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking.

* The rice cooker will automatically determine the exact cooking time depending on the quantity of water and rice placed in the bowl.

NOTE: When using Arborio risotto rice for rice pudding or dessert puddings follow the proportions in the recipe book as more water is needed. When cooking rice pudding, use Arborio risotto rice, as it cooks quicker and gives better results. Follow the instructions in the recipes. Take care when cooking rice in milk as it can froth up and boil up through the lid.

To cook rice

The cooking times given in the tables and recipes are only approximate and for your guidance.

  • Place the appliances on a flat, stable, heat-resistant work surface away from water splashes and any other sources of heat.
  • Pour the required quantity of rice into the bowl using the measuring cup provided. Then fill with cold water up to the corresponding "CUP" mark printed in the bowl (See cooking guide) – fig. 7.
  • Close the lid.

NOTE: Always add the rice first and then water otherwise you will have too much water.

  • Check that the appliance is plugged in. Briefly press the "rice cooking" key – fig. 8. The red "rice cooking" light flashes for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds the light remains steady and the cooking automatically starts.
  • After each use empty and clean the condensation collector.

The rice cooker itself determines the exact cooking time depending on the quantity of water and ingredients placed in the bowl (see cooking table for a guide to times). When the volume of water has been absorbed by the rice, the appliance stops the cooking process automatically and switches to the "Keep warm" mode (the orange "Keep warm" light comes on).

Rice cooking with delayed start

This is the only cooking mode for which programming a delayed start is possible.

  • It is possible to delay the time the rice starts cooking.
  • Select the "Rice cooking" mode. When the ingredients have been placed in the bowl and the appliance plugged in, briefly press the "Rice cooking" key – fig. 8. The red "Rice cooking" light flashes.
  • Select the cooking time. When the "rice cooking" light flashes, press the "plus" key – fig. 9 or the "minus" key – fig. 10 to select the lenght of time before cooking is completed. For instance: if it is 1 p.m, and you would like your rice to be cooked at 8 p.m, set "7H" on the time key. The "rice cooking" light remains steady.
    Rice cooking with delayed start
  • You can delay cooking for up to 9 hours maximum.

Some recommendations for best results when cooking rice

  • Measure out the rice and rinse it thoroughly under running water in a sieve (except for risotto rice such as Arborio rice which should not be rinsed). Then place the rice in the bowl together with the corresponding quantity of water.
  • Make sure that the rice is evenly distributed around the whole surface of the bowl, in order to allow even cooking.
  • Add salt if required. Allow about half a teaspoon of salt for 4 cups of rice, but you can adjust this to your personal taste. Remember your Rice Cooker uses less water than when boiling rice so take care not to add too much salt.
  • Stock may be substituted for water if desired. If using bouillon cubes, take care not to overseason.
  • Do not open the lid during cooking as steam will escape and this will affect the cooking time.
  • On completion of cooking, when the "keep warm" function is selected, stir the rice and then leave it in the rice cooker for a few minutes longer in order to get perfect rice with separate grains.

SLOW COOKING

Measuring the ingredients

  • The total quantity of ingredients (see recipes for the amounts) should not exceed the 10 CUP mark in the bowl when slow cooking.

To slow cook

  • To select the "slow cooking" mode. Place ingredients in the bowl and plug in the appliance, press the "slow cooking" key – fig. 11. When the "slow cooking" light flashes, you can press the "plus" key – fig. 9 or the "minus" key – fig. 10 to select a cooking time. If you don't select a cooking time after 5 seconds, the light stops flashing, and the corresponding indicator light remains steady; the cooking time of the appliance is automatically programmed at 60 minutes and the appliance begins cooking.
  • Select the cooking time: the appliance allows you to program between 60 minutes minimum and 9 hours maximum for the slow cooking mode. Choose the time so as to suit the chosen recipe while the red "slow cooking" light is flashing. Press repeatedly on the +/- keys to increase the cooking time. You can also press continuously in order to speed up the process. The time increases in hourly increments from 60 minutes up to 9 hours maximum.
  • When the red "slow cooking" light stops blinking the cooking process begins.

]important instructions when slow cooking dried beans and dried peas

  • If you are preparing a slow cooker recipe which contains dried beans or dried peas, for example red kidney beans or chick peas, they must be soaked in plenty of cold water overnight before cooking them. Drain and rinse them thoroughly, then place in a large saucepan and cover with fresh cold water. Bring to the boil and continue to boil rapidly for 10 minutes, uncovered, then drain before using in Slow Cooker recipes. This destroys any natural toxins in the beans or peas.
  • Pre-soaking is not necessary for lentils, but they must still be boiled rapidly for 10 minutes.
  • Canned beans can simply be drained and rinsed, and added 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time. They do not need to be boiled first.

Do not eat uncooked beans, peas or lentils.

STEAM COOKING (FOR VEGETABLES, FRUIT AND FISH)
