Rice Cooking Function
This is a 6-30 minute program designed for cooking dishes such as long and short
grain rice. If you prefer your grain steamed instead of cooked, use a removable
steamer basket (not included).
1. Position the removable cooking pot in the Electric Pressure Cooker Plus.
2. Add at least 8 oz. of water or cooking liquid to the cooking pot.
3. Add the appropriate amount of grain to the liquid, following the grain to liquid
ratio indicated by the recipe. Do not fill the pot more than half-full.
4. Place the lid on the Electric Pressure Cooker Plus; align the side of handle with
the locking pin to the condensation collector, and turn it counterclockwise
until it locks into place. The locking pin will click into place. Turn the pressure
regulator knob to PRESSURE.
5. Press the RICE COOK button. The light on the RICE COOK button will flash
and the digital display will read "6".
6. Press the START/STOP button to begin cooking. To set the desired cooking
time, press the RICE button once for each additional cooking minute or
continuously hold down the button until you reach your desired time.
The indicator light will stop flashing. The program will cook for 6-30 minutes
from the moment it builds the right amount of pressure. If you forget to press
the START/STOP button, the digital display will read 0.0 after 30 seconds.
7. When the cooking time ends, the unit will beep and automatically turn the
"Warm" function on until you press the START/STOP button to cancel the
program and release the pressure by turning the regulator valve to steam.
Basic guidelines to use the automatic rice cooking program for different
types of rice:
• 1½ cup rice to 3½ cups liquid for risotto (we suggest to leave it sitting for extra
3-5 minutes after cooking time is up)
• 1½ cup rice to 2½ cups liquid for sushi (with short-grain sushi rice)
• 1½ cup rice to 1½ - 2 cups liquid for regular, fluffy rice
