HELPFUL HINTS

• Although the rice measure holds about 5 ounces of uncooked rice; the cooked rice is
given in 8 ounce cup measures.
• Kosher salt has no impurities and dissolves faster than table salt. If using kosher salt
you may find you want to add a little more than if using table salt. Use about ¾ tsp
kosher salt to each cup of uncooked rice.
• White rice should be kept in an airtight container in a cool dark place.
• Brown rice has a limited shelf life; store it for no more than a month before using.
• Try using broth, stock or reconstituted bouillon in place of water for additional flavor.
If you do, no additional salt may be necessary.
TO USE STEAMER BASKET

seasonings.
1. Pour about 1½ cups of cold tap water into cooking bowl using standard liquid
measuring cup. Add seasoning, if desired.
2. Place vegetables or other food in the steamer basket.

surface of the cooking bowl are clean and dry. Make sure no food falls into the rice
cooker.

Note: Always keep the lid closed on the rice cooker while cooking.
