TIPS FOR DELICIOUS RICE

TIPS FOR COOKING DELICIOUS RICE
Measure rice accurately
Be sure to use the Measuring Cup provided, as other measuring cups may differ. Level the rice off at the top of the cup to
maintain accuracy.
Clean rice quickly
Prepare a bowl to pool water
Rinse rice .... First, pour plenty of water into the Inner Cooking
Pan from the bowl and stir the rice loosely 2–3 times
(within 10 seconds) by hand. Drain the water
immediately afterwards. Repeat twice.
Wash rice .... Wash by stirring the rice by hand 30 times (about 15
seconds), pour plenty of water from the bowl and stir
the rice loosely again. Drain the water immediately.
Repeat this washing process 2–4 times.
Rinse rice .... Lastly, pour plenty of water from the bowl and rinse
the rice. Repeat twice.
(Complete steps
within 10 minutes.)
Do not clean the rice or adjust the amount of water using hot water (35°C or above).
Warning!
Doing so will cause the rice to be cooked improperly.
Adjust the amount of water accordingly

●If you add too much water, it may boil over through the Steam Vent.
Do not use strongly alkalized ionic water
Do not use alkalized ionic water that is over pH 9. Rice cooked with
strongly alkalized ionic water may appear yellow or become too glutinous.
Stir and loosen rice immediately after cooking
has completed
Doing so releases excess moisture, resulting in rice that is perfectly cooked with a fluffy texture.
Loosen the rice within 10 minutes after cooking completes. Not loosening the rice may cause it to clump, become too
glutinous or burn.
TIPS FOR USING THE KEEP WARM MODE
When keeping rice in the Inner Cooking Pan for later consumption, use the
Keep Warm mode.
● The rice may develop a foul odor or condensed moisture may fall on the rice, making it sticky, if the Keep Warm mode
is cancelled or if left in an unplugged Rice Cooker.
To prevent the rice from becoming dry or wet,
developing an odor or turning yellow, do not
use the Keep Warm mode for the following:
● Keeping a small amount of

● As the amount of rice kept
warm decreases, the rice
may dry or become wet. To
minimize this, gather the
rice toward the center of the
Inner Cooking Pan while
keeping warm.
