Tips for cooking rice to perfect softness

Choose good quality rice
• Choose rice that is shiny and
transparent
• Choose rice with less broken grains
• Keep it in the cool place
• Use it as soon as possible after
milling (Use it up within half a month
in summer time.)
Do not leave the rice uncovered
• It breaks the rice, resulting in a
mushy rice texture.
• The rice can be cooked without
leaving it uncovered and soaking it in
water.
Wash the Inner Pan with a sponge.
Do not wash dishes inside the Inner Pan.
* Fluorocarbon resin coating can wear out. Please treat it with caution.
Measure rice accurately
• Be sure to use the measuring cup
provided as an accessory (180ml)
• Measuring rice with other appliances
may not be accurate.
Measure water precisely
• Measure water precisely on a flat
surface
• Do not use warm water or Alkaline
water with pH higher than 9. (It may
cause a mushy rice texture or
discolouration.)
Do not hit or rub.
Wash quickly
• The first wash should be done quickly
with plenty of water, disposing of the
water immediately afterwards.
• Wash gently to remove polishing on
the surface of the rice.
Stir and loosen the rice
as soon as cooking is done
• There is no need to let it stand.
• Stirring releases excess water in the
rice, resulting in a fluffier rice texture.
