Cooking Rice - Breville VTP113 Instruction Booklet

cooking rice

Make sure your rice, risotto and pasta cooker is switched off, unplugged at
the mains supply socket and is fully cooled before assembling or disassembling.
During use the glass lid, removable bowl and cooker body will get very hot. Always
handle with care and use oven gloves.
Always check that the rice is thoroughly cooked before serving.
1. Place the removable bowl inside your rice, risotto and pasta cooker's base. Ensure
the bowl is positioned correctly before continuing.
2. Use the supplied measure to measure the required quantity of rice into a container
for washing. For accuracy, always fill the measure with rice until it is level with the
surface of the measure. Don't use heaped measures. For quantities see the rice
cooking guide on page 13.
3. Wash the rice thoroughly under cold running water. This will remove the excess
starch from the rice and produce better results when cooking. Add the washed rice to
the removable bowl.
4. Using the supplied measure, add the required quantity of water to the removable
bowl. Make sure that the bowl is filled above the minimum level marking and below
the maximum level marking. Spread the rice evenly across the bottom of the bowl.
5. Place the glass lid onto the removable bowl.
6. Plug your rice, risotto and pasta cooker into a suitable mains supply socket. The
cooker will beep and all of the mode lights will light up briefly then go out again.
7. Use the mode selector button to select RICE. The RICE light will flash for a few
seconds then a beep will sound and the light will remain lit.
When the cooking time has elapsed, your rice, risotto and pasta cooker will automatically
switch to the keep warm mode and the WARM light will illuminate.
When the cooking time has elapsed, your rice is not quite done. Rice benefits from a 'boil-
steam' method of cooking. Allow your rice to stand for 10-15 minutes in the cooker before
serving.
After the rice has rested for 10 to 15 minutes, remove the lid and stir the rice gently with
the serving spoon. If the rice is not done, re-cover and let it stand in the WARM mode
until it is ready. We recommend that you do not leave your rice, risotto and pasta cooker
on the WARM setting for longer than one hour.
After use
To switch off your cooker when cooking is finished, press the mode selector button
several times until all of the mode lights go out. Unplug your rice, risotto and pasta cooker
from the supply socket. Note that your rice, risotto and pasta cooker will switch off
automatically approximately 2.5 hours after entering the keep warm mode.
