Tips on making delicious rice

Select high quality rice and store it in a
cool location.
Choose freshly polished, glossy rice with a uniform
grain size. Store in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place.
Carefully measure the rice with the
supplied measuring cup.
One cup equals about
0.18 L.
Use the supplied measuring
cup for rinse-free rice as well.
Wash the rice quickly.
Stir the rice around with your hand in a generous
amount of water, pour out the water, and repeat
until the water remains clear.
When cooking germinated brown rice,
whole rice or semi-polished rice, select
the "Multigrain" menu.
Cooking rinse-free rice
• Add the rinse-free rice and water, and then stir well
from the bottom so that every individual grain of rice
becomes immersed in the water.(Merely adding
water to the rice will prevent it from soaking in the
water and may result in improperly cooked rice.
• If the added water turns white, we recommend you
wash the rice thoroughly by replacing the water once
or twice. (The water turning white is due to the starch
in the rice and not its bran; however, cooking it with
the starch left in the water may result in burned rice,
the contents boiling over, or improperly cooked rice.)
Adding other ingredients to the rice
The total amount of ingredients should be no more
than 70 g per cup of rice. Stir in any seasoning well
and then add the extra ingredients on top of the rice.
If other ingredients are to be added to the rice, be
sure to use no more than the acceptable maximum
amount (refer to the table below).

Mixed 3 cups or less 6 cups or less

• Add water prior to adding the ingredients.
Adding water after the ingredients will result in
the cooked rice being too firm.

Soft porridge: "Porridge • soft" scale
• When cooking rinse-free rice, use the "Plain"
scale as a reference but add a little extra water
(until it just covers the corresponding line).
• When making with the rinse-free rice, use
"Porridge • hard" scale as a reference for hard
porridge and the "Porridge • soft" scale for a
soft porridge.
• When cooking germinated brown rice, whole
rice or semi-polished rice, use the "Plain" scale
as a reference.
• If the amount of water to add is specified on a
package of germinated brown rice or multi-grain-
brown rice, follow those directions and add water
according to your personal preference.
Cooking brown rice or multi-grain-brown
rice mixed in with white rice
• If the rice to be cooked includes more brown
rice and/or multi-grain-brown rice than white
rice, use the "Brown" menu.
• If there is an equal amount of brown rice and
white rice, or there is more white rice than
brown rice, use the "Plain" menu. (The brown
rice should be soaked separately for 1 to 2
hours before cooking.)
• If there is an equal amount of multi-grain-brown
rice and white rice, or there is more white rice than
multi-grain-brown rice, use the "Multigrain" menu.
(The multi-grain-brown rice should be soaked
separately for 1 to 2 hours before cooking.)
Cooking sweet rice
When cooking sweet rice, select the "Sweet•Mixed"
menu.
Wash the rice, and then level it out so that all of
the rice is under water.
Cooking grains together with white rice
• The amount of grains should equal less than
20% of the volume of the white rice.
• The grains should be placed on top of the
white rice. Mixing them together may result in
improperly cooked food.
• If you feel the cooked grains are too hard, soak
the grains separately for about 1 hour prior to
cooking.
Cooking grains together with brown rice
• Always use the "Brown" menu.
• The maximum acceptable amount for the
combination of brown rice and grains is 3.5
cups with the 1.0 L type and 6 cups with the 1.8
L type.
