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.
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).
1.0 L (5.5-cup) 1.8 L (10-cup)

Mixed 3 cups or less 6 cups or less
Porridge • hard 0.5 cups 1.5 cups or less
Brown 3 cups or less 5 cups or less
Sweet 3 cups or less 5 cups or less
• Do not open the lid to add ingredients during
cooking.
• Add water prior to adding the ingredients.
Adding water after the ingredients will result in
the cooked rice being too firm.

• Water levels in the above table also apply to
rinse-free rice.
• When cooking germinated brown rice, whole
rice, semi-polished rice, long-grain rice or
grains, 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 sweet rice
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 multi-grain rice should equal
less than 20% of the volume of the white rice.
The maximum acceptable amount for the
combination of white rice and grains is 5.5 cups
with the 1.0 L type and 10 cups with the 1.8 L
type.
• The grains should be placed on top of the
white rice. Mixing them together may result in
improperly cooked food.
• Do not mix in amaranth or other small grains.
Cooking brown rice mixed in with white
rice
• If the rice to be cooked includes more brown
rice than white rice, use the "Brown" menu.
(See P.16 ・ P.17)
• 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. (See P.16
・ P.17) (The brown rice should be soaked
separately for 1 to 2 hours before cooking.)
When cooking germinated brown rice,
whole rice, semi-polished rice or grains,
select the "Plain" menu.
