sweet rice, sprouted brown rice, or wild rice as they may begin

TIPS FOR COOKING RICE

• Evenly distribute the rice in the bottom of the Inner Pot to ensure even cooking.
• Wash the rice thoroughly. Rinse quickly using a lot of water. Drain quickly.
Gently rinse rice 2-3 times, until water becomes clear.
• Newly harvested rice (fall season) usually requires less water for cooking than rice that has
been stored. Over time, rice has a tendency to become dehydrated, therefore more water is
needed for cooking.
Note: Some brands of rice recommend not washing the rice before cooking to retain vitamins.
HOW TO COOK BROWN RICE
• Up to 8 cups of brown rice can be cooked.
• Measure water to the BROWN line on inner pot.
• Press the BROWN RICE button from the menu
to begin cooking.
• For more delicious results with brown rice,
soak the rice in water for an hour or more
before cooking.
HOW TO COOK SUSHI RICE
• Use white medium grain rice for sushi.
• Sushi course cooks rice that has a less sticky
texture than normal, which is ideal for making
sushi. If the rice is sticky type, add old rice to
reduce stickiness.
• Measure water to the SUSHI line on inner pot.
