Troubleshooting

Rice is too dry/hard after cooking.
·
If your rice is dry or hard/chewy when the
cooker switches to Warm, additional water and
cooking time will soften the rice. Depending on
how dry your rice is, add ½ to 1 cup of water and
stir thoroughly. Place the lid on and press the
cook switch down. When the cooker switches to
Warm mode, remove the lid and stir the rice to
check the consistency. Repeat as necessary until
rice is soft and moist.
Rice is too moist/soggy after cooking.
·
If your rice is still too moist or soggy when
the cooker switches to Warm, use the serving
spatula to stir the rice. This will redistribute
the bottom (moist) part of the rice as well as
release excess moisture. Place the lid on and
allow to remain on Warm mode for 10-30
minutes as needed, removing the lid and stirring
periodically to release excess moisture.
