Because rice varieties may vary in their make-up, results may differ. Below are some troubleshooting tips to help you achieve the
desired consistency.
Rice is too dry/hard after cooking.
If your rice is dry or hard/chewy when the rice cooker switches to KEEP 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 through. Close the lid and
press the COOK SWITCH. When rice cooker switches to KEEP WARM, 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 too moist or soggy when the rice cooker switches to KEEP WARM, use the serving spatula to stir the
rice. This will redistribute the bottom (moistest) part of the rice as well as release excess moisture. Close the lid and
allow to remain on KEEP WARM for 10-30 minutes as needed, removing the lid and stirring periodically to release
excess moisture.
The bottom layer of rice is browned/
caramelized.
The bottom layer of cooked rice may become slightly browned and/or caramelized during cooking. To reduce
browning, rice should be rinsed before cooking to remove any excess starch. Stirring rice once it switches to KEEP
WARM will also help to reduce browning/caramelizing.
