TIPS FOR COOKING RICE
• Wash the rice is always shortly before cooking. Thus, a possibly occurring bran
taste can be eliminated. Use only cold water for washing. If you rinse the rice
before cooking in a kitchen strainer under cold running water, then the rice takes
on only a little water. The rice is sufficiently purged when the draining water runs
clear and no milky turbidity.
• The amount of water required depends on the type of rice used. The informations
in the table below are approximate:
Rice Type*
Amount of water relative to the level mark in the pot use
Wild rice, brown rice
Fill a little over the level mark; soak before cooking
Polished rice
Fill approximately ¼ below the level mark, do not soak before cooking
Parboiled rice
Fill up to the level mark, do not soak before cooking
* The rice type is usually indicated on the packaging.
• Very resistant rice varieties - especially wild rice - should be soaked before coo-
king ½ to 1 hour in the cooking water. After cooking, the rice should be com-
pletely white and cloudy.
• Stir the rice directly after the end of the cooking time well, so that excess water
can evaporate.
• For keeping warm accumulate the excess rice is in the middle of the inner pot.
• Never leave the cooking utensils in the rice. Otherwise, the taste may be impaired.
