TROUBLESHOOTING
Since rice varieties may vary in composition, the results may differ. Here are some
troubleshooting tips to get the consistency you want.
RICE IS TOO DRY/HARD AFTER COOKING
If your rice is dry or hard/tough when the rice cooker switches to "keep warm", the rice will be
softened by extra water and extra cooking time. Depending on how dry your rice is, add 1/2 to 1 cup
of water and stir through. Replace the lid and press the COOK switch. When the rice cooker switches
to "keep warm", remove the lid and stir the rice to check for consistency. If necessary, repeat until the
rice is soft and moist.
RICE IS TOO HUMID/DAMP AFTER COOKING
If your rice is still too moist or humid while the rice cooker is switching to "keep warm," stir the rice
with the spatula. This redistributes the lowest (wettest) part of the rice and releases excess moisture.
Replace the lid and leave it in warm-up mode for 10 to 30 minutes as needed, remove the lid and stir
regularly to drain excess moisture.
THE LOWEST RICE LAYER IS BROWNED/CARAMELIZED
The bottom layer of cooked rice may be lightly browned and/or caramelized during cooking. To
reduce the browning, rinse the rice before cooking to remove excess starch. Stirring rice after
switching to "keeping warm" also helps to reduce tanning/caramelization.
RICE BUBBLES AND FOAMS HEAVILY/WATER SPLASHES OUT OF THE LID
When the rice foams heavily and bubbles form, the rice used is very starchy. Wash the rice very
thoroughly before cooking until the water runs clear. If the rice is still very foamy, you can stir the rice
and add some coconut or vegetable oil. If this does not help either, use a di
ff
erent type of rice the
next time that contains less or hardly any starch.
