4. TIPS TO COOKING GREAT TASTING RICE
4.1
HOW TO COOK PERFECT RICE
Measure the rice accurately!
Use the measuring cup provided as other cup sizes may be different measurements. Make
sure you level the rice off at the top of the cup.
Rinse the rice!
Place the rice into a sieve or a bowl and pour fresh, cold water on top. Stir the rice loosely by hand and
drain the water. Do this 2-3 times until the water you are rinsing with runs clear.
Be accurate with the water!
The amount of water in the inner
bowl prior to cooking greatly affects the texture of the cooked
rice. The more water you use, the softer the rice will be when
cooked. We recommend after washing the rice, you place in the
inner bowl, then top up with water to the corresponding line on
the inner bowl – fill to the underside of the line, this will give you
perfect rice. If you prefer it softer, fill to the top of the line; if you
prefer it harder, fill to 2-3mm below the line.
Stir and loosen!
once the appliance has switched to ‘KEEP WARM’, if possible, stir and loosen the rice straight away with
the provided spatula. This helps release excessive moisture and results in nice, perfect fluffy rice.

BASIC COOKING STEPS
1. Measure the rice with the cup provided with the appliance. Make sure the rice is level to the top of the cup.
2. Clean the rice as directed in ‘4.1 HOW TO COOK PERFECT RICE’. Place the inner bowl into the appliance, put the rice
into the inner bowl and fill to the water line that corresponds to the amount of rice you are cooking.
3. Close the lid and select the rice setting you want to cook with – see ‘3.3 HOW TO USE THE RICE COOKER
FUNCTIONS’ and press and hold ‘START’ for 2 seconds.

OUR TIPS FOR RICE COOKING AND GETTING PERFECT RESULTS
There isn’t a mark on the inner bowl for just one cup of rice, so when cooking one cup of rice, use the measuring cup
and a tiny splash more to the rice.
Try and choose bags of rice with as few broken grains as possible, as broken grains make rice very soggy and sticky.
It is important to remember that every batch of rice is different - even the rice you regularly buy can sometimes change
for the worse quality - each batch of rice absorbs water differently depending on how well it's been processed. The end
