Fuji IH Multifunction Rice Cooker by Yum Asia
3.3 HOW TO USE THE RICE COOKER FUNCTIONS
Fuji is designed to cook rice using 7 distinct phases to produce perfect rice every time and to carefully retain
nutrients. The phased cooking and adjustments in induction temperature are controlled using Fuji’s IH
UMAI
fuzzy
logic processor which also enables more refined cooking of rice in the GABA brown and Yumami settings.
OPTIONS FOR COOKING RICE - pressing the ‘Menu/Cancel’ button will cycle through the cooking programmes
1.
‘White’
setting is for cooking white rice
a.
When ‘White’ is selected and flashing, you can then select short grain (for sushi) or long grain by
pressing the ‘Rice Type’ button on the control panel
2.
‘Yumami’
setting is also for white rice. This is a specific cooking cycle with different temperatures, it
releases sugars contained in the rice and this phased rice cooking is said to make the rice tasted sweeter
and 'moreish', hence the name 'Yumami' (see section 3.8, page 12 for further information)
3.
‘Brown Rice’
setting is for cooking long or short grain brown rice
4.
‘GABA’
setting soaks and ‘activates’ any type of brown rice to release the gamma-aminobutyric acid, or
GABA in the brown rice. Also known as ‘hatsuga genmai’, it is thought to have many health benefits (see
section 3.8, page 11 for further information)
There are markings on the inside of the inner bowl to indicate the water levels for white long grain rice, white short
grain rice, brown rice and porridge (rice porridge/congee). During the rice cooking cycles, a countdown clock
appears for the whole rice cooking cycle, this countdown is only approximate and is not accurate until the last 10
minutes of the rice cooking cycle.
