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 (rice) porridge.
Cooking STICKY or GLUTINOUS rice
Sticky or glutinous rice is different to normal short grain rice, it needs more water. If you are cooking
sticky/glutinous rice you need to follow the water guidance below and use the short grain setting.

COOKING RICE IN PANDA
1.
Measure
the rice with the measuring cup provided. Make sure the rice is level to the top of the cup – this
is a full cup (180ml) measurement.
2.
Clean
the rice
(if needed) 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.
4.
Press
‘START’
and the cooking cycle will begin.
A chasing lines pattern comes on the display to indicate
Panda is cooking, a countdown will appear in the last 10 minutes.
3.4 HOW TO USE THE KEEP WARM FUNCTION
Once a cooking cycle has finished, the appliance will automatically switch to ‘KEEP WARM’.
You can activate ‘KEEP WARM’ when the appliance is on stand-by (i.e. when no menu functions have been
selected) by pressing the ‘KEEP WARM’ button. The button will then light up and a count-up clock will appear on
the display for your reference. The ‘Keep Warm’ function can be used for 24 hours but you may find that the rice
is dry after 15 hours (as rice has to be kept at a safe temperature to eat). You can extend this by periodically
adding a little water to the rice and stirring through.
To cancel ‘KEEP WARM’, press the ‘KEEP WARM’ button again (it doubles as the ‘CANCEL’ button). The appliance
will then switch to stand-by mode.
If you want to cook
½ cup of rice
, there isn’t a mark on the inner bowl for this. Use the
measuring cup to add the water – ½ a measuring cup of water for white rice and 1 cup of water
for brown rice.
