Troubleshooting

Rice is too dry/hard after cooking.

Depending on how dry your rice is, add ½ to 1

cup of water and stir thoroughly. Close the lid

and select the Rice function once more. When

the cooker switches to Keep Warm, open the lid

and stir the rice to check the consistency. Repeat

as necessary until rice is soft and moist.

Rice is too moist/soggy after cooking.

Use the serving spatula to stir the rice to

redistribute the bottom (moist) part of the rice

as well as release excess moisture. Close the

lid and allow the cooker to remain on Keep

Warm for 10-30 minutes as needed, opening

the lid and stirring periodically to release excess

moisture.

Hints:

If you misplace the

measuring cup, a ¾

standard U.S. cup is an

exact replacement.

To add more flavor

to rice, try substituting

water for a favorite

meat or vegetable broth

or stock. The ratio of

broth/stock to rice will

be the same as

water to rice.

For approximate rice

cooking times and

suggested rice/water

ratios, see "Rice/Grain

& Water Measurement

Table" on page 15.
