• Stir prepackaged, boxed rice mixes at least once during cooking; otherwise,

spices may stick to the bottom of the cooking pot. For best results, unplug unit

when finished cooking this type of rice. Do not “keep warm.”

• Rinsing rice will sometimes increase bubbling during cooking. When cooking a half

pot or less of rice, minimize bubbling/overflow by reducing water by about one-third.

• Allowing rice to “rest” for approximately 5–10 minutes after cooking will yield

better-textured rice.

• Give rice a flavor boost by substituting an equal amount chicken/beef/vegetable

broth for water.

• Note that the cook times listed here are approximate and for reference only. You

do not need to enter cooking times when using the WHITE RICE or WHOLE GRAIN

functions since the unit knows when the food is finished and will adjust cooking

time accordingly.

beef/vegetable broth for water.
