NOTE
• When cooking brown or wild rice, add an additional 3/4 cup water.
• The measuring cup included is not an exact cup. Chart refers to cups of
rice/water based on the measuring cup provided.
• This is only a general measuring guide. As there are many different kinds of rice
available (see About Rice on page 3), rice/water measurement may vary slightly.
HELPFUL HINTS:
1. Rinse rice to remove excess bran and starch. This will help reduce browning and
sticking to the bottom of the pot, but it may also reduce nutrients in rice.
2. If you have experienced any sticking due to the type of rice you are using, try
adding a light coating of vegetable oil to the bottom of the inner pot before adding
rice.
3. For softer rice, allow rice to soak for 10-20 minutes prior to cooking.
