used on the Oatmeal setting. The oatmeal
function also lets you make a creamy
polenta – without the stirring!
Quick Cook – when time is running short,
you can bypass the regular White or
Brown Rice functions and just use this
Quick Cook setting. Not only can you get
a quick rice out of it, it is also great for
Israeli couscous and rice pilafs as well.
Quick Cook can also be used as a sauté
function when used with the Slow Cook

in your Cuisinart ® Rice Plus ™ Multi-
Cooker. Keep the soup warm in the same
pot after it has finished cooking with the
Keep Warm function.
Reheat – the large capacity of the Rice
Plus ™ Multi-Cooker can handle leftovers
for the next day. When using this function,
just add a little bit of water or broth to the
rice to bring back some of the moisture.
