TIPS FOR COOKING RICE
• Evenly distribute the rice in the bottom of the inner pot to ensure even cooking.
• Wash the rice thoroughly. Newly harvested rice (fall season) usually requires less water for cooking
than does rice that has been stored. As time goes by, rice has a tendency to become dehydrated, so
more water is needed for cooking.
Note: Some brands of rice recommend not washing the rice before cooking to retain vitamins.
