RECIPES
Your Rice Cooker comes with a 6-ounce
(12 tablespoons or 3/4 of a standard 1-cup
measure) measuring cup. All recipes in this
Instruction & Recipe Book are written using the
rice/grain/cereal measured with the Rice Cooker
measuring cup. The liquid is measured with a
traditional liquid measure (1 cup = 8 ounces =
16 tablespoons).
Only white rices can be cooked to the maximum
amount possible in the Rice Cooker (4 Rice Cooker
cups/8 Rice Cooker cups). Do not cook more than
the suggested amounts of other rices on the cook-
ing chart, as the amount of liquid needed to cook
larger amounts will boil over.
Note: For all recipes, use the included Rice Cooker
Measure Cup to measure the rice or grain. Use a
standard liquid measure cup to measure all liquids.
(This keeps your Rice Cooker Measure Cup dry for
measuring dry rice/grain.)
The Rice Cooker Measure Cup = 3/4 cup standard
dry measure or 12 tablespoons (180ml).
