Tips on making delicious rice

Read p.16 to 17 for preparations before cooking rice, and p.18 to 22 for how to cook rice.

Select high quality rice and store it in a cool location.

Choose freshly polished, glossy rice with a uniform grain size. Store in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place.

Carefully measure the rice with the supplied measuring cup.

One cup equals about 0.18 L. Use the supplied measuring cup for rinse-free rice as well.

Wash the rice quickly.

Stir the rice around with your hand in a generous amount of water, pour out the water, and repeat until the water remains clear.

When cooking germinated brown rice, whole rice or semi-polished rice, select the "Multigrain" menu.

Cooking rinse-free rice

• Add the rinse-free rice and water, and then stir well from the bottom so that every individual grain of rice becomes immersed in the water. (Merely adding water to the rice will prevent it from soaking in the water and may result in improperly cooked rice.
  If the added water turns white, we recommend you wash the rice thoroughly by replacing the water once or twice. (The water turning white is due to the starch in the rice and not its bran; however, cooking it with the starch left in the water may result in burned rice, the contents boiling over, or improperly cooked rice.)

Adding other ingredients to the rice

The total amount of ingredients should be no more than 2.5 oz (70 g) per cup of rice. Stir in any seasoning well and then add the extra ingredients on top of the rice. If other ingredients are to be added to the rice, be sure to use no more than the acceptable maximum amount (refer to the table below).

Type of rice or menu	1.0 L (5.5-cup) type	1.8 L (10-cup) type
Porridge • Hard	0.5 cups or less 1.5	cups or less
Mixed 3 cups or less 6 cups or less
Sweet 3 cups or less 5 cups or less
Brown 3 cups or less 5 cups or less

• Add water prior to adding the ingredients.
  Adding water after the ingredients will result in the cooked rice being too firm.

Add water according to the type of rice and your personal preference.

Amount of water to add

Type of rice or menu	Corresponding scale (Use the corresponding scale on the inner pot as a guide and add water according to your personal preference.)
Plain/Synchro-Cooking Quick Multigrain	"Plain" scale
Porridge	Hard porridge: "Porridge • Hard" scaleSoft porridge: "Porridge • Soft" scale
Mixed "Mixed" scale
Sweet (a mixture of glutinous and non-glutinous rice)	Between the "Plain" and "Sweet" scales
Sweet (glutinous rice)	"Sweet" scale
Brown "Brown" scale

If you choose to use more or less water than the recommended amount, do not deviate from that amount by any more than 1/3 of one line.
- When cooking rinse-free rice, use the "Plain" scale as a reference but add a little extra water (until it just covers the corresponding line).
- When making with rinse-free rice, use the "Porridge • Hard" scale as a reference for hard porridge and the "Porridge • Soft" scale for soft porridge.
- When cooking germinated brown rice, whole rice or semi-polished rice, use the "Plain" scale as a reference.
If the amount of water to add is specified on a package of germinated brown rice or multi-grain rice, follow those directions and add water according to your personal preference.

Cooking brown rice and/or multi-grain rice mixed in with white rice

• If the rice to be cooked includes more brown rice and/or multi-grain rice than white rice, use the "Brown" menu.
  If there is an equal amount of brown rice and white rice, or there is more white rice than brown rice, use the "Plain" menu. (The brown rice should be soaked separately for 1 to 2 hours before cooking.)
  If there is an equal amount of multi-grain rice and white rice, or there is more white rice than multi-grain rice, use the "Multigrain" menu. (The multi-grain rice should be soaked separately for 1 to 2 hours before cooking.)

Cooking steamed glutinous rice

Wash the rice, and then level it out so that all of the rice is under water.

Cooking grains together with white rice

The amount of multi-grain rice should equal less than 20% of the volume of the white rice. The maximum acceptable amount for the combination of white rice and grains is 5.5 cups with the 1.0 L type and 10 cups with the 1.8 L type.
- The grains should be placed on top of the white rice. Mixing them together may result in improperly cooked food.

Cooking grains together with brown rice

Always use the "Brown" menu.
The maximum acceptable amount for the combination of brown rice and grains is 3.5 cups with the 1.0L type and 6 cups with the 1.8 L type.

Cooking long-grain rice

• When cooking long-grain rice, select the "Quick" menu.

To cook seasoned long-grain rice, select the "Mixed • Sweet" menu.

Selecting any other menu may result in the contents boiling over or in improperly cooked food.

3 Before Cooking Rice

1 Measure the rice.

Always use the measuring cup supplied with the rice cooker.

A level filling of rice in the supplied measuring cup equals about 0.18 L.

Fill the measuring cup as shown below.

Correct measurement

Incorrect measurement

Note

Always use the specified volume of rice (see "Specifications" on p.45). Otherwise the rice may not cook properly. If other ingredients are to be added to the rice, see p.14.

2 Wash the rice. (This can be done using the inner pot.)

Note

• Do not use hot water (over 95^ [35^] ) to wash the rice or when adding water. It may prevent the rice from cooking properly.

Adjust the water level.

Place the inner pot on a level surface and adjust the water level to the appropriate line of the corresponding scale on the inside of the pot.

• The water level should be selected according to the type of rice and the selected cooking menu, but can be fine-adjusted to your personal preference. (See the guidelines on p.14.)

When cooking 3 cups of white rice, adjust the water level to line "3" on the "Plain" scale.

4 Wipe off any water and rice, etc.

Caution

• Be sure to remove any rice or other material adhering to and around the heating plate, center sensor, upper casing, and the open/lock button. (See p.33.)

Adhering material can prevent the lid from closing, allow steam to leak out during cooking, or enable the lid to open and the contents to spray out, resulting in burns or other injury.

Reheating Cooked Rice

For piping hot rice, reheat the rice that is being kept warm before serving it.

Note

• Rice will not be fully heated if more than half of the inner pot is full.
  The rice will end up dry if reheated under any of the following conditions.
  The rice is still hot, such as immediately after cooking.
• There is less than the minimum required amount of rice (1 cup with the 1.0L type, 2 cups with the 1.8L type).
  The rice is reheated 3 times or more.

1 Stir and loosen the rice that was being kept warm.

2 Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water evenly over the rice.

• Adding water will prevent the rice from drying out and result in plumper rice.

3 Make sure that the Keep Warm lamp is on.

• Reheating is not available if the Keep Warm lamp is not on. If the lamp is not on, press the [Keep Warm/Cancel] key. (See p.23.)

4

Press the [Start] key.

The Start lamp will blink and reheating will start. The remaining time will be displayed and an alarm (3 long beeps) will sound when the operation is completed.

• To stop reheating, press the [Keep Warm/Cancel] key.
• Reheating is not available if the rice is too cold (under about 131^ [55^] ). In this case, a repeated beeping alarm will sound.

Cooking Rice and Side Dishes Together ("Synchro-Cooking" Menu)

You can use the cooking plate to cook side dishes described in the supplied "COOKBOOK" at the same time as you cook rice. You can also add water to the inner pot and cook side dishes without making rice.

Refer to the supplied "COOKBOOK" for directions.

Note

• Do not make dishes other than those described in the supplied "COOKBOOK".
• Do not cook with a greater volume of ingredients than that indicated in the supplied "COOKBOOK". Doing so may cause the contents to boil over or result in improperly cooked food.
• Be careful of the following points when using the cooking plate.
• When cooking dishes with a strong odor, the odor may adhere to the pan.
• When cooking ingredients with a strong color, that color may be transferred to the cooking plate through the broth, etc.
• Do not use sharp instruments like kitchen knives, table knives, or forks inside the cooking plate.
• Do not use the Timer function when cooking rice and side dishes concurrently.

Prepare the ingredients and place them in the cooking plate.

Stacking ingredients on top of each other may result in the contents boiling over or in improperly cooked food. Spread ingredients over the whole of the cooking plate.

2 Make the necessary preparations for cooking rice. (See p.16.)

Note

Refer to the following table for the acceptable amounts of food that can be cooked concurrently with rice. Do not cook more than the acceptable maximum or less than the minimum required amounts. Doing so may cause the contents to boil over or result in improperly cooked food.

1.0 L type 1.8 L type
Maximum Minimum Maximum Minimum
2 cups 1 cup 4 cups 2 cups

3 Place the cooking plate inside the inner pot and close the lid.

10 Slow Cooking ("Slow Cook" Menu)

Refer to the supplied "COOKBOOK" for directions.

With this menu, food is first brought to near boiling, the heat is then lowered to about 197^ (92^) and the food left to simmer. The temperature is then lowered even further to about 186^ (86^) and simmering is continued. By gradually lowering the heating temperature in this way, flavors are enhanced and the liquids do not boil down even when heated for a long period of time.

Note

• Caution should be exercised when making dishes other than those described in the supplied "COOKBOOK", as they may boil over.
• Stir well before cooking to prevent seasonings from settling at the bottom of the inner pot.
• When simmering foods in broth, cool the broth before cooking.
• When thickening with starch, add the starch at the end of cooking.
• Since fish-paste products like "chikuwa" tube-shaped fish paste and "kamaboko" fish paste cake will swell when heated, the amount being used should be adjusted with that in mind.

Prepare the ingredients.

2 Add ingredients to the inner pot and close the lid.

Note

• Use the "Plain" scale on the inside of the inner pot as a reference. Using more than the maximum acceptable amount (see the table below) can prevent proper boiling or cause the contents to boil over. Be careful also not to use less than the minimum required amount either, as that can also cause the contents to boil over.

White fish	2 to 3 fillets(5.0 to 7.0 oz [150 to 200 g])	20 to 25 min	Fillet to a thickness of 3/4 inches (2 cm) or less.Always wrap in aluminum foil.
Shrimp	6 to 10(1/4 to 1/2 lbs [100 to 200 g])	15 to 20 min Steam	in shells.
Carrots	1 to 2(7.0 to 11.0 oz [200 to 300 g])	30 to 40 min Cut intobite-sized pieces.
Potatoes	Medium size, 2 to 3(9.0 to 11.0 oz [250 to 300 g])	30 to 40 min Cut intobite-sized pieces.
Sweet potatoes	Medium size, 1(7.0 to 11.0 oz [200 to 300 g])	30 to 40 min Cut intobite-sized pieces.
Meat dumplings(warming)	8 to 15 20 to 25 min Space evenly in pan

• Do not fill the cooking plate for the 1.0 L (5.5-cup) type any higher than 1-1/3 inches (3.4 cm), or 1-1/2 inches (3.7 cm) with the 1.8 L (10-cup) type. Doing so may result in the food touching the lid and becoming wet and soggy.
• The steaming times above are only a guideline and the required time will differ depending upon the temperature, quality, and quantity of the ingredients.
  If steaming is still not complete, you can steam for an additional period of time based on how well the food is cooked.
• Normally, there will not be enough water for additional steaming. Add water to prevent the inner pot from running dry.
  If you steam meat and fish, etc., for too long, they will become hard. If food does not steam sufficiently at shorter times, cut into thinner slices.
  Always wrap fish, etc., in aluminum foil for steaming. Failure to do so may result in the contents of the cooking plate boiling over.
