Tips on making delicious rice

Tiger JAJA55U - Tips on making delicious rice - 1

See page 14 for preparations before cooking rice, and pages 16, 17, and 18 for rice cooking instructions.

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 location.

Carefully measure the rice with the supplied measuring cup.

One cup equals about 5.29 oz (0.18 L).

× Use the supplied measuring cup for rinse-free rice as well.

Tiger JAJA55U - Carefully measure the rice with the supplied measuring cup. - 1

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.

Tiger JAJA55U - Wash the rice quickly. - 1

When cooking semi-polished rice, whole rice, rice boiled with barley, germinated brown rice, and rice mixed with grains, select the "Plain" menu.

When cooking mixed grain with white rice, place the mixed grain on top of the white rice.
※ There may be more scorched rice than when compared to polished rice.

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 burnt rice, the contents boiling over, or improperly cooked rice.)

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

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.

Amount of water to add

MenuWater scale (Use the corresponding scale on the inner pot as a guide)
Quick Synchro-Cooking Plain MixedUse the "Plain" scale.
Sweet (sticky rice)Use the "Sweet" scale.
Sweet (sticky rice and regular rice)Between the "Plain" and "Sweet" scales.
Risotto Use the "Risotto" scale.
Brown Use the "Brown" scale.

For rinse-free rice, make sure the water is added up to slightly over the scale (with the line just covered by the surface of the water).
When cooking semi-polished rice, whole rice, rice boiled with barley, germinated brown rice, and rice mixed with grains, use the "Plain" scale as a reference.
If the amount of water to add is specified on a package of germinated brown rice or multigrain rice, follow those directions and add water according to your personal preference.

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 (see the following table).

Mixed-Sweet 2 cups or less
Risotto 1 cup or less
Brown 1.5 cups or less

Cooking risotto

After washing the rice, cook the risotto immediately without draining in a colander. Otherwise the texture could be spoiled.

Tiger JAJA55U - Cooking risotto - 1

  • Do not leave the cooking plate or food cooked using the cooking plate inside the rice cooker while the Keep Warm function is on.
  • Be sure to remove any grains of rice that adhere to the brim of the inner pot as well as the gasket. Failure to do so can result in dryness, discoloration, odors, and stickiness of the rice being cooked.
  • For "Risotto", the Keep Warm light blinks when cooking is complete. Since it can become pasty if kept warm for too long, and condensation can drip from the inner lid, serve as soon as possible.
  • For "Cake", the Keep Warm light blinks when baking is complete. Since condensation can drip from the inner lid, serve as soon as possible.
  • Serve cooked rice as soon as possible in severe weather conditions such as cold climates and high temperature environments.
    If the Keep Warm temperature is too low, reheat the rice (see p.21).

Note

  • Rice will not be fully heated if more than half of the inner pot is full.
  • The rice will dry out 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 (0.5 cup).
The rice is reheated 3 times or more.

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

Tiger JAJA55U - Note - 1

If reheating is not performed soon after cooking, it may not be cooked properly.

You can use the cooking plate to cook side dishes at the same time as you cook rice (soup).

You can also add water to the inner pot and cook side dishes without making rice.

See the supplied Cookbook for instructions.

Note

  • Do not cook with a greater volume of ingredients than as indicated in the supplied cookbook. Doing so may cause the contents to boil over or result in improperly cooked food.
  • When cooking dishes with a strong odor, the odor may remain on the cooking plate.
  • 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.

For the best synchro-cooking experience

  • Do not overfill the cooking plate.
  • Arrange ingredients evenly in the base of the cooking plate, and leave enough space for steam to escape from each ingredient (use the level shown in the following illustration as a guide).

Tiger JAJA55U - For the best synchro-cooking experience - 1

Tiger JAJA55U - For the best synchro-cooking experience - 2

Food should not be placed above this point

  • Use as little water or soup as you can (if there is too much liquid, it may not be heated sufficiently).
  • Make sure that milk, fresh cream, etc. are mixed well.
  • When cooking food that expands, such as a hotcake mix, only use a small amount (about 1/3 of the depth of the cooking plate as a guide). Since eggs also expand, only cook one or two at once. As this also depends on the amount of other ingredients used and the size of the eggs, adjust the amount as necessary.
  • Slice up ingredients that are difficult to cook thoroughly, such as root vegetables.
  • The cooking plate is designed for steam cooking only. It cannot be used to fry or bake.

Note

If ingredients are insufficiently cooked even after following the points above, move them into another container and heat in a microwave etc. (the inner pot and the cooking plate cannot be placed in a microwave).

Basic steps for synchro-cooking

Prepare the ingredients and place them in the cooking plate.

× Spread ingredients over the whole of the cooking plate and avoid stacking them. Doing so may cause the contents to boil over or result in improperly cooked food.

2 Make the necessary preparations for cooking rice or soup.

(See p.14 1 to 4)

Note

See the following table for the acceptable amounts of rice that can be cooked concurrently with food. 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.

Maximum Minimum
1 cup 0.5 cup

Use the "Plain" scale on the inner pot to measure the ingredients for the soup as shown in the following table. Adding more than the maximum may cause the contents to boil over or result in improperly cooked food. If the ingredients are less than the minimum, they may burn.

Maximum Minimum
1.5 or less on the Plain scale1 or more on the Plain scale

  • Do not tilt the cooking plate while removing it. The broth, etc., may spill out and result in burns.
  • Do not return the cooking plate to the inner pot after removing it.
    Doing so may result in the rice spoiling or not being kept warm.
  • When making soup and another dish, ingredients may adhere to the bottom of the cooking plate, so be careful when placing it on a table etc.

When cooking with ingredients that release a lot of liquid, oils or fats when heated, or that expand during heating, such as eggs etc., some of the broth may overflow into the inner pot.

You can prepare the following dishes with ease. See the supplied Cookbook for instructions.

With this menu, food is first brought to near boiling, the heat is then lowered to about 199^ (93^) and the food left to simmer. The temperature is then lowered even further to about 190^ (88^) 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.
