ABOUT RICE Rice is a valuable source of complex carbohydrates and nutrition. It has no fat and is rich in thiamine, niacin and iron. An interesting note, more than half of the world’s population eats rice every day.- 6 - There are many different varieties of rice available at your market. You may want to try several to see which types best suit your taste. Here are some of the more common types and some of their characteristics: Long Grain Rice Typically used for recipes, calling for loose, non-sticky, individual grains after cooking. “California” rice is soft while “Caroline” a bit firmer. “Jasmine” is the firmest and is very flavorful and fragrant. Short Grain Rice This variety, which is softer and sticker is most commonly used in oriental recipes. The “California” variety is soft; “Sweet Rice”, often called “Pearl” rice, is round in shape. The sweet rice is extra sticky and is often the variety of choice for making rice pudding. Brown Rice Brown rice is often considered as the healthiest variety. It offers itself in its natural unbleached, bran rich form. It contains more B-complex vitamins, irons, calcium and fiber than other varieties. Wild Rice Wild rice comes in many delicious varieties and mixes. Often it is mixed with long grain rice for its firmer texture and rich brown to black color. Wild rice makes a wonderful stuffing for poultry when cooked with broth and mixed with your favorite dried fruits. COOKING RICE You’ll have excellent results using this guideline. For your convenience, the inner pot features water measurement lines inside. We have also provided a handy cup that is designed to measure rice and water.

1. Using the measuring cup provided in the package, measure and add rice to the inner pot. One full-level

measure equals one cup.

2. You may add water to the rice for cooking by the waterline inside the pot. (See measurement chart)

Example: for 2 cups of uncooked rice, add water to line 2.

3. For softer rice, we suggest preparing rice and water in the inner pot and let it soak for 10-20 minutes

4. Place the lid on cooker and plug in power cord. Press the on/off switch to “I” position and press the

cooking switch down. When your rice is cooked the cooker will automatically switch to the Warm function.

5. After cooking it is important to allow rice to stand, for 6-10 minutes without removing lid. This will ensure

that rice is cooked through.

6. Brown rice will take longer to cook. We suggest adding an additional 3/4-cup of water to accommodate

the proper cooking time.

RICE / WATER MEASUREMENT CHART

1. You may rinse rice to remove excess bran and starch. This will help to reduce rice browning and sticking to

the bottom of your pot after cooking, but it may also lose some nutrients in the rice.

2. Remember: Place rice to your inner pot first and then add water before cooking.

3. If you have experienced any sticking due to the type of rice you choose, try adding a light coating of

vegetable oil to the bottom of inner pot before placing rice.- 7 -

4. When cooking brown or wild rice, add 3/4 additional cup of water.

5. As there are many different kinds of rice available, rice/water measurement might be slightly different by

using different kind of rice. Remember to make the adjustment to get a better result.

A hearty bowl of soup or stew is always welcome at any table. Be creative and use various leftover meats and vegetables with your favorite stock and create your own unique recipes. When preparing soup or stew, try to allow extra time for it to “simmer”. This will allow flavors to blend and meat to be tender. HELPFUL HINTS

1. To thicken your stew, mix 1/4-cup flour with enough cold water to form a thin paste. Gradually add it to

the stew and stir till thickened.

2. If using fresh parsley or herbs in your recipe, add them in the last few moments of cooking to preserve

3. Save any leftovers for the next day. The flavors increase overnight in your refrigerator.

4. Canned stewed tomatoes or water with bouillon seasoning and spices added make great stock starters for

soups and stews. TECHNICAL DATA Supply voltage: 220-240V ~ 50/60Hz Power consumption: 400W
