Frequently Asked Questions - BRC350XL BREVILLE

How do I cook rice in the Breville BRC350XL?

Use the provided measuring cup to measure rice. Wash rice until water runs clear. Place rice in the removable cooking bowl, add water (1 cup water per 1 cup white rice, 1.5 cups per brown rice). Close lid, plug in, press selector to 'Cook'. When done, bell rings and it switches to 'Keep Warm'.

What is the water-to-rice ratio for white and brown rice?

For white rice, use 1 cup water per 1 cup rice. For brown rice, use 1.5 cups water per 1 cup rice. Adjust for desired texture.

Can I steam vegetables or fish in this rice cooker?

Yes, use the included stainless steel steaming trays. Add 2-6 cups of water or stock to the removable bowl, place food on trays, close lid, and select 'Cook'. Refer to steaming charts in the manual for times.

How do I clean the rice cooker?

Unplug and let cool. Wash the removable cooking bowl, glass lid, and steaming trays in hot soapy water. Rinse and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool. The stainless steel housing can be wiped with a damp cloth. Do not immerse housing or cord in water.

Is the cooking bowl dishwasher safe?

No, Breville does not recommend dishwasher use as harsh detergents and high temperatures may damage the non-stick surface. Hand wash only.

What is the maximum capacity for cooking rice?

Maximum uncooked white rice is 10 cups using the Breville measuring cup, which yields about 27 cups of cooked rice. Do not exceed the 10-cup line inside the bowl.

Can I keep rice warm after cooking?

Yes, the cooker automatically switches to Keep Warm mode after cooking. Rice can be kept warm for up to 5 hours. To stop, switch off at the power outlet and unplug.

What should I do if rice sticks to the bottom of the bowl?

Soak the bowl with hot soapy water for about 10 minutes before cleaning. This helps loosen stuck rice. Avoid using metal utensils to prevent scratching the non-stick surface.

Can I use metal utensils with the non-stick bowl?

No, always use wooden or plastic utensils to prevent scratching the non-stick coating of the removable cooking bowl.

How do I cook brown rice in this cooker?

Use 1.5 cups water per 1 cup brown rice. Wash rice first. Cooking time is longer (e.g., 25-30 minutes for 2 cups). After cooking, let it keep warm for 20 minutes to absorb moisture. Some starchy bubbles may appear; that's normal.

Operating your Breville Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker

Before first use, remove the packaging material and promotional labels and wash the non-stick removable cooking bowl, stainless steel steaming trays and glass lid in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.

How to cook rice

1. Use the Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker measuring cup provided to measure the required quantity of rice (refer to cooking tables – page 8). Always measure level cups, not heaped (Fig 1.)

1. Place the rice into a separated bowl and wash with cold water to remove any excess starch. The rice is ready for cooking when water runs clear from the rice.

2. Ensure the exterior of the removable cooking bowl is clean before placing it in the Stainless Steel Housing (this will ensure proper contact with the inner cooking surface).

3. Add the washed rice to the removable cooking bowl, ensuring rice is spread evenly across the bottom of the bowl and hot heaped to one side (Fig 2).

5 Add water using the following ratios:

White Rice = 1 cup water: 1 cup rice

Brown Rice=1½ cups water: 1 cup rice

1. Place the glass lid into position.
2. Plug into a 110/120 volt power outlet and then switch the power on at the power outlet. The amber 'Keep Warm' light will illuminate.
3. To commence cooking, press the Selector Control to 'Cook'. The red 'Cook' light will illuminate.
4. When cooking is complete, the Ready Bell will sound and the Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker will automatically switch to the 'Keep Warm' setting. The amber 'Keep Warm' light will illuminate.
5. Open the lid and turn the rice over with the serving spoon provided. Replace the lid and allow the rice to stand for 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows any excess moisture to be absorbed, resulting in a fluffler rice texture.

1 Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker measuring cup is equal to 5 12 oz (150grams) of uncooked rice and 14 cups (180ml) of water.

1 American Standard Metric Measuring cup is equal to 7 oz (200 grams) of uncooked rice.

If your Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker measuring cup is lost or misplaced, use another cup but maintain the same cooking ratios and ensure you do not exceed 10 cup maximum line in the removable cooking bowl: White Rice = 1 cup water; 1 cup rice

Brown Rice=1½ cups water: 1 cup rice.

Steaming foods

Tips

• Add a little extra water for fluffier rice and a little less water for firmer rice.
• Some rice varieties may require more water for cooking, such as wild rice blends, Arborio rice or short grain rice. Follow the directions on the packet or use the brown rice cooking table.

Rice variations

Savory Rice

Prepare the rice in the Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker as specified, substituting all the water with the same quantity of chicken, beef, fish, or vegetable stock. Apple juice, orange juice or pineapple juice may be substituted for half of the water quantity.

Sweet Rice

Prepare the rice In the Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker as specified, substituting half the water with apple juice, orange juice or pineapple juice. Cooking rice with milk or cream is not recommended as it will burn onto the bottom of the removable cooking bowl.

Saffron Rice

Add 14 teaspoon of saffron powder or 2 saffron threads to every 2 cups of water. Use the white rice cooking tables. Mix well.

Arborio Rice

Arborlo rice is short round-grained pearly rice often used for Italian risotto cooking. Use the brown rice cooking tables.

Jasmine Rice

Jasmine rice is fragrant long grain rice. Use the white rice cooking tables.

Wild Rice

It is not recommended to cook wild rice alone in the Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker as it requires a substantial amount of water. It is possible to cook wild rice as a blend with white or brown rice.

Steamed foods retain most of their nutritional value when cooked in the Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker. Foods may be steamed by placing food in the stainless steel steaming trays cover stock or water and covering with the glass lid. Keep the glass lid on while steaming food unless the recipe or chart specifically states to remove the lid. By removing the lid unnecessarily, steam is lost and the cooking time will be extended.

1. Measure 2 Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker cups or more of water or stock to the removable cooking bowl. Use up to a maximum of 6 Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker cups of water.
2. Place food to be steamed directly onto the stainless steel steaming tray and insert into the removable cooking bowl. (Refer to the Steaming Charts on pages 11-13 for approximate cooking times).
3. Place removable cooking bowl with the steaming tray into Stainless Steel Housing and cover with the glass lid.
4. Plug into 110/120 volt power outlet and then switch on. The amber 'Keep Warm' light will illuminate.
5. Push the Selector Control down to begin cooking. The red 'Cook' light will illuminate.

6. When steaming is complete, remove foods from the Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker. If further steaming is required ensure sufficient water is in the removable cooking bowl. If not, add more hot water or stock.

7. If no further steaming is required, turn the Rice Duo 10 Rice Cooker off at the power outlet and then unplug. Allow to cool before cleaning. When the cooking bowl is removed to discard water, the Selector Control will reset to the 'Keep Warm' position.

Do not let the removable cooking bowl boil dry during steaming.

Note

Hot liquid can be added during the steaming process.

Note

Both steaming trays can be stacked or used separately

Note

Hints and tips for steaming vegetables

• Smaller pieces will steam faster than larger pieces
• Try to keep vegetables to a standard size to ensure even cooking
• Fresh or frozen vegetables, do not thaw.
• The size and shape of vegetables, as well as personal taste, may call for adjustments to the cooking time. If softer vegetables are required, allow extra cooking time.
