Hints and tips for tasty rice

To cook rice with good taste

Measure rice correctly

• Please use the attached measuring cup to measure rice.
  • Measuring rice bins may measure differently from the attached measuring cup in some cases.

Clean rice quickly and adequately

• Rice absorbs the first water quickly. Drain the first rinse water immediately so that the rice doesn't smell like rice-bran.
  • After cleaning, rinse the rice until water becomes clear.

Stir rice after cooking

• Stir the rice at the bottom of inner pot without pressuring it. This will evaporate extra water and make it tasty.
• You should stir rice even if you want keep it warm after cooked.

Warming up the rice with good taste

Avoid the followings in order to warm up the rice with good taste

• Warm the cooked rice over 12 hours
• Re-warm cold rice again or add rice
• Warm up rice with a rice scoop inside
- Warm up other rice than rice cook (including sticky rice, brown rice, porridge (thick, thin))
• Warm up the cooked rice without cleaning well

Small amount of rice

- When only small amount of rice is left, pile it at the center of inner pot. (This will prevent the rice from being dry or wet)

Note

• When you keep rice cook warm over 12 hours, or for other kinds of rice, you can keep the rice tasty by wrapping it with plastic wrap and warm it with microwave oven every time.
• Stirring the rice occasionally during keeping warm can keep it tasty.
• When warming the rice cooked by other appliances, push Warm button to warm the inner pot before putting the rice in.

Knowledge for Rice

Water amount and different kinds of rice

• Fill water to suit each kind of rice and the way you like

	According to the scale of Japanese rice
Tahaeng riceSaohai riceChacwang rice	According to the scale of white rice	WHITE RICE

- Super Rapid is the menu to cook in shorter time, within 22 minutes and less than 2 cups of rice. Heating and steaming time is set shorter than regular cooking time; the rice may be slightly harder or less tasty. We recommend using Cook Program unless you are in a hurry.

Why cooked rice is burned?

Ripen rice should be pour water off for good scent and taste. If you prefer not to have burn, clean the rice very well so that it does not have any rice-bran left on the surface. White rice and other kinds of rice (not fragrant (jasmine) rice) tend to have burnt part more often.
