TROUBLESHOOTING

Rice is too dry/hard after cooking

If your rice is dry or hard/chewy when the cooker switches to Keep Warm, additional water and cooking time will soften the rice. Depending on how dry your rice is, add 1/2 to 1 cup of water and stir thoroughly. Close the lid and press the White Rice button. When cooker switches to Keep Warm mode, open the lid and stir the rice to check the consistency. Repeat as necessary until rice is soft and moist.

Rice is too moist/soggy after cooking

If your rice is still foo moist or soggy when the cooker switches to Keep Warm, use the serving spatula to stir the rice. This will redistribute the bottom (moist) part of the rice as well as release excess moisture. Close the lid and allow to remain on Keep Warm mode for 10-30 minutes as needed, opening the lid and stirring periodically to release excess moisture.

Helpful Hints:
The provided rice cooker cup is the equivalent to a 3/4 standard US cup

Note:

  • Because of different varieties of rice, results may vary. Refer to these troubleshooting tips to help you achieve the desired consistency.

Helpful Hints:
To add more flavor to rice, try substituting a favorite meat or vegetable broth or stock. The ratio of broth/stock to rice will be the same as water to rice.
For approximate rice cooking times and suggested rice/water ratios, see the "Rice & Water Measurement Table".

QUICK RICE

Note:

  • Before placing the inner pot into the cooker, check that it is dry and free of debris. Adding the inner pot when wet may damage the cooker.
  • Some grains require a much longer cooking cycle than others due to the extra bran layers on the grains. The Multigrain and Brown Rice functions on this cooker allow extra time and adjusted heat settings in order to cook the grains properly. if it appears the cooker is not heating up immediately on the Multigrain and Brown Rice settings, this is due to a low-heat soak cycle that precedes the cooking cycle to produce better results.
  • Food should not be left in the cooker on Keep Warm for more than 12 hours.

Helpful Hints:
If you misplace the measuring cup, a 3/4 standard US cup is an exact replacement.
