Cooking sweet rice

When cooking sweet rice, select the “Sweet•Mixed”

menu.

Wash the rice, and then level it out so that all of

the rice is under water.

Cooking grains together with white rice

• The amount of grains should equal less than

20% of the volume of the white rice.

• The grains should be placed on top of the

white rice. Mixing them together may result in

improperly cooked food.

• If you feel the cooked grains are too hard, soak

the grains separately for about 1 hour prior to

cooking.

Cooking grains together with brown rice

• Always use the “Brown” menu.

• The maximum acceptable amount for the

combination of brown rice and grains is 3.5

cups with the 1.0 L type and 6 cups with the 1.8

L type.

Cooking long-grain rice

• When cooking long-grain rice, select the

“Quick” menu. When cooking seasoned rice

with various ingredients using long-grain rice,

select the “Sweet•Mixed” menu. Selecting any

other menu may result in the contents boiling

over.

Tips on making delicious rice

Read p.14 to 15 for preparations

before cooking rice, and p.16 to

20 for how to cook rice.

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 place.

Carefully measure the rice with the

supplied measuring cup.

One cup equals about

0.18 L.

Use the supplied measuring

cup for rinse-free rice as well.

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.

When cooking germinated brown rice,

whole rice or semi-polished rice, select

the “Multigrain” menu.

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 burned rice,

the contents boiling over, or improperly cooked rice.)

Adding other ingredients to the rice

The total amount of ingredients should be no more

than 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 (refer to the table below).

rice or multi-grain-brown rice than white rice,

use the “Brown” menu.

• If there is an equal amount of brown rice and

white rice, or there is more white rice than

brown rice, use the “Plain” menu. (The brown

rice should be soaked separately for 1 to 2

hours before cooking.)

You can use the cooking plate to cook side dishes

described in the supplied “COOKBOOK” at the same

time as you cook rice. You can also add water to the

inner pot and cook side dishes without making rice.

Refer to the supplied “COOKBOOK” for directions.

Note

●Do not cook with a greater volume of ingredients

than that 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 adhere to 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.

Precautions for ingredients to

be placed in the cooking plate

●Donotllupthecookingplatewithingredients.

●Spread or make spaces between ingredients

sothatsteamisappliedevenly(lluptothe

position shown below).

Ingredients

should not be

placed above

this point

●Only use a small amount of liquid such as

water or sauce (it takes time to heat a large

amount of liquid).

●If milk or fresh cream is separated during

use, stir it well.

●Only use a small amount of leavening ingredients

such as pancake mix (about 1/3 of the cooking

plate). Be careful about the number of eggs

because they increase in volume (2 eggs

(medium size) for 1.0L (5.5-cup) type rice cooker,

3 eggs (medium size) for 1.8L (10-cup) type

rice cooker can be added. Adjustment may be

necessary when you add other ingredients.).

●Cut the root vegetables in thin slices as it

takes a long time to cook them.

●Using the cooking plate, only steaming is possible.

*Ifheatingisnotsufcientwhilecookingby

following the above suggestions, transfer the

ingredients to another container, and reheat

them using a device such as a microwave (do

not put the inner pot and cooking plate in the

microwave).

1 Prepare the ingredients and

place them in the cooking plate.

• Stacking ingredients on top of each other

may result in the contents boiling over or in

improperly cooked food. Spread ingredients

over the whole of the cooking plate.

2 Make the necessary

preparations for cooking rice.

(See p.14.)

Note

●Refer to the following table for the acceptable

amounts of rice that can be cooked concurrently
