COOKING TIPS
RICE COOKING TIPS
Add a little extra water for fluffier rice
and a little less water for firmer rice.
Washed rice will have some extra water
adhering after rinsing. This extra water
will extend the cooking time slightly.
Reduce the measured amount of water to
compensate, if required.
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.
Due to the additional water needed to
cook brown rice, some starchy water
bubbles may rise to the lid while
cooking. For best results, wash brown
rice before cooking and allow to stand
on the WARM setting for 20 minutes
after cooking to absorb the remaining
moisture.
PORRIDGE AND SOUP
COOKING TIPS
A variety of vegetable-style soups can be
cooked using the Porridge/Soup setting.
Ensure there is sufficient liquid and
simmer the ingredients for up to
2 hours for full flavour development. Do
not allow soup ingredients to exceed the
10–cup maximum line.
