IMPORTANT GUIDELINES
• This appliance generates steam. Do not operate it
without the lid in place.
• Do not use your Rice Cooker/Steamer under
hanging wall cabinets; the escaping steam could
cause damage.
• Do not use metal utensils. Metal utensils will dam-
age the nonstick finish on inner cooking bowl.
• Add rice and water before plugging in the cooker.
Because the Rice Cooker/Steamer does not have
an Off setting, the unit will automatically be in
Warm mode immediately after the unit is plugged
in.
TIPS AND HINTS
• The Cuisinart
®
Rice Cooker/Steamer is a perfect
appliance for a busy lifestyle and limited space.
It will cook rice and grains perfectly with minimal
fuss, taking up little counter space and leaving all
your burners free for other tasks. Cleaning up the
nonstick bowl is quick and easy and there is
virtually no maintenance.
• Your rice cooker can be used for more than just
rice. It is a simple way to cook pilafs. Simply turn
the unit on and walk away — it will
automatically switch to Warm when ready to serve.
• You can use your rice cooker to cook a combi-
nation of rice, grains and legumes at the same
time. Follow our recipes for ideas and suggested
amounts to use — let your imagination be
your guide.
• Rinsing/washing rice: Generally the rule is to
wash or rinse imported rice and not to wash or
rinse domestic (grown in U.S.) rice, as it has been
enriched with vitamins. To wash rice: place in a
medium bowl and cover with water, swirl until
the water appears chalky/cloudy, and drain in a
fine mesh strainer. Repeat until water is clear (or
nearly clear) when rice is covered and swirled.
Rice aficionados will even wash domestic rice, as
it removes the starches and reduces stickiness.
If you follow a well-balanced diet, then the loss
of these vitamins will not be detrimental. Do not
wash your rice in the rice cooker bowl – if the
outside of the bowl is wet when cooking, it may
cause damage to your rice cooker.
• Some varieties of rice may call for a soaking
period. This can be done in the rice cooker bowl
prior to cooking.
• When cooking rice, boil it until it has absorbed all
the liquid. At this time it is not quite done. Rice
benefits from a “boil-steam” method of cooking.
Allow your rice to rest on the Warm setting for 5
to 10 minutes before serving for best results. Do
not remove the cover and peek.
• After rice rests for 5 to 10 minutes, open rice
cooker cover and stir rice gently with rice paddle
or a wooden spoon. If rice is not ready to serve,
re-cover and let stand on Warm until ready.
