Guide for Cooking Rice
Cooking times will vary according to amount and temperature of cooking liquid.
The simplest way to cook long grain (converted) white rice is to place rice in cooking bowl and add liquid to
appropriate line marking. For example, using the rice measuring cup provided, fill cooking bowl with 2 cups
rice. Then, add water to the 2 cup water marking inside the bowl. If using 3 cups of rice, add water to the 3
cup water marking inside the pot. Do the same when using 4 to 8 cups of rice. Please note that preparing
less than 2 cups of rice is not recommended.
For grains or brown and specialty rice, use the chart provided below. Note that you should not prepare
these in amounts smaller or larger than stated in the chart.
All rice/grain is measured in the rice cooker cup. All water/liquid is measured in a standard liquid measuring cup.
