[RICE COOKING] [WHT]
[NORM, SCORCH or PORR]
[1.0–4.0] 60 min
1–4 rice cups (180–720 ml) plain white rice
189–756 ml cold water (1 cup rice to 1.05 cups water)
Measure the amount of rice using the provided rice measuring cup and level it off to precisely measure.
Transfer the rice into a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl and fill with cold water. Lift the strainer when the bowl is full and discard the water. Place the strainer back in the bowl and refill with clean water. Gently rinse the rice, then discard the water. Repeat this step. Once you finish rinsing, drain well and transfer the rice to the pot.
Use the provided water measuring cup to add the appropriate amount of water to the pot (exactly 189 ml of water for 1 rice cup).
Select [RICE COOKING] mode and [WHT] for the white rice option. Next, select the desired finish: [NORM] (Normal), [SCORCH] (Scorched), or [PORR] (Porridge). (For the Porridge option, the maximum amount of rice allowed to cook is 1.5 rice cups). Lastly, select the amount of rice you are cooking from [1.0–4.0] rice cups. Press [START] to begin.
Once the rice is cooked, loosen it by cutting it into quarters and folding each quarter using a rice spatula before serving.
Freezing is the best way to store leftover rice without deteriorating its flavor and texture. Wrap the leftover rice in microwave-safe plastic wrap while it is still warm to prevent moisture loss. The flavor will continue to deteriorate even if wrapped, so be sure to freeze as soon as it cools.
When ready to eat, defrost the frozen rice in a microwave for about 2–3 minutes, keeping the wrap on during defrosting. A steamer can also be used for defrosting.
For rice cooking, the clock display refers to the completion time (time of day) instead of a countdown timer. Make sure the clock is set before using RICE COOKING mode.
The first 30 minutes of RICE COOKING mode is soaking. To skip this step, press [V] to decrease the cook time.
You can adjust the amount of water to change the firmness of the rice. For a softer texture, add 5–10% more water than specified.
