Due to the additional water needed, do not cook more than 4 cups brown rice. • The measuring cup included is not an exact cup. Chart refers to cups of rice/water based on the measuring cup provided. • This is only a general measuring guide. As there are many different kinds of rice available (see About Rice on page 8), rice/water measurement may vary slightly. *This rice cooker is designed to cook up to 6 cups of rice at a time. Cooking a larger quantity is not recommended. HELPFUL HINTS: 1. Rinse rice to remove excess bran and starch. This will help reduce browning and sticking to the bottom of the pot, but it may also reduce nutrients in the rice. 2. If you have experienced any sticking due to the type of rice you are cooking, try adding a light coating of vegetable oil to the bottom of the inner pot before adding rice. 6 COOKINGGUIDESCOOKINGGUIDES Steaming Chart: VEGETABLE AMOUNT OF WATER STEAMING TIME Asparagus 1/4 Cup 10 Minutes Broccoli 1/4 Cup 10 Minutes Cabbage 1/2 Cup 15 Minutes Carrots 1/2 Cup 15 Minutes Cauliflower 1/2 Cup 15 Minutes Corn 1/2 Cup 15 Minutes Eggplant 1 Cup 20 Minutes Green Beans 1/2 Cup 15 Minutes Peas 1/4 Cup 10 Minutes Spinach 1/4 Cup 10 Minutes Squash 1/4 Cup 10 Minutes Zucchini 1/4 Cup 10 Minutes NOTE: • The times above are cooking times once water has reached a boil. Time needed to reach boiling will vary depending upon the amount of water used. HELPFUL HINTS: 1. Since most vegetables only absorb a small amount of water, there is no need to increase the amount of water with a larger serving of vegetables. 2. Always keep the lid closed during the entire steaming process. Opening the lid causes a loss of heat and steam, resulting in a slower cooking time, and may also cause burns. If you find it necessary to open the lid, use caution. You may want to add a small amount of water to help restore the cooking time. 3. Altitude, humidity and outside temperature will affect cooking times. 4. The steaming chart is for reference only. Actual cooking times may vary. 7 ABOUTRICEABOUTRICE Rice is a valuable source of low fat, complex carbohydrates and is abundant in thiamin, niacin and iron.
