Quick Cook setting. Not only can you get

a quick rice out of it, it is also great for

Israeli couscous and rice pilafs as well.

Quick Cook can also be used as a sauté

function when used with the Slow Cook

and Soup function.

varieties (long, medium or short grain).

Keep Warm function.

Risotto – a specially designed function

to provide time to make perfect risotto

every time – all in one pot.

Oatmeal – both traditional old-fashioned

oats and Irish-style steel cut oats can be

• We recommend rinsing all imported rice.

Swirl until the water appears cloudy, then

drain in a fine mesh strainer. Fill the bowl

clear or nearly clear.

• Some people wash domestic (not

imported) rice, which is usually vitamin-

enriched. This removes the starch and

makes it less sticky, but it also washes

away some of those vitamins.

• Sushi rice and most brown rice should

always be rinsed before cooking. Follow

the directions on the package your rice

comes in.

automatically.

c. To turn off the unit at any time, press

the Off button.

• Brown rice should be kept on the Keep

Warm setting for no more than 2 hours.

If kept at that setting longer, the rice may

begin to ferment.

d. Once you are ready to serve, press

the Lid Release button to open the

lid.

• When measuring rice with your rice

cooker cup, level it off with a table knife

or spatula.

e. Fluff contents (if applicable) with

paddle or utensil suitable for non-

stick cookware.

• Adding a teaspoon of vegetable oil to rice

or coating the cooking bowl lightly with

nonstick cooking spray will result in rice

with separated, less sticky grains.

f. Lift and remove the cooking pot from

the unit using pot holders.

CLEANING AND CARE

• After adding rice to the cooking bowl, level

it off to cover the entire bottom of the bowl

so it cooks evenly.

1. Unplug your cooker and allow it to cool

before cleaning.

2. Cooking pot, steaming rack, steam

release vent, inner lid, measuring cup,

paddle and spoon can be washed

in warm soapy water and rinsed

• The taste of the water will affect the taste

of the rice. If you do not like the taste of

your tap water, use filtered water.

• Rice can be cooked in liquids other than

ꢇ

water. Use low-fat, low-sodium meat or

vegetable stocks/broths. Fish stock or

clam broth may be used for seafood-

flavored rice.

KEEP WARm

• The Keep Warm function is a great way to

keep already heated foods warm for

serving. It is not meant as a cooking

function. Raw meats or foods under the

temperature of 140°F should not be cooked

using this function.

• When making rice, open the rice cooker as

soon as the audible tone sounds to indicate

cooking cycle is complete. Stir rice with the

rice paddle or a wooden spoon – this

prevents rice from hardening or getting

sticky.

SOUP/SLOW COOKING

• When using the Soup or Slow Cook

function, the cooking pot should not be

filled more than ¾ full.

• For combination dishes of rice, steamed

vegetables, seafood, poultry and/or meats,

use our recipes as a guide and then create

your own.

• Any meats should be browned first before

slow cooking.

• The best time to add vegetables to rice is

just after the Rice Plus™ finishes cooking

and enters the Keep Warm mode. Stir in

chopped raw vegetables, such as green

onions, slivered snow peas, shredded

carrots, or even grape tomatoes to add

texture to the dish – they will warm up while

the rice is resting, and if served within 5 to

10 minutes, will retain their unique textures.

STEAmING

• When steaming vegetables, clean them and

trim to a consistent size so they cook

evenly.

• When steaming meats such as poultry or

sausage, cut into small, consistently sized

pieces (such as “finger strips” or ½-inch

slices) and arrange in a single layer in the

Steaming Basket.

• When you don’t have time to monitor or

constantly stir dishes like Risotto and

Oatmeal, use your Rice Plus™. Just select

the specific program and walk away. The

unit will go to Keep Warm when food is

finished cooking.

OATmEAL

• Oatmeal should always be well stirred

before serving.

• If your recipe calls for salt, add it after

adding liquid, and swirl with the rice paddle

or a wooden spoon to evenly distribute it–

then level off the rice as evenly as possible.

FINISH TImE

• Some foods taste best when served just

after they finish cooking. If you would like

rice or other foods to be freshly cooked

later in the day, decide on the time you’d

like to eat, and program the desired Finish

Time.

QUICK COOK

• The Quick Cook function can be used as

a sauté function when used in combination

with the Slow Cook or Soup function. Use

the Quick Cook function as a stovetop

burner to sauté and brown meats, as well

as vegetables and grains, before selecting

the appropriate program to finish cooking

a dish.

• If using perishable fresh ingredients, do not

use the Finish Time feature.

• The following are approximate cooking

times:

• White rice – 45 minutes

• Brown rice – 1 hour 50 minutes

• Quick rice – 30 minutes

• Soft – 55 minutes

• You can also use the Quick Cook function

to prepare commercially packaged pilafs,

rice and grain mixes. If directed to saute

ingredients, select Quick Cook, add

specified amount of butter or oil, rice,

vegetables, and meat and sauté according

to package instructions. Then add liquid,

close the lid, and select appropriate

• Risotto – 1 hour

COOKING CHARTS

GUIDE FOR COOKING RICE

Use these charts and the water level markings in the bowl as a guideline. There are variables

in the texture of cooked rice, from subtle differences between brands to rinsing or not rinsing

to personal taste. Let your taste and preference serve as your best guide. If your rice/grain is

too hard or chewy, increase water amounts by ¼ cup at a time. If rice/grain is too soft, reduce

the water by ¼ cup until your desired texture is achieved.

GUIDE FOR STEAmING VEGETAbLES, POULTRy AND SEAFOOD

Put two liquid measuring cups of water into the cooking pot. Arrange foods in a single layer

in the steaming tray. Vegetables should be cut in similar sizes as indicated. Cooking times

are approximate and will yield cooked but crisp/tender vegetables. Add more time for more

tender/softer vegetables or cut back on time for crispier vegetables to taste.

Foods must be removed immediately after vegetables have finished cooking to prevent

overcooking. If cooking vegetables over rice, use chart to determine approximatley when to

add steaming tray to rice cooker.

Note: A beep will indicate the end of a 3-minute preheating time. Cooking times below

Recipes

All recipes in this Instruction & Recipe Booklet

are written with the included Rice Plus™ Multi-

Cooker measuring cup to measure the rice or

grain. The liquid is measured with a standard

liquid measure cup (1 cup = 8 ounces = 16

Only white rice can be cooked to the maximum

amount possible in the Rice Plus™ Multi-Cooker

(8 cooker cups). Do not cook more than the

suggested amounts of other rice on the cooking

TIPS On MAkIng

SuShI ROllS:

Sushi is very versatile and can be made with just

about any filling that you wish. If using raw fish, be

sure that it is sushi-grade fish from a reputable

fishmonger. Cooked fish and vegetables are simple

alternatives.
