• We recommend rinsing all imported rice.  
Place rice in a medium bowl and cover  
with water. Do not use the cooking bowl.  
Swirl until the water appears cloudy, then  
drain in a fine mesh strainer. Fill the bowl  
with fresh water and repeat until water is  
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  
 
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

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  
include the 3-minute preheat.

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  
tablespoons). The cooker measuring cup = ¾  
cup standard dry rice measure or 12 tablespoons.  
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  
chart, as the amount of liquid needed to cook  
larger amounts will boil over.

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.
