Follow these steps for optimal rice cooking results.
4.1 Preparing Rice
- Measure the desired amount of raw rice using the provided measuring cup. The cooker has a capacity of 55 cups of raw rice.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.
- Mettere il riso sciacquato nella pentola di cottura interna.
- Add the appropriate amount of water. A common ratio is 1:1 for white rice (e.g., 1 cup rice to 1 cup water), but this may vary based on rice type and desired consistency. Consult your rice supplier for specific recommendations.

- Press the 'Cook' button or activate the ignition as per the controls on your specific unit. The burner will ignite, and the cooking process will begin.
- The rice cooker will automatically switch to 'Warm' mode once the rice is cooked and the water has been absorbed. This typically takes 20-30 minutes, depending on the quantity and type of rice.
- Allow the rice to rest in 'Warm' mode for at least 10-15 minutes after cooking for best results. Do not lift the lid during this time.
- After resting, open the lid carefully, avoiding steam. Fluff the rice with a rice paddle before serving.
4.3 Porzioni
