Assembly guide

Control panel: cooking programs

The EveryGrain™ Cooker features 5 Auto-Cook Programs, plus a Steam program if you’re steaming food.

TO SELECT A COOKING PROGRAM:
Select one of the 5 auto-cook programs by pressing the button of the cooking program you desire on the control panel, located on the front of the unit, below the lid. To change programs, just press a different button. Once pressed, the button lights up fully, indicating your chosen program.

• WHITE RICE
  This cooking program yields light, fluffy results, whether you’re cooking jasmine, basmati, or sushi rice. Measure your scoops, add to the Cooking Pot, and fill with water to the White Rice Line in the Cooking Pot. Select the White Rice Program and press Start.

• BROWN RICE
  This setting delivers expertly cooked brown rice, every time. Fill the Cooking Pot to the Brown Rice Line for Whole Grain Brown Rice and for Indian and Pakistani Brown Basmati Rice. Select the Brown Rice Program and press Start.

• OATS
  Whether steel-cut or rolled, this cooking program turns your oats into creamy, comforting porridge. Use a 1:2 ratio of oats to water for rolled oats, or measure your oats using the Measuring Scoop and fill the Cooking Pot with water to the Oats Line. Select the Oats Program and press Start.
  Note: Steel cut oats will require a 1:3 oats to water ratio.

• QUINOA
  This superfood is actually a seed, which makes it high in protein and other nutrients. Quinoa comes in white, black, brown, or multicolored. For all quinoa types, measure your quinoa using the Measuring Scoop and fill the Cooking Pot with water to the Quinoa Line. Select the Quinoa Program and press Start.

• GRAINS
  Many ancient grains such as amaranth, farro, spelt, buckwheat and millet offer many health benefits as well as great flavor and texture. Consult our Measuring Guide on Page 8 for water to grain ratios, or simply measure the grain and water as grain package directs. Select the Grains Program and press Start.

TO USE STEAM PROGRAM:
Press Steam if you’re only steaming food. The timer will show 0:00. Press (or press and hold) the up/down arrows to adjust steaming time in 1-minute increments (each up/down press will add or subtract 1 minute). The maximum time you can set for steaming is 1 hour.

• STEAM
  The EveryGrain™ cooker lets you steam foods in one of two ways: you can steam items and cook grains simultaneously, or you can steam items on their own. To steam items on their own, simply fill the Measuring Scoop with water and add to the cooker, select the Steam Program, and set the timer for the length of time your food requires to cook. For tender green vegetables, remove prompty and shock in ice cold water to stop cooking.

• KEEP WARM
  All programs, will automatically switch to Keep Warm once the cooking program has completed, for up to 3 hours. This will keep your grains at an ideal temperature for when you are ready to eat. The timer will count up in the Keep Warm stage to let you know how long cooked foods have been resting. Remove tender foods from heat immediately after the end of the cooking program to ensure they will not overcook.

• START-STOP
  Use the Start/Stop button to start a cooking cycle after choosing a program, cancel a cooking program, or end the Keep Warm stage.

• DELAY START
  After selecting your desired cooking program, you can choose to delay cooking for up to 12 hours! This will ensure grains or rice are ready on your schedule. Select your desired cooking program, then press Delay Start, set your time (the timer defaults to 2 hours, but can be adjusted up to 12 hours. Use the arrows to move up and down in increments of 15 minutes.) After setting to your desired delay time, select Start, and the countdown to commence cooking will begin.

Measuring & cook time guide

Reference the full measuring & cook time guide included separately with your nutribullet® EveryGrain™ Cooker for more details. The cooking pot capacity is 5 rice cups raw grains, 10 rice cups cooked grains.

1. UNPACK
   Open the box and remove the appliance with its various components, placing all parts on a flat, level, and dry surface.

2. CLEAN
   The Steaming Basket, Spatula, and Measuring Scoop are all dishwasher safe, or you can rinse them with warm, soapy water to clean. Rinse the Cooking Pot with warm soapy water, and clean the Cooker Base with a clean, damp cloth.

Usage instructions

1. Place food into the Cooking Pot and add water. Put up to 5 scoops of rice or other grains, or up to 4 scoops of quinoa or oats into the Cooking Pot and then add water. Use the inner pot markings as a guide for how much water to add for the amount of rice or grains you’re cooking.
   For example, if cooking 4 cups of white rice, add water up to the line connected to the circled “4” in the column titled “white rice.”

2. Open the Cooker Lid and insert the Cooking Pot into the Cooker Base. Push the button on top of the Cooker Lid to open it. Insert the Cooking Pot into the Cooker Base, making sure it’s seated and level on top of the inner heating plate.

If you press Delay Start, a default time (2:00) is displayed on the timer, indicating 2 hours until cooking or steaming starts. To adjust the Delay Start time, press the up/down arrows. Each press adjusts time by 15 minutes. Delay time can go as low as 15 minutes (minimum delay time) or as high as 12 hours (maximum delay time). Once the Delay Start timer countdown reaches 0:00, the cooking or steaming program begins.

7. Press the Start/Stop button to begin the cooking or steaming process. Press again to stop. After selecting a cooking program or Steam program (and selecting Delay Start, if desired), press the Start/Stop button to begin the Delay Start timer (if used) or the cooking/steaming program.

   If steaming: After setting time and pressing the Start/Stop button, the cooker will automatically preheat before it begins the timer countdown. Preheating takes between 5-9 minutes. Once preheating has completed, the timer will begin counting down immediately.
   NOTE: cooking times will vary depending on the type of food and quantity used. To review how long cooking will take for a particular grain and quantitiy, see the included Measuring & Time Guide included with your EveryGrain™ Cooker.

9. When cooking/steaming is complete, the unit enters Keep Warm program. Once cooking/steaming is done, the cooker will automatically enter Keep Warm program, one beep will occur, and the timer will start counting up (to indicate time elapsed since your program completed).

    CAUTION: Food, Cooking Pot, Steaming Basket (if used), and inner heating plate will be HOT after cooking! Handle carefully; wear oven mitts to protect your hands while handling hot cooker items. Do not touch or clean the inner heating plate until the plate has completely cooled down.
    NOTE: Clean Cooking Pot, Steaming Basket, Spatula, Measuring Scoop, and heating plate regularly to avoid food residue buildup.

Tips & tricks

GENERAL TIPS

• • After you press down on the button to open the Cooker Lid, the lid will automatically rise up and stay in an upright position on its own. CAUTION: Do not overload the pot with food and water. Keep its contents below the highest line shown on the inner pot markings.
  • Clean the outside of the Cooking Pot before putting it into the Cooker Base.
  • When closing the Cooker Lid, make sure to press the lid all the way down, until you hear a click to indicate that the lid is locked in place.
  • The cooker automatically enters Keep Warm program for up to 3 hours after the cooking cycle completes, so grains are always warm and ready to eat.

DON’T USE METAL UTENSILS OR METAL SCOOP
To protect the non-stick coating on the Cooking Pot and other parts of the cooker, don’t use a metal spoon or other metal utensils when using this product. Use the included Spatula, or wood/plastic utensils.

AFTER COOKING IS DONE
To avoid rice sticking together, stir within 30 minutes in Keep Warm program. Unplug appliance when not in use for a prolonged period of time. Make sure the power is off, unit is unplugged, and the cooker has completely cooled down before cleaning, moving, or storing this product.

Troubleshooting

• PROBLEM: Cooker does not power on.
  SOLUTION: Make sure the Power Cord is plugged into an electrical outlet. An audible beep will be heard when the appliance is plugged in. The Power Button will be illuminated blue, indicating it needs to be pressed in order to turn on the unit.

• PROBLEM: Cooker will not operate (lid open). The unit won’t operate if the Cooker Lid is not fully closed and locked.
  SOLUTION: Make sure lid is all the way down; listen for a click to ensure lid is fully closed and locked.

• PROBLEM: Cooker will not operate (no cooking program or Steam program selected). The unit won’t operate if you have not selected a cooking program or Steam program.
  SOLUTION: Decide on a cooking program or Steam program, then press its button on the control panel.

• PROBLEM: Food sticks inside Cooking Pot, hard to clean.
  SOLUTION: Soak inside of pot with water for a while before cleaning. Water should loosen stuck food residue over time. Hot water is even more effective; and hot soapy water should be the most effective. If the residue is stuck on hard, try applying dishwashing liquid directly onto the residue and let it sit for a few minutes before soaking the area in water.

• PROBLEM: Rice is sticking together.
  SOLUTION: Stir rice within 30 minutes in Keep Warm program.

• PROBLEM: Liquid is leaking from the Cooker during cooking.
  SOLUTION: You may have added too much liquid for the grain you are trying to cook. Please be sure to follow the ratios listed in the Measuring Guide on pages 14 & 15.

Care & maintenance

Cleaning the EveryGrain™ Cooker is quick and easy. The Steaming Basket, Spatula, and Measuring Scoop are dishwasher safe or can be cleaned by rinsing in warm, soapy water. The Cooking Pot should always be cleaned by hand with warm, soapy water in order to preserve its nonstick coating.

1. STEP 1:
   After cooking is completed, remove contents from the Cooking Pot or Steaming Basket (to store or eat).

2. STEP 2:
   Dispose of any leftover food in the Cooking Pot or Steaming Basket, and rinse the pieces in warm, soapy water (or place the Steaming Basket in the dishwasher).

3. STEP 3:
   Once the unit has cooled down completely, clean the inner heating plate with a clean, damp cloth.

CAUTION: Never clean the heating plate immediately after cooking. Unplug the cooker and allow the heating plate to cool completely before cleaning.

Clean the Cooking Pot, the Steaming Basket (if used), and the heating plate after each use. Regular cleaning helps keep food residue from building up inside the pot or basket. If food sticks inside the Cooking Pot, soak pot with water for a while before cleaning. Clean the Sealing Panel, Steam Vent, and Condensation Collector thoroughly every time you use the Cooker. Use a damp cloth or sponge and warm, soapy water to wipe the Sealing Panel and Condensation Collector clean. Remove the Steam Vent plug and rinse with warm water. Clean inside of the Steam Vent with a damp cloth.
WARNING: Do not clean the Cooking Pot, Sealing Panel, or other parts of the cooker with steel wool pads/balls. The Cooker Base should only be cleaned by wiping it with a damp cloth.
CAUTION: Never submerge the Cooker Base in water or any other liquid.

How to store.
Before storing or moving the unit, make sure power is off, unit has cooled down, and the unit is unplugged.
CAUTION: make sure the appliance is off and has cooled to room temperature before storing.

Store unit upright in a cool, dry location. Keep accessories and power cord with cooker.
